Patty K is on a mission to help and support home-based business owners.  Especially those who (like her) are a bit on the shy side.  She offers highly interactive hands-on workshops on subjects like:

-Finding your "right people" (ideal clients)

-Developing products, programs and packages for your services

-Communicating what you do (and for whom)

Patty also leads small business masterminds: groups of 8 people who meet weekly to provide feedback, support and accountability to each other.  They brainstorm ideas, cheer each other on,

commiserate with (and solve) problems, set goals and keep each other on track to achieve them!

About patty personally:  Irrepressible idea generator.  Life long learner.  Gemini.  Introvert (INTP). Toastmaster. Pescetarian. Former sailor. Fashion challenged.

Aside from 3 short-lived "real" jobs, Patty has been in business for herself ever since she cornered the babysitting market on Elmhurst Street when she was 12.

Fan of change...her businesses have ranged from video store to real estate to freelance computer programming to teaching and training to "flipping" mobile homes.  (As in buying, fixing, and re-selling...not over-turning.)

In 2008, she sold everything she owned and took a 2 year mini-retirement.  She bought a sailboat with her partner and travelled 1,000 miles down the Mexican Gaja (after only 3 days of sailing lessons.)  No one died!

Join Patty as she shares her "why" the pyjamas.

Great story and great laughs!

When you walk into a room full of people at a networking meeting, you are sure to find Alexander Potter there.  You will know it, because of his infectious laugh and fabulous voice.

I first met Lex at a networking meeting, High Output Business Network, and I heard this wouderful voice and resounding laugh from across the room.  It caused me to turn to see who this was coming from, and I just had to meet this person!

Well, it turned out to be The 4Man of Finance, Alexander Potter!

Alexander Potter was born in the island paradise of Antigua, in the Caribbean.  Alexander's early years were shared between there, England, Guyana and Barbados.

...I love Barbados!...but I digress...

After you add his years living in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and both Vancouvers (BC and Washington State) it's fair to say that Alexander has lived in a wide variety of situations, cultures and climates.  This gives him a unique, multifaceted perspective and appreciation for people and situations.  He has turned this asset into a valuable tool to help those around him.

Alexander constantly strives to be a better man in order to serve those with whom he comes in contact.  His primary passions include his family (Cindi his Honey, Honey his dog, 4 step children and 4 grandchildren), golf, and life.

He lives his passion for increasing financial literacy by helping his clients find their voice with relation to their finances so that they experience the greater confidence and control that comes with having a Financial Plan.

When you have the opportunity of meeting with Alexander, you must ask him to share some of his great stories about people he has helped.  He shares one in this interview that you will enjoy!
