WHAT ROTORUA INCUBATE PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Karin Vincent – The Rogue Stage
For me Incubate was a chance to meet like-minded business people in Rotorua, focused on growing Rotorua in a positive way. It helped me to gain knowledge of business procedures and to challenge myself in an unfamiliar setting.
The main things I got out of Incubate was learning how to set goals for myself and work out a strategy to accomplish them. It really did grow my skills set.
Due to Incubate I am more organised and lay out steps to achieve my goal. I think about perception more and I value my work differently.
Claire Plaisted – Plaisted Publishing Limited
I applied for the Incubate programme as I wanted know where I am going with my business and how to get there.
The best part of Incubate was meeting other new and young businesses in Rotorua as well as learning how to run a business from a business point of view.
Incubate really helped me. Due to the programme I updated my marketing skills to implement and gain more clients. It was also beneficial in helping me price my services within the marketplace.
Sarah Seerden – SarSee
Local upcoming Fashion Designer Sarah Seerden encourages other fledging business owners to go through the Incubate programme.
Incubate was so helpful to me and really helped develop my fashion design label and business. Having support when I needed it and meeting new people who are running their own business was really beneficial.
It’s a great programme and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to start their own business.
Hoani Kake a.k.a HAZADUZ
Incubate has changed the way I look at things. It encouraged me to concentrate on my business as full time work as opposed to a hobby, applying many of the different strategies I picked up from the coaching sessions.
Being surrounded by experienced business people and mentors was the most beneficial part of the programme. It exposed me to a range of people from different industries who I could call on for advice.
I thoroughly enjoyed Incubate. It really helped me understand what I needed to do to advance my business.
