I will continue to support VMS because it’s such a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to benefit in different ways no matter what stage of their business they're in. Having a group of experienced Mentors, with diverse expertise and experience, is truly a priceless gift. Helping fellow entrepreneurs feels extremely satisfying when you can actually make a difference with their business decisions. It's an absolute honour to be part of this community. At first, I thought being a VMS Mentor was about giving my time back to the business community with no expectation of anything in return. What I didn't realize was that being a VMS Mentor is like being a student all over again. This community of people has made me realize how much I can still learn despite having been an entrepreneur for over 25 years. Not only do I learn from the other Mentors in the program but I can’t say enough about the quality of the entrepreneurs.

Being involved with VMS has helped me better understand other aspects of business that I have not had to deal with in my own personal business journey. I've had the privilege of learning from conversations with the mentorship teams I work with, and have applied these lessons to my current business. This has resulted in positive, tangible results from simple changes. I get really excited to participate in these groups because mentoring others provides such a practical, hands-on alternative to learning that books and schools can’t teach you. The community of Mentors and entrepreneurs in VMS is such an incredible library of experience, knowledge and resources.
