I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Tara is both knowledgable and clear about helping set clear goals and targets. She is the first online tutor I have listened in regards to business goal setting that I felt compelled to watch. The ability to stop and start the video as necessary to answer questions was great, and made it easier than probably for the live audience. Would highly recommend this course to any entrepreneur.
This is a class you can come back to whenever you have tons of ideas and need direction, focus, clarity. Any class by Tara is information packed and actionable, and this class is no exception. This is an amazingly helpful class.
I binge-watched the course as I usually do when I watch Tara Gentile. Once I start watching, I can't stop. Next step: watch the videos again, grab the workbook and create my plan.
Super Helpful Tips and tricks for my Business and practical steps to improve it. Trank you so much Tara!
Thank you so much for this very useful class. Highly recommend it.
To Tara and CreativeLIVE: Thanks for your commitment to small business owners. You offer empowering mentorship with smarts, heart, and power - I'm grateful. Tara, I've sought the matching resources for my business as I've evolved, this AMAZING course truly rang my bell. Thanks for the traction, your willingness to keep growing forward, and not settling for less!
Thanks Tara! Another great class. Thumbs up from me ☺
This class was full of "aha" moments and actionable ideas. Tara packs so much quality info into this class, dives deep, and presents it with no BS. 5 stars!
I cannot say thank you enough for this class! Tara is so AWESOME easy to understand.
Tara knocked it out of the park again. Not only am I in the process of splintering off my photography business into two specialties, but my women's group is in the process of rebranding and reorganzing. In the very first hour, she gave me so many relevant tools to work with!! Never a moment wasted working with Tara Gentile
Tara Gentile is an exceptional Speaker,/Trainer/Marketing Strategist on CreativeLive! I've been an online participant for all of her classes, on this platfom and always block out full days on my calendar to gain from her experience and expertise. She has a fun, engaging and simple approach to teaching; which allows me to really get clear about how to build my business. I love Tara's forward-thinking style and her ability to speak from her vast experience in the trenches of life and business. Thank you CreativeLive Team and Tara Gentile for creating such a progressive and modern platform for the world to learn.
Packed with truly helpful info and lots of actionable steps, Tara delivers an amazing amount of value in this class! I'm in the early stages of business development and what I have learned here has shifted my focus, brought me greater clarity and a list of things to consider as I plan what, when and how I will deliver an exceptional experience to my clients. I have followed Tara's work from the beginning and she continues to outdo herself time and time again...she is a powerhouse of wisdom and experience, as well as a fun and easy to follow speaker! I highly recommend this class.
Very helpful in identifying clearly the goals you NEED to achieve.
Amazing class by Tara. What I loved about the class was clarity in my business with the big picture and vision (5 year goals) and then the breakdown into annual, quarterly and then daily goals and actions. After this class I walked away with tangible actions to take in my business immediately to move the needle!
I always thought I was a businessman...have been in business, sales and certainly believe in the power of profit...but have had a hard time creating a structure to support new, self supported business. The idea of the different kinds of growth was hugely helpful. The fact is, I can be several of them...and that was a big part of the confusion. Now it's much clearer and I have an anchor to root myself to.
Great class, jam-packed with actionable steps, and Tara takes you through each one with clear explanations and examples. I definitely feel well-equipped to set out clear goals and plans to make them happen. Highly recommend if you are looking for ways to "get out of the weeds"!
This class was great! I like that it broke out the process of setting goals that align with your big vision and values, and then laid out the game plan to make it all happen. I really enjoyed the part on growth styles. Great class! Highly recommend!
Excellent class and maybe the best online class I've ever taken. It's a great combination of practical and dream big and Tara's credible and funny. I can't wait to go back, listen again and dive deeper into the assignments. I'd recommend this class to anyone who wants to grow their business!
The class is wonderful. I love that one of the women I will be doing my work with can take it at the same time as me across the world from me. The class could not have been more timely. It has given me inspiration and a kick start of goal setting, which always drag my feet on putting in black and white. Tara 's relaxed style makes the pills easier to swallow.
Tara puts a jam packed class together every time. Some classes move a little slow and some much too fast. She includes everyone and speaks clearly and intelligible. Some instructors mumble, fumble and speak like they are being time compressed in Pro Tools. Tara can always be understood.
