"I found today really useful. It was a good reminder to check in on your business. There were some really good take-home strategies - some we can implement immediately and some longer term things that we can 'pull out' the workbook at some time and implement them later. So yes, very useful for my business."

"I've had a great day here, with Shelley and her team - very informative. I'm going to go home and implement 3/4 of it - because I'm not ready for the other quarter! So watch this space!"

"We've had businesses that were established as well as start-ups, which I think was a really great way of everyone working together and sharing thier knowledge, without the overwhelm.  And also giving them some really great tips to implement straight away within their businesses - and hopefully we get to see what they do, and how they implement them in the near future!"
