Hi, I'm Toney Motha
Asking a Coach or Mentor to assist you with your business is not always the easiest thing to do. A lot of pride is at stake, especially if you are a “self-made” entrepreneur having to ask for assistance.
There is however no shame in getting an outside view of the little things which have been overlooked that can hamper your business in going to the next level.
Whether you have an existing business or you are just starting out, or even just have an idea you want to bring to life, there are always ways to create a triple-bottom line company, by just working smart.
These areas are no longer exclusively reserved for the large companies. You can have it all, and still have fun at the same time!
