Well it started as a $2.7M Giveaway but we have since expanded our list of winners and, instead of having just 9 people in the SMARTSTART Business Success Program receiving a year's worth of management consulting and coaching, we've doubled the number of winners to 18 lucky entrepreneurs! Listen to Alex explain why he's doing this and more! For example, he's willing to pay more per month than you will just so you can be in this program. That's how much he wants you to have this opportunity to succeed in creating your business dreams. (A seat in the SMARTSTART Business mentoring program costs $99. You pay $49 and Alex will pay the other $50 for you. How many teachers do you have that would be willing to do that just to help you succeed hmmmmm?)

Her proven research-based models and programs have been used as the foundation of many highly acclaimed initiatives. A tireless advocate for children's education and well being, Sandra has been honoured with many awards for her achievements. Among other accomplishments, Sandrarsquo;s work has been showcased by the OECD and the United Nations as well as the International Centre for the Prevention of Crime. She also was the only non-American invited to present to a White House Presidential Commission on Hispanic American Affairs. Sandra is the developer of the "Together We Light the Way" and the "Creating Safe and Caring Learning Communities" models, and is now an advisor to the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario's "Aboriginal Literacy Initiative." Having touched the lives of thousands, she invites educators to "think with her" to create personalized solutions to specific problems. And we're looking forward to working with her in the SMARTSTART Business Success Program to see what more can be done as she pursues new directions in her business.

He's built a successful coaching practice from scratch on the strength of personal referrals for his work alone. But he is looking to expand his business and develop new methods of marketing his professional services so we're thrilled to have him in the SMARTSTART Business Success Program and he's thrilled to have won professional support to help him expand over the coming year.

Dr. Tilton is an NLP trainer, energy practitioner and licensed nutritionist with dozens of project ideas to explore for revenue potential. On the day of the draw, Kerry was having a challenge getting her order through but she did not give up and, as it turned out, she would not have won had this delay not happened. She was obviously meant to be in the SMARTSTART Business Success Program and she and I and her entire family are excited to see what can be made of her many creative ideas.
