PAUL SUAREZ- Dry-Maax Carpet Care
"When the pandemic caused a nationwide shutdown, I lost my full-time job. A friend recommended Building Your Future in Self-Employment. I purchased it and read it cover to cover. Ginny emphasized that a key to small business success is to find an unmet need and fill it. Based on my strong computer skills and love for young children - plus research on my target market and competition - I started a distance learning tutoring service for children 12 and under..Thank you, Ginny, for your awesome help!

This book helps students develop a realistic business plan. The material is presented in a logical, well-thought-out manner.
A local banker commented that our students’ business plans are better prepared than over 95% of all proposals submitted to the bank. I highly recommend this book to any educational institution that is preparing its students for a career as a small business owner.
-WILLIS VERMILYA, Business Teacher, BOCES, Binghamton, NY
Ginny provided valuable help when I first started my business Whole Health Nutrition Center (WHNC) nine years ago.
One of the most important aspects of starting a new business is to decide how much money to spend on advertisement and where to spend it. She helped me develop a plan that worked and created momentum for my business. I was able to begin generating new clients relatively quickly. Nine years later, WHNC is still going strong. Contact Ginny. You won't be disappointed.
