While being in the program, I've had so much success with learning different entrepreneurial skills. When I first started the program, I had a different idea for a business. Having no clue how to even start it, I shifted my mind to a different business concept. Skip forward to a marketing campaign that we had to do later on in phase two, I was scared and had some tragic family issues that had happened at the time. With not even wanting to go, and me feeling like I was unprepared to stand and pitch my elevator speech. Well I stood tall over that fear that day, and actually became comfortable with talking to everyone that had come to my stand. This right there was a huge success for me to overcome that fear of failure and now I have more confidence when it comes to these marketing campaigns.

I joined the Thrive program to gain knowledge of creating and sustaining a successful business. Joining the program has given me so much confidence in my abilities to be an entrepreneur and allows me to share and encourage others to step out on faith and follow their dreams as well. The program has given me so much insight and access to how I can build my business and even ways to support my community.

During our first networking event I made multiple contacts with people who want to work with me and are interested in helping expand my business. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet many entrepreneurs and build amazing relationships with them.

Thank you so much Thrive Network for giving me the background and confidence to start my new business. I’ve had a small at-home business before, but I needed help knowing about taking on employees and securing necessary insurance coverage. I was concerned that I would miss a facet of setting up my business that would hold me back going forward. Thanks to the commitment, love (yes, love), and concern of Thrive instructors, I feel so much more prepared to move forward with my new business!

Before the Thrive program, I feel like I was walking through the space of entrepreneurship blindly. I had no idea how to develop my company, what it entailed, or what resources were available to me to help me succeed in this space. The information and instruction in this program is empowering and so, so valuable. I have learned more and built more confidence in regards to being a business owner in the 4 months of this program than I did in over two years of exploring this space myself. I recommend the Thrive program to anyone thinking about starting their own small business or wanting to improve their already established small business.

Thrive has given me the courage to pursue my entrepreneurial endeavor. Without the information provided through Thrive, I would have made many grave errors in starting my business. There’s a lot of work but I have the resources to succeed.
