Two initiatives for local businesses from Barrie Families Unite – thanks GVer Karen Collacutt for sharing
Nikki Glahn to Barrie Families Unite
Good Morning! Our Barrie Families Unite Facebook Group: We promised to evolve and come back with some creative ways to support ALL our wonderful local small business owners. Today we are announcing TWO ways we are doing that.
#1) We look forward to sharing some creative posts in our group, from our local small business owners. Use hashtag: #shoplocal
#2) The Shop Local Business Directory is being created because we are consistently seeing posts of people looking for trades or pet grooming or ideas of online gift cards, etc. Fill out our 3 minute form and it will add YOUR business to the shop local directory.*
Please SHARE this post in your own feed and tag other business owners.
* The Shop Local Business Directory will be published early next week. We will take a few days of submissions, so that it gets some entries in it and then it will LIVE here on our page (new submissions will always automatically be populated in the Directory file).

Business Mentor at Ask For Directions Training and Grow Vantage
Patricia is the Business Mentor and owner of Grow Vantage and a Past President of the Barrie Chamber of Commerce. She applies over 30 years of business experience (from start-up to corporate) to mentor entrepreneurs. Since 2011, she has held over 6,500 coaching and training sessions in-person and online. Through Ask For Directions Training, her entrepreneurial training program (and parent company Grow Vantage), and as a business coach, she works with start-ups who are new (or who have lost traction) to design, launch and grow their businesses. Along with 20 other expert instructors she teaches strategies in marketing, sales, communications, and finance, as well as practical techniques to increase productivity, and manage their businesses. In other words, everything entrepreneurs need to learn to grow and run their businesses successfully, and avoid the costly mistakes they can't even see coming - that lead to delays in growth and getting stuck.
