Looking forward, Dawn has many plans that will carry on the success of her business, taking it to the next level. These include the development of a new five module online course on creating a vision for growth. This is based on the work she has often done with clients, but is designed to be self-completed as opposed to undertaken one- Starting a business is no easy task, and a balance needs to be struck between an optimistic outlook and a practical mindset.
