“When I first applied to do the MentorNet program, I was still working part time as an employee and after speaking to Stella (MentorNet’s Program Manager) about the program, I felt inspired enough to resign from my job and work on the business full-time.” “That was a huge leap for me because working part time was my security blanket. It was holding me back, I guess. If I had not participated in the program, it makes me wonder where I’d be now… six months down the track. I live and breathe what I’ve been learning. I just haven’t written it down yet. What a challenge. It’s wonderful being able to share my business the mentor and the other mentorees in my pod and it just helped keep me on track. I’ve certainly increased my confidence and become very inspired by everything I’ve learned. Like I said, I really wonder where I’d be now had I not participated in the program.” — Tracee Shifferle, Pet Carers
