“Wendy taught two business classes at h+h Americas 2023 and they were some of the most popular classes we had at the show! Wendy’s real-life experience as an independent retailer and her down-to-earth ability to share practical expertise makes her the ideal person to teach at our trade show. As a show organizer, she was easy to work with, reliable, and helpful. What else could you ask for?

Member Insignts
If you are serious about growing your business, open to new ideas, and looking for a community that actually listens, supports and encourages you, this uniquely business oriented mastermind is for you. I’ve been a member since its beginning and have made lasting and trusting relationships that have helped, and continue, to grow my business. Like anything, you get out of it what you put into it, but Wendy has strategically guided, listened, challenged, and supported us as we’ve grown our business. She actually encourages us to reach out between sessions and is there to help when we need it. I can give you a hundred reasons why this strategically positioned mastermind could be the springboard to taking your brick and mortar business to the next level 😊, and will be glad to share my experience with you. Looking forward to being a part of this wonderful community in 2026.
I have been a part of the Mastermind group for a few years now and it is one of the best things I have done for my business. I love our non-judgmental community. Wendy leads with authenticity and goes above and beyond to help. I have messaged her many times for help and she is always there. I especially love our one on one coaching sessions. If you are looking for some accountability with a great group of like-minded individuals, you’ve found the spot.
Hi! I have been a member for the last 2 years. I find the community and mentorship from Wendy and the other members helpful and encouraging. I am typically not such a group person and have found this a warm and welcoming space to grow and learn. I appreciate the friendships I have found and the growth I and my business have experienced. If you have found the inner circle to be helpful and beneficial, this is a deeper dive into that work.
I have been in the mastermind for at least four years that I can remember 😊 if anyone wants to reach out and get some feedback on my opinions, I will be renewing for next year and I’m happy to talk you through it. There is no better place to get a handle on your business with like-minded people and take the next steps that you need.
I joined the Mastermind Group in 2020, right when I needed a community of other brick and mortar owners — and it’s the best thing I’ve done for my business and myself! The people in this group “get” me, and it’s a great place to talk through ideas, get advice, celebrate wins, and commiserate when things don’t go as planned! A place that you can be vulnerable without judgment from others — because we all truly want what’s best for every member. Even though we’re from all over the globe, we’ve become true friends. Being a member also has the benefit of Wendy leading the multiple sessions — guiding us and holding us accountable (I need that!), plus one-on-one coaching with Wendy, which is so valuable! And messaging with her when you have a question, want to share something, or need a quick bit of advice. My business (and I) would not be where it is today AT ALL if it weren’t for the Mastermind group and Wendy. As Sylvia said, it’s a deeper dive for those who are serious about their business in all aspects. Definitely worth the time and treasure. Has repaid itself multiple times over!
This has been one of the best online marketing sessions I’ve ever done — and I feel like I’ve done a lot! I really loved that it was so practical and focused on doing the work.
