This class has been taught over the last seven years focusing on adults with much success.  We have trained moderate to low income individuals in accomplishing their goals of business ownership, a dream many had given up on.  Students are taught to face theirs fears, write down their goals with steps to achieve them and put a viable action plan together for success.  Over the last seven years over 400 students have been trained and mentored and the success rate has been over 65%.  They have started cleaning, hair salon, tax, catering, lawn care, construction, detailing and many other businesses.  But in addition to starting businesses many have returned to school or been promoted to better jobs because of their confidence and character growth.  Their Leader/Director, Donna Griffin, is a successful entrepreneur that has been in business for over 10 years and through growing  her successful and prosperous business enjoys teaching and training others.
