CJ guided me through laying the foundation for my business Financials and always has me kn her mind, despite the demands of her clients. She regularly links The Mpower Mint with individuals/businesses who jave become affiliates and Co tributed to the growth of my business/practice.

Sonja Beauchamp
Sonja BeauchampOwner & CEO of Love Bananas
Working with CJ added value to my start-up company. She helped Love Bananas Popsicles form an operational framework early on. A mistake most new businesses make, by not having: accurate Cost Of Goods Sold, Business Plan or good financial protections. CJ got that going early. My business has passed it's 1st year and I believe having that foundation in WCLI set the stage. A GOOD consultant will always be unbiased; EXCEPT, biased in ONLY wanting you to win. They push you and cause you to think. These are the attributes CJ brought to my small business.
