Hi, I'm Maria
I’ll be your guide to growing a business you love.
Why did I make this kit? When I was a solo entrepreneur starting my first business, I felt like I had to do everything at once, to the point where I didn’t even know where to start. Tasks were piling up, problems would spring out of nowhere, and my free time was non-existent.
Like a lot of entrepreneurs, I just slogged through it. But now, after launching 3 successful online businesses, I realize that a few simple resources and habits could have saved me. And it’s time for me to start sharing that expertise.
With assets like my pre-built planners and spreadsheets, you can stay organized (and less stressed) to help you relax and enjoy the process of building a business you love. Plus, my monthly webinars are a place to share connections, build your confidence, and find solutions or recommendations as I walk you through entrepreneurship.

The agenda of the Wiarton and District Chamber of Commerce (WDCC) is to champion the importance of business development, to partner with local festivals & events and other Chambers, and to promote the area as an outstanding place to shop, live, play, do business and return to time after time.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m not very good with spreadsheets, will this still work for me?
Absolutely. I built the spreadsheet templates so they would be as straightforward and uncomplicated as possible, while still delivering all the high-level organization you need when running a business.
Do I need to attend every webinar?
You can attend whatever webinars you want—the topic for each webinar will be released a month in advance so you can always decide if it will be valuable for you. But, I highly recommend coming to as many as you can! You never know what will pop up in the question period.
What kind of topics do you cover in your webinars?
We cover a rotating topic each month, but it’s always related to how to set the groundwork, how to grow, and how to innovate. So, establishing your business systems, choosing marketing software, automating your workload etc. And then I take any questions to help you problem-solve your personal roadblocks!
This isn’t my first business, will I still find this kit useful?
100%. Chances are, your first take at entrepreneurship was filled with a lot of late nights and weekend hours spent grinding away. Why don’t you do things differently this time? My starter kit can save you time and keep you on track, while my webinars keep you up to date on new tools and strategies that you didn’t have the first time around
