Want to start or grow your business?
Trained facilitators will keep you on track to make sure your progress is aligned with your goals.
We meet every 2nd Wednesday of the month and feature successful women in business.
Bonnie is a serial entrepreneur and started her first business while working as a full time employee.
Her first venture, Kellco - a business providing a full spectrum of environmental and engineering services, started out simple and small when she started borrowing microscopes from friends and converted a room in her small house into a “laboratory”.
The company moved from Bonnie’s home to a small office. Each time a new job was created, Bonnie would do it first and establish the protocols before passing it along to someone else. http://www.kellco.com/
After taking a motorcycle training class and learning how badly the motorcycle schools were being run, she decided to establish a school and run it “professionally” and 2wheelsafety was born. Bonnie’s company is now the third largest provider of motorcycle training in California. http://2wheelsafety.com/
Turning 65 was a mile stone in Bonnie’s life. She went through her list of “to do” things and removed everything she didn’t care about anymore. But there was one item nagging at her: Since age 12 she’d been looking for a tool to repair her knitting work and so she invented one and took it to market as "Fix-A-Stitch". In 2014 her method for repairing stitches was awarded a U.S. Patent. http://fixastitch.com/
