Vickie loves business. She especially loves how small business can open up pathways for women to create their own destinies. As a self-employed mother of two, she shares in the thrills that come with being in business while making time to enjoy bringing up the kids.

She uses stories and anecdotes to present business information in a way that strips away the jargon and helps people realise business is nothing more than a great idea, hard work and the understanding of cash flow (oh, and all that other really important technical stuff too). She is enthusiastic about helping people realise they can achieve their dreams… whatever those dreams may be.
