Vantaggi
I have owned this company for over a year. Some of the things I love about my business are: watching people grow personally and professionally; teaching new skills to people that didn't have them prior to working with us; and teaching people how to develop perspective in business. After owning a couple of businesses, the main virtue I am sure of is that the most successful people in any business maintain their positivity, and search for ways to improve all the time- some call it an entrepreneurial mentality. I definitely encourage that in my company because I strive to build business leaders who succeed independently, not just within my business. I practice a mentorship-type training with my associates to be able to teach them hands-on about how to communicate, market, sell, team build and lead from the front in everything they do. My company and I work with small, startup businesses to build their brands- simple as that. Specifically, the events we host are product launches, which benefits our clientele by connecting their brand with the public. I pay my team members a base pay during their training, and additional performance bonuses to reward them for the work that they do. From my experience working in the corporate world, I hated how everyone was treated and compensated the same despite the major differences in effort. Some may think my business is strange and unconventional, and from the outside looking in I would agree. But in all honesty - in order to be successful you have got to go against the grain and do what everyone else isn't doing. Anyone who does just a few minutes of research on successful business people can clearly see that pattern.

It is hard work. I am the first and loudest to state that. Learning how to communicate, negotiate, and train all different types of people, develop a strong team, all while staying self-motivated - those are all skills learned on your feet, but aren’t picked up by everyone. Like with everything in life, when you practice and work towards a clearly defined goal you'll eventually become a pro; but it takes time, patience and a lot of hard work. We are a small business and we are experiencing our growing pains like every other small business. I have read all of the reviews that are posted and I agree that there have been some bumps in the road along the way. I strongly encourage feedback and communication because if I don't know what needs to be fixed then it may never be rectified. For those who have come on here and other platforms to express their disappointments, I wish we could have spoken in that moment about what was troubling them so that a solution could have been found. But I do have the power to speak candidly about our values, our team, and our purpose. The purpose of writing this review was to hopefully to shed some light on us, and to offer another side to the narrative. Every business has peaks and valleys, but I am dedicated to always understanding our soft spots and using them to benefit our company. If you’re not interested in learning and growth, then I can tell you now that we probably won’t be a great match. However, if that does sound exciting to you, then I would love to have the chance to meet with you. We are a rapidly growing business, and growth means we need a strong team of people. We are looking for professionals that are looking for their career, not just their next job.
