What past students are saying...

“Summer School came at the perfect time. It’s given me so much clarity and confidence that I’m on the right track with my boutique’s vision. I can’t thank you enough for all the time, energy, and support your team pours into helping us. It’s made a huge difference already!”

- Kathy S.

“After listening to the summer school training, I went on to stories and asked my customers to please leave me a review because it would help my Google ratings. I've had 10 reviews in the last day :) Sometimes these trainings are good for the small reminders to just ask for what we need as small biz owners. Most of the time, our customers love us and want us to be successful, so they are happy to do something small, like write a review.” - Natalia B

“Thank you all so much for Summer School! I want to open an online store, and these three days have taught me the importance of planning, preparation, and strategy.”

- Monica C.
