“The training was the best gift to my business. It motivated me; it gave me the resources I needed – and those I didn’t know even existed! The atmosphere was kind, compassionate, and productive.”
“The MBF Business Training is essential to any executive that is serious about becoming and remaining viable.”
“As a new business owner in a very competitive market, the small business training has given us the confidence to become business owners rather than employees.”
