Our guests comments on our Launch Party "Rising of the Phoenix"

When you take an idea and create a vision, you have no expectations. Why? Because when the moment arrives it is never what you expected! We set out to send a message to those looking to reinvent themselves and take action as others have done. We set out to make a difference! Thanks to you we have done just that! This is just the beginning!

"Rising of the Phoenix in my opinion was more than a success. It was exactly what I needed to get me where I need to go. U are a blest soul and u r truly doing what you were put here to do. I would definitely advice everyone to go to the next one u will not regret it u go girl”

"We owe you money. This event was worth more than twenty dollars"

"I wanted to congratulate you on the wonderful event last evening! I met some very interesting people and really enjoyed the panel's discussion. It was great seeing you again. Keep up the great energy and good luck in everything you do!

"Maritza, thank you for a wonderful event this evening. At the start of the evening the moderator asked what everyone hoped to gain by attending. I was looking for inspiration and I believe I got that. Each participant had some wonderful insights including doing a personality assessment to seeing if entrepreneurship is right for you, being authentic when asking for help, seeking the advice of a mentor and recognizing that you will make mistakes in your journey."

"Maritza, congratulations on a very successful first event from Tiempo Management. Your supreme networking skills and passion for helping others has been evident since I've known you, almost 3 years now. You have greatly reinvented yourself!"

"Lately I have been very scared and angry about my situation and after almost 2 years of looking for a solid job with a salary and benefits, I’m just t beginning to realize that my work life has permanently changed. I'm just realizing in June 2011, that the things I committed myself to such as selling ads for the children's apparel website and my own marketing projects with publishing contacts are not just things I'm doing to bridge the gap until I get a real job, they have become my real job, so I have to make the most of those opportunities. Hearing everyone's stories on the panel - which were very different, confirmed my thinking."

"I agree that it was a great event and I'm glad that I was a part of it. Very inspiring!"

"Loved the moderator, he was funny and kept it moving. The discussion was good, but I thought it was very much geared towards entrepreneurs. And while I feel that everyone should have at least two gigs, jobs, ways of generating personal revenue, there are many people who are not interested in or cut out for that. I would have liked to have heard more from Brian Gillard on his experience reinventing himself to transfer his skills into a different industry, which many people are trying to do.

“Eric Barron’s comment: “From your failures you find your flaws, from your flaws you find a better you, and from you a better company” was really profound”

"Daye Simpson was an inspiration, she had great energy and kept the audience engaged"
