What People Say
I have known that my business needed to expand and grow, yet I was unsure of the foundational steps that I would need to take to make this possible. The unknown felt scary and questionable. Power of Performance has given me the tools, direction, and confidence in understanding that my vision is attainable. I'm ending this program with a robust business plan that empowers and energizes me for the next phases of growth, a pitch deck, a new community of purpose-driven fellow peers, and a positive outlook.
