“I joined GroYourBiz in 2012 with the goal to grow my business into a multi-million dollar international business. I’m very clear about the strong role GroYourBiz has played in moving my company forward. With the help of my Board, I now have grown each year over 50% and our company is now exporting into the U.S., Hong-Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.”
