The Brantford-Brant Business Resource Enterprise Centre held their annual Bridges to Better Business event on Thursday, October 26th at the Brantford Golf and Country Club. Serial Entrepreneur, Patti Pokorchak, spoke to a room of nearly 70 participants about how to “Turn Your Passion into Profit.”
Patti, the author of “The Accidental Farmer,” provided the group of small business owners and entrepreneurs entertaining stories of her many ventures and shared real-life examples, knowledge, tips and strategies--all with the focus around passion and going after your dreams and increasing your profits. Patti’s enthusiastic presentation style and humorous props gave attendees practical advice about planning, selling, marketing, networking, and, ultimately, getting results for their own businesses.
Participants were encouraged to interact as they broke off into many group activities. And so, everyone to put their learnings immediately into practice. Many of the attendees commented on how inspiring Patti’s stories were and how they enjoyed the many aspects of networking with fellow entrepreneurs and business owners.
One attendee commented, “The most valuable takeaway for me was the energy and buzz of being with a room full of likeminded excited people. I could feel the energy all over and it was electric.” Another said, “I met some really great connections and really got a lot out of the day.”
Patti’s book is available for purchase on amazon.ca.
The BRC holds similar events twice a year, with the next event being held in March 2018.
