“I’ve received business coaching and they have helped me start my business as well. I did have a business plan and a cashflow plan already because I’d done one for the NEIS program. We simplified it to the Many Rivers format and Tania, my Many Rivers business coach, has been very helpful with profit and loss statements.” – Trista, Trizzy’z Hair, Cressnock NSW
