"When I applied for 'A New Path,' I was at a crossroads: I could continue to run a business that was doing well yet consuming all my time, or I could follow my heart and pursue my dream of writing a book. The juxtaposition of the stress of the business and the creativity necessary to write resulted in a tug-of-war and a no-win scenario. Not only did the program masterfully provide the business refresher I needed, but it also delivered the personalized coaching that helped me move toward a more satisfying and profitable future. I learned how to map out a plan to free my time, which allowed my business to prosper without intensive hands-on management from me. Thanks to the program, I've been given the tools to handle those 'stuck times.' To say that I'm grateful would be an understatement!"
