MINT Business Club

I posted a review of MINT Business Club 7 years ago! I am still a member, so what does that say? It indicates that it’s a great community for small business owners; offering great, current training sessions, wonderful support when you need it, and a community of like-minded business people. I joined the original Savvy Solos Business Club and, over the years, have learned so much, gained confidence and self-belief, and am hugely grateful to Nicola and now Liza and many fellow members who share their ideas and expertise. Not only do you find work colleagues in the Club but friends. Working freelance can be a lonely business, but not if you are a member of the MINT Business Club! There are always events going on and support when you need it. I highly recommend joining for support, networking, learning and much more.

This will be my third year as part of MINT Business Club and I can honestly say that it's been a game changer for me. The training, the weekly accountability sessions, the community - they've all been key in helping me take my business further than I have before. Liza's warm and knowledgeable support, as well as a cracking group of other small business owners with a wealth of experience and ideas, mean I leave each session with a ton of actionable tasks and solutions to any problems I've been having. If you're a small business owner, come along and invest in yourself and your business.

I've has the pleasure of being a member of the Mint Business Club (formally Savvy Solos Business Club) since it began. It's a wonderful organisation, full of positive people who work together, undertake training, help promote each other’s businesses & it’s been lovely to be part of this and watch it grow to what it is today. We trade with each other; we share ideas and there is always someone with the answers we need. There is such a diverse range of skills within the group which is a great advantage to us all and thank you Nicola Jayne Little for providing us with this huge group of ‘workmates’.

I just love being a member of the Mint Business Club. I have gained so much knowledge, confidence self belief and so many colleagues and wonderful friendships. It can be very lonely being a solo business owner but I don't feel alone any more. Nicola and her team are so approachable, caring and nurturing and really want the best for you and your business. There it so much support, amazing training we wouldn't have access to or be able to afford and genuine passion and care in this group. I have made so many connections, my sales have improved massively through the members and referrals and I even have signed up a number Minty stockists this year. This club is something incredibly special and unique. Highly recommend it. Thank you so much Nicola and team x

I attended a Digital training course run by Nicola in July, after taking a break from my business I needed a kick start. It was just what I needed. Nicola's passion for what she does comes across in all aspects of her training. I went from the occasional sale to 5 wholesale customers in 6 weeks. She really made me think about what I wanted to get out of my business and helped me work out how to achieve it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Digital Sparkles to anyone and look forward to working with Nicola again in the future.

I have had the pleasure of taking part in 2 of Digital Sparklers courses and I have gained an immense amount of confidence in my skills because of Nicola. Her style of delivery is confident yet personable and always knows each level of every learner and tailors the class and individuals pace. I wouldn’t hesitate to, and have, recommend Digital Sparkles to others looking to gain knowledge and skills. I have already booked for more courses and will be opening this up in my business to include employees and volunteers. I highly value Nicola’s service and delivery and the knowledge she’s given me will defiantly improve my business.

Nicola epitomizes MINT. She has endless amounts of energy and enthusiasm that she spreads throughout the club. She is a motivator and keeps us all accountable which is exactly what I need for my business. Nicola has excellent presentation skills - I have just finished her LinkedIn training which has bite sized videos which you can follow at your own pace & was just what I needed to improve my profile and expand my network. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Nicola and the MINT business club.

I have worked with Nicola over the last two years after meeting her on the Business Northumberland digital marketing courses. I was so impressed with her enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism that since the start of 2017 we have been working together on a 1 to 1 monthly mentoring basis. The impact she has had on our business growth is massive - our turnover was up over 25% last year. Having Nicola offering advice on all things social and helping set and support us to achieve business goals has been invaluable. I plan to continue working with Nicola and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for help in the ever changing digital world.
