Working with Willo is a dream come true and I’ll tell you why. You talk, you sputter, you spew ideas, wave your hands around as you imagine how things could be – your classroom, your project, whatever you’re dreaming up. And there’s Willo  sitting there smiling at you, nodding her head, enjoying every minute of this.”I don’t know if it’s possible,” you wail, “I mean, I just don’t know what I’m doing!”   “We got this, ” she assures you. “No problem,” she smiles. And she means it. She’s got it – girl knows what she’s doing! And you my friend are in good hands. I don’t even know half the things she’s capable of, all I know is that I will never take on a creative project that interfaces with technology without Willo. She has so many resources in that little brain of hers, has such a huge knowledge of what’s going on on the internet. You should see the way her fingers fly around a keyboard. And her brain – it’s on fire as she thinks about what will make your project incredible.  And she never settles for good enough – she’s there to make it sensational – which is exactly the kind of person you want in your corner, right?  Hands down, Willo every time. Kindness meets ability meets integrity meets smarts and talent. Do not, I repeat, do not take on a project without her!   – Laurie Wagner, writer, teacher and hostess of the 27 Powers Traveling Writers Series   ——————————————————————————————————-   This social media practice is definitely starting to sink in! I have this tiny Willo that sits on my shoulders now as I type and asks, “How do I add value? How am I bringing ppl back full circle to my business?”   -Leslie Yang Owner & Designer feistyelle www.feistyelle.com     ——————————————————————————————————-     One of the qualities that Willo offered me was her deep reservoir of excitement. While she empathized with my business dilemmas, she brought a level of excitement around my loss of objectivity that was just infectious. She made me believe that feeling overwhelmed was a secret blessing. Now that’s a great weapon in the war on self pity.   Thank you Willo for seeing around corners and making magic!   Nicky Ruxton- Owner Ruxton Designs -Unconventional Jewelry www.ruxtondesigns.com   ——————————————————————————————————-   “How am I?

Karrie Myers Taylor Head Video Editor, Videokard I am a true renaissance woman; I have lots of interests and I often turn those interests into businesses.  But, the hardest part of my job is remembering I’m a human being and not a machine.  That’s why I need Willo. As a longtime, freelance businessperson herself, Willo has a deep understanding of the struggles I face to make sure self-care is also a part of my daily agenda.  She has tackled this beast herself.  I am happy to vent, but at the end of that conversation, I want guidelines and direction of where to go next.  Willo offers insight and nurturing, but also verbal and written guides that really work.  And she makes the whole thing light, fun and introspective, instead of like an hour in a therapy session. After working with Willo, I was able to structure the way I work and how much time I work in a completely different way, ensuring I don’t burn out or resent turning my creative skills into a business.  We worked together to understand the psychology of why I work the way I do, and she helped me understand that spending a few hours hiking alone were just as beneficial to my business as taking on another client task.   I would recommend Willo over and over again, not just to a businesswoman or entrepreneur, but also to someone who is switching careers or overall gears in their life.  She has the caring instinct to guide you through your most overwhelming plateaus, but also the business background and no-nonsense skills to get you back on course.  She’s not just a personal cheerleader; she’s an innovator and a re-invigorator.  I wish every girl was born with a personal Willo!  Success would come so much faster! —————————————————————————————————— Holly McNamara Founder, Sidekick Ops

I’ve found that I have increased productivity, responsibility, efficiency and clearer vision of my future long and short term goals as a result of working with Willo. Willo has the perfect balance of strength, sternness and kindness. She challenges you to think from a different perspective and gives a new, refreshing angle and approach to problems & solutions. If you’re in a rut, Willo will help you get out and move forward with motivation and energy! I was stuck in a mental rut for weeks. Starting was the hardest part for me and I am typically crippled by details. Willo lit a fire under me (not literally of course ;) and within 8 hours I had everything that I was wanting to have written out and organized in one place. It was a huge breakthrough and kick start to starting my business! Willo is loyal, trustworthy, caring, strong, and she has tremendous experience to pull from and can relate to most situations with ease. She has been there and she can successfully apply her experience and knowledge to help others. I knew Willo was awesome the second I met her!
