I'm new to this space. Let me introduce myself!

I am excited to be here but let me be honest, I feel like a fish out of water.

I was introduced to this space by a networking friend. She shared what was happening in this space and I thought I want to know more so I decided to show up!

Speaking of showing up, I am CEO and founder of Drastic Results Marketing and Sales Coaching and a franchisee with Network in Action. I'm a multi-book author. My latest book is titled, Show Up! Be Up! Follow Up to Blow Up! I teach entrepreneurs and franchise professionals how to network in their local markets to grow their businesses. Marketing and networking is often a big stretch for entrepreneurs and I teach then to be drastic so that they can grow their business to achieve their dreams.

After attending various franchise conferences in the past 3 years, there is a noticeable gap in the number of cultures that attend these events. I personally have lots of entrepreneurial communities that know nothing about franchising and franchising doesn't know how to reach those communities. I've decided to create an organization dedicated to bridging the gap.

I want to learn from this community about raising capital, qualifying for funding, and partnering with investors. Thanks for this safe space to learn!
