September 2013 Issue 1 In This Issue: Client of the Month: Paula Parisotto
We’re excited to start our 2013 Fall business training courses this week! 81 entrepreneurs embark on making their business ideas a reality. Our September Client of the Month has words of wisdom for those of you starting out and growing up your business: “The journey may appear long and arduous but inch by inch it’s a cinch, yard by yard it’s not hard, and when you arrive on the other side, the side of achievement, boy does it feel grand!” Enjoy this issue of WEV Got News!

Client of the Month: Paula Parisotto
Our September Client of the Month, Paula Parisotto, enrolled in a Personal Development class that led her to discover (and eventually pursue!) her need for creativity, personality and an intrinsic passion for fashion. She enrolled in SET to develop a personal fashion-styling business, and adopted a new life motto that has landed her a number of editorial spreads: “Don’t live your life wishing. Live your life by doing!” Read more of her storyhere!
