Big Results and Big Plans for the Future

As a result of the successful launch of the Brand Story Accelerator, investors in the audience selected several of the candidates who piqued their interest. One candidate, even though her team was not one of the top winners, captured the attention of a local investor who was invited by Entre-SLAM to attend the expo. He was impressed enough with her business model and narrative to explore helping her expand her operations.

FEEDBACK FROM THE TEAMS

We are very appreciative of the opportunity to meet everyone and share our story with you all. This workshop has been extremely helpful to give us clarity and focus, leading to increased confidence and professionalism for our business. The network of local experts we've built up is phenomenal. Hopefullywe will see you all again soon. The Showcase night was wonderful and the nervousness really brought us all together. We will be following everyone on social media and continuing to learn from you.

As the week comes to an end, our team is finally taking a minute to reflect on the internal adventure we are about to embark on. The energy in the teams this week have given us a new community, that we are excited to be a part of and to learn from. Christa, both April and I have been pleasantly surprised by the style in which this course has been presented and the questions + stories which have been so carefully intertwined into the learning assignments. They beg us to ask the questions that we so often overlook in the day to day of running our lives (both business and personal). Going through this process will be an interesting balance of our own journeys along with those of our founders (our families). Buckling down for this roller coaster together :) #PopToIt baby.

When I was accepted into the brand accelerator program with Christa Chambers-Price I knew that I would be learning about marketing tools for my small food business and that I would get to practice public speaking. I thought the course would be similar to other courses I have taken where I learn some tidbits about a topic, some that I could apply to my business and some I would  leave behind. I thought I would be simply given information and integrate the tools into my business when the time was right.   

What I didn't know was that I was about to embark on a greatly transformational 6-week deep dive into my core beliefs, my reason for being in business, and the purpose of my life. I know this sounds extreme, that because it was! Through readings, videos, activities and coaching conversations I was given the support needed to peer into what i'm really doing and why, rather than relying on a surface level easy-to-put-into-a-sound-bite version of what Im doing. Working with Christa gave me the courage to investigate what I care about the most and then communicate that clearly and succinctly on a stage in front of an audience. The process has had immense value to me. 

Getting to work with Christa is like having a stern fairy godmother who lovingly forces you to believe in your visions greatness. Christa's passion and commitment was with me the whole way through. I'm amazed at how much emotional strength and intelligence she has and is able to impart in a truly immersive learning experience platform. Christa's passion is contagious. She's like the cool aunt you wished you had.  I honestly feel that every small business would benefit from going through this course. I hope this course spreads wildly! The world is better off with Christa out there supporting people getting their best lives. Thank you Christa!
