Prior to participating in the project, I really lacked confidence in the idea of me starting my own business. I was unclear about the steps I needed to follow which caused me to procrastinate. I couldn't help notice the change in myself these past couple of weeks as I check off the items on my To-Do List. I have been making steady progress with setting up my business.The unease I had previously felt has been replaced with the confidence of knowing what to do next. Even designing a website is easier because I've already thought through all the things I needed to know in order to construct an effective site.

I found the WRAP program to be especially helpful in two ways. First, it showed me how to cut through all the red tape of starting a business. Second, and I think most important, it provided a safety net of support and encouragement. As the program progressed it was a relief knowing that there was someone to turn to for advice and assistance when problems presented themselves.

The program really does work if you put the effort into it.
