V\u00e9ronique recently participated in Rock My Business Plan<\/strong><\/a>, a Foundation for an Entrepreneurial Canada program supported by RBC Future Launch<\/a>. She has described this step in her career as \u201can enriching human experience and a stimulating business experience.\u201d<\/p>\n V\u00e9ronique was motivated to register for the Rock My Business Plan\u00a0workshops by her need to better understand her competitors and to assess her value proposition. She also hoped that this training would help her start implementing her business plan on a solid foundation. She admits that this was difficult for her.<\/p>\n Rock My\u00a0Business Plan is distinguished from other training programs by its experiential methodology. The training aims to help participants advance their business projects through the sharing of each participant\u2019s experiences. Sharing and mutual assistance of the participants are the pillars of this approach, which V\u00e9ronique greatly appreciated:<\/p>\n \u201cOn the professional level, networking with all these people who have amazing cross-disciplinary skills enabled me to think about my marketing strategy (\u2026) My main observation: networking is crucial. It allows us to meet people who share our daily life, our fears and our hopes. Moreover, it\u2019s natural for people to help each other and we find ourselves building, without realizing it, a powerful network of contacts and mutual support.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, V\u00e9ronique found that being with the other entrepreneurs was very inspiring:<\/p>\n \u201cIt was extremely enriching to meet with other people, other entrepreneurs, people who dream and dare, people who have created a unique idea and single-handedly carried it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Among the benefits she drew from the experience, V\u00e9ronique notes having thereafter focused on business development. In 2018, she hopes to withdraw from operations so that she can seek out new clients for her company. She also assigned herself the task of completing her business plan. To do so, she restructured her schedule and gave herself concrete means to succeed.<\/p>\n And succeed she will because V\u00e9ronique Dumont is a true entrepreneur. She possesses the abundant energy a businesswoman who achieves positive results. The highly conservative construction industry will be shaken up by this woman who will change the norms. V\u00e9ronique Dumont has a very promising future as an entrepreneur!<\/p>\n
