“Having started a business in 2006, this graphic designer knew even as talented she was in her field of expertise, she needed to know more. Preparing and running my business to develop and grow in a smart way was imperative to its success. That meant learning about financial and business plans, profit and loss spread sheets, and all those “left-brained mysteries” creative shops with “right-brain tendencies” prefer not to face. Where to go? Who would know best about entrepreneurs starting and growing a business? The solution could not have been easier - maybe divine intervention or karma. It’s called FastTrac. This wonderful program has helped me improve and grow my business to a level I could not have imagined in the short time since it started. As wonderful as the program is, neither I nor the program would not have achieved these huge levels of success without the direction and leadership of Vickie Waller. She has the knowledge, the people skills and the passion for helping new businesses learn and grow. I enjoy hearing the successes of other businesses who have greatly benefited from Vickie’s guidance and input. Ms. Waller consistently offers herself to each business owner above and beyond the actual sessions with feedback, encouragement and motivation. Without hesitation I highly recommend Vickie Waller to any new business owner in need of an outstanding professional on their team.” January 31, 2008, Sara Rich Dwyer, Owner, Sara Dwyer Design, LLC
