“As a start-up entrepreneur, so much came my way,”<\/strong> Yvette Drenth explains, recounting the beginning of her venture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’d never started a business before and didn’t have many other entrepreneurs around me,” says Yvette Drenth of Fresh Finds. Through her company, she helps freelancers and SMEs with online marketing. “I was full of questions like, ‘Which networks in my area are valuable?’ and ‘Are other entrepreneurs even waiting for me?’ Fortunately, I met Lizanne Jakobs from Brilliant Work, and she was able to offer me the support I was looking for.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coaching is a ‘helping hand’<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“It was a big challenge for me to grow in my own confidence as an entrepreneur,” Yvette explains. “Also, to make steps forward with a clear plan. I wanted to use the coaching I could receive with a subsidy as a ‘helping hand’. When you’re a start-up entrepreneur, everything is new, and it’s incredibly helpful to be able to brainstorm with someone about it.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yvette could turn to Lizanne for all her questions regarding marketing, sales, and expanding her network. “Lizanne also asked the right questions \u2013 sometimes tough ones \u2013 to steer my company in the right direction. We started by clarifying and making my offering concrete. We also jointly established my short-term and long-term goals. A lot of time was also spent on eliminating my own doubts and fostering my self-confidence as a brand-new entrepreneur.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assignments to work towards your goals<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Business coach Lizanne doesn’t just stick to talking. She gave Yvette various tasks and homework assignments. This allowed Yvette to work towards her goals in areas such as marketing, sales techniques, networking events, and developing her plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of Lizanne’s coaching has had a significant impact<\/strong> on Yvette. “I’ve grown enormously as a person and a new entrepreneur in a short time. I’m now a completely different entrepreneur than I was when I stepped in for the first session with Lizanne. I’m more confident, work more purposefully, and have seen my turnover grow<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘My Company Wouldn’t Have Gotten This Far Without Coaching’<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yvette is incredibly grateful to Lizanne for her support and excellent coaching. “Without this programme, Fresh Finds really wouldn’t be where it is today as a company,” Yvette explains. “There’s no doubt that this programme, besides the great support, also saved me a lot of time in growing my business. Lizanne has the right knowledge to help you move forward, perfectly suited to your situation and company, but also as a person.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By jointly setting focused goals and her approach of also acting as a ‘soft yet strict’ taskmaster, significant leaps forward have been made,” Yvette explains. “I would recommend this programme to every start-up, regardless of the industry you work in. Thanks, Lizanne!” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
