VIP membership
Being a Viper means being part of a small, intimate group. Paula is a mentor who is personally invested in both you and your business. It is so lovely as you don't feel lost in a large, faceless group but instead are valued and encouraged by Paula and the other Vipers. The monthly zoom meetings are so helpful and the support given in these meetings is on a different level. If you want to get help to move your business forward without feeling like just another number then this is the group for you. Paula is straight talking and direct (like a close friend who isn't afraid to say what others wont) but, this is always done to help and to push you to reach the goals you want to achieve. I really enjoy being a Viper and have always felt very supported :)

The VIP Group: Expert Guidance & A Supportive Network
Joining the VIP group has been a game-changer for me as a small business owner. Starting out is daunting enough, but marketing is a whole other beast. The training inside the group breaks things down in a way that makes sense, helping you plan, stay accountable, and actually see progress. What makes it even better is the supportive community—you’re not just learning on your own; you’re surrounded by other creative business owners who understand the challenges and share their experiences. The sessions are packed with practical advice, and if you ever have questions, help is always on hand. If you want a place where you can grow your business with expert guidance and a welcoming network, I can’t recommend this group enough!

Business mentor
I was lucky enough to find Paula as a business mentor . Starting out as a small business owner is daunting enough, but when you start marketing, that is a beast of its own. There is alot to learn, the great thing that Paula does is get to know you and your business. Paula is very experienced in understanding the business market. She guides your through process and keeps you accountable so you build your business without feeling confused and lost. Paula is always there if you need any questions answered. I can only recommend Paula as a valuable mentor. The VIP group is very welcoming as you interegrate with other members of group. You have an extended family of crafter's!

VIP Training
"Paula's VIP training is truly money well spent. Her personal touch, willingness to listen, and constant support make all the difference. The community she fosters is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The training is put into words that you can understand and no question is ever considered silly—everything is met with patience and encouragement." You can also have a one to one when you talk about where you want your business to go and Paula explains what you need to do and how to get there.

Worth the investment
Deciding to be part of this group was an investment, but one of the best I have made to be honest. :) I have never taken as many notes as I have, since doing the workshops with Paula. With the courses ready to go, I listen to it as and when I want to. Sometimes I pop my headphones on while working and learn so much in the meantime. Even really simple things, that perhaps you feel you should know, but it being mentioned really helps understanding things. And having the 'aha' moments. I kept hearing over the years 'find your tribe' in other groups and never felt I did or understood what they meant, till I found this one. :) It's a very nice, helpful group. I've learned so much already and still am. :)

Brilliant course
This is a brilliant course if you are starting up a new business or a business who is looking for encouragement. Paula is a wonderful tutor and gives you good feedback. The monthly zoom calls are not to be missed as they are a networking time when you can share with each other and pick up valuable tips.

Such Great Value!
I love being part of the VIP group. Paula is the best craft business mentor because she's been there and done it all! And being part of a group of other people who have gone through the same training with Paula is great too - we all help each other, which I love.

VIP Training Group
Being part of this incredible community took me from being ‘Jack of All trades’ as I had so many different crafts that I thought I ‘enjoyed’ to being the ‘Master of One’ that I absolutely ‘love’. Now I am making my business around what I want to do, none of this would be possible if it wasn’t for the amazing support and encouragement of the VIPers and the incredible knowledge, experience and mentorship of Paula. Paula is there for you every step of the way, she takes you through at your pace, you’re never overwhelmed and you’re never just left sitting lurking either. I do Highly recommend joining the VIPers, it’s money well spent, great value for money and a great investment in yourself and your future.
