Build Your Business Road-Map Workshop

By  (Edit)

Are you an entrepreneur with great ideas and huge potential, yet struggling to bring those ideas to fruition?

I’ll bet!! You’re wearing a dozen hats, you have clients to keep happy, bookkeeping to stay on top of and you also need to market your business? With so much going on in your mind every day, it’s no wonder you lose sight of what is important – achieving your goals!

  • identify the areas you wish to focus on in your business
  • use mind-mapping to develop your business road-map
  • create an action plan and set specific goals with a date to achieve them!

Please join us to celebrate the start of our 50th group AND see what’s new at Grow Vantage!

In this era of pivoting and disruptive technology, to have an entrepreneurial program reach 16 years and 50 groups is pretty amazing.  And a lot of this is because of you… the cream of entrepreneurs who have enthusiastically joined us throughout the years.

Register for this free event: https://www.growvantage.com/events/celebrate-our-50th-grow-vantage-group/ (so we can have a handle on numbers)

Come join Patricia Dent, Donna Douglas and other GVers, to raise a glass of wine (water, coffee or tea, if you prefer) to the exciting milestones Grow Vantage has reached… and see what is in the works right now!

This is a networking party – and there is no cost to join us! But we would appreciate it if you would register so we know how many people are going to be here!

(If you’d like a refresher or makeup… Sinda Simpson will be teaching Infomercials (and I’ll be talking about Presentations)

When? 5:00 pm, Tuesday November 12th (until 6:30 – or later if you are joining us in class)

Where? Suite Success at ESS Direct (the Donna Douglas Room, of course!)

Here is the link to register (just so we can manage numbers)

NEW model for WSIB in 2020

By Leave a Comment

Are you supposed to be registered for WSIB?

(Please don’t call WSIB, call the Ontario Employer Advisor, who represent companies and do not report to WSIB)

Do you know that rules and rates are changing in 2020?

Please check the WSIB webinars/information site (see below)

With fewer businesses eligible for WSIB in the last few groups we have decided to make use of the official webinars that WSIB holds to explain the changes they are making to their framework and rates for 2020.

Here is the link to information that appears on their website:

https://www.wsib.ca/en/businesses/premiums-and-payment/rate-framework

Under this page, there are sections for how the new framework and rates will work:

  • https://www.wsib.ca/en/rate-framework-our-new-model
  • https://www.wsib.ca/en/rate-framework-how-does-our-new-model-work
  • https://www.wsib.ca/en/rate-framework-experiencing-rating-programs
  • https://www.wsib.ca/en/rate-framework-our-new-policies

Did you know we’re starting Grow Vantage Group 50?

By Leave a Comment

16 years ago Donna Douglas started Grow Vantage and we’re not only still here, we’re expanding in the next few months. (Stay tuned for my blogpost)

Do you know someone who would benefit from Grow Vantage?…

  • One-on-one coaching just when you need it….
  • 30 classes taught by experienced entrepreneurs (we’re adding 2 new classes to Group 50)
  • Network connections and peer mentorship (from our amazing members)

Please connect them to me (patricia@growvantage.com)

And we’re revamping our referral program!

If you have participated in the Grow Vantage referral program in the past

  • Please let me know if you’d like to continue to benefit from a free listing and potential choice of a referral gift

If you have graduated from Grow Vantage and would like more details on participating – let me know

(…here is the brief scoop)

  • Your business has a free listing as someone who would give a referral gift
  • You put together a gift (value $50 including HST) although you can choose to provide more than $50 of value for your gift)
  • Your gift appears in the listing with your name
  • We’re going to put this list on our website, for the referring person to choose a gift (once the person they refer has registered and is attending Grow Vantage)
  • We connect you with the person who has chosen the gift and they pick it up
  • We send you $50.00

Thanks everyone!
