Art of Preparation
“I am a student of GV in class 45 with only a few months in, I am very happy that I joined. The knowledge and the experience you gain is extremely helpful and it really gives you the opportunity to network and share successes and failures to help you along the way. You would not get this kind of information sitting at home trying to figure it out on your own. Worth every dime, I would recommend this program to anyone thinking of breaking free and moving on to do what YOU want to do. @artofpreparation”

"GV has taught me more in a short time than every business class, workshop or seminar I’ve ever taken. It addresses crucial aspects of every business and connects businesses to each other.”
Grow Vantage Graduate
“Having absolutely no background in business and knowing nothing either, Patricia has helped change that. A class designed to break down the barriers that hold some people back, and hopefully help students to not make the same mistakes others have. Thanks to Patricia and all of her speakers!”
