I have become so much more confident in my business and on social media since joining. I realized with the right support system, I can do anything I put my mind to. I will have my biggest year so far this year and am thankful to Leslie for sharing her knowledge with me!

I’ve learned so much about how to market to local businesses, and I’ve had some major mindset shifts that pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me market my business more confidently than ever. When I first joined, I hit the ground running—my April sales more than doubled!
