REFLECTIONS ON GABRIELE AS A BUSINESS COACH
"Working with Gabriele was an absolute game-changer for me. Her continuous support and expert guidance not only helped me craft a solid business plan but also gave me the confidence to navigate every step of the journey. Being a person with an idea but without the map, I owe a huge part of my success to her mentorship, that had positive impact on my future ideas as well. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gabriele to anyone embarking on their entrepreneurial path."
- ABUZAR of YUMMY OUTDOOR"I was constantly running in all directions at once in my business, staying "busy" but not producing much. That has completely changed. I would not be where I am today or have the confidence for where my future is heading without my time working with Gabriele. She listens and seeks to understand not only my unique business, but also my strengths and weaknesses as a creative entrepreneur. She offers clarity, wise counsel, strategy, and kind support as I work through the growing pains of my fledgling business. And all of this is wrapped in genuine excitement, good humor, and tireless perseverance towards constant improvement.
- LUKE of GRIBLEY PERMACULTURE“We are so grateful for the guidance we are receiving. We are feeling so positive about the future we are planning and with Gabriele's help have a step by step, manageable way to begin to navigate the changes we have been dreaming of for years. Thank you so very much for making this possible.”
- ANNIE & JEFF of THE NATURAL GARDENERS“As most farmer's are used to the laborious, and satisfying work the job entails, we often struggle with the business side of things. I was struggling with the confidence needed to grow and expand my business. Luckily, Gabriele stepped into my life as an incredibly positive force when I needed it the most. The most valuable thing she gave me was confidence. Confidence to think big, to plan, to adjust when things did not go just right, and to boldly share my story to build loyalty and friendships with my clients.
Gabriele's mentorship, and now friendship was, and continues to be a catalyst. Sure, mentees need help with budgeting, spreadsheets, and all the other, dare I say, boring aspects of running a business, but what I adore about Gabriele is that she freely gives the inspiration with her exuberantly positive mantra to see the bigger picture. Gabriele is authentic, smart, and full of energy. The perfect characteristics to help business owners reach their full potential.”
- ABIGAIL of BLOOM WNC“We are so grateful that you are coaching us… you have an amazing wealth of knowledge and a great fit for my business. Your manual is a treasure.”
- NATALIE of MYCO RHYZING“Gabriele is an absolutely amazing person and a godsend to every farmer and small business owner in this area. She has helped us setup and organize all of our food safety and organic certification logs, as well as assisting in creating a balance sheet, P n L, income statement, and other financial documents. Most farmers, myself included, are pretty good at growing food, but tend to shy away from the business side, especially paperwork. This is why having someone like Gabriele is so advantageous to farmers in this area. Couldn't be more grateful!”
- RAND of GREENSHINE FARMS“Gabriele has the experience that really helps when it comes to owning a farm, it really makes a difference. I am always looking forward to meeting with her, she is helping me so much. I am feeling really confident and excited about how much my business is going to change and improve! She is GREAT!! Thank you so much! You make all of this fun!!”
- BRITT of WILLOW CREEK NURSERY"Thank you for your time today and your incredible passion for sharing your knowledge and farming experience. Finally, I feel as though I can move forward in building our farm business with a solid understanding of how to make the financial reports work for us! Your ability to easily and thoroughly explain these financials in the farming context is immeasurably valuable. I only wish I met you sooner!"
- SAMANTHA of FLATROCK FARMSTEAD "I attended a financial “Grow your Numbers” workshop with Gabriele. The information and resources she provided were incredibly helpful, relevant, and practical for running and growing my farm business. I don’t have a background in business or accounting and have only been farming for a few years, but the information she shared was very easy for me to understand and apply to my business. I found it very helpful that she has a farming background and I appreciate her taking extra time to answer all of my questions. I can’t wait to dive into the financial templates that she provided to help me plan for next year and get closer to meeting my farming goals!"
- EMILY of REFUGE FARM"Gabriele is a skilled, knowledgeable and creative coach and we really value the work we are doing with her and hope to continue!"
- SHARON of BLACK THORN FARM & KITCHEN "You have been extremely helpful to me. Before we started talking I felt like I was floundering all the time. Now I only feel that way some of the time. But I have a much clearer vision for the future of the farm than I did before. You have been a great mentor to me!"
- ROBERT of MT GILEAD FARM "Gabriele is an angel! What an invaluable resource for building my business. I'm not sure I could have done it without her!"
