Connecting w/ Monica Seidl- Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Council of Governments

The Cowlitz-Wahkiakum Council of Governments is often called "The COG" but what Monica Seidl REALLY wants you to think of this organization as is the "Center of Giving"- because thats what they do- funnel money into small business start-ups in our area and provide resources for our business owners.

In this episode we go over The COG's--

Tool Kits

ACTION Classes

Business Coaching

Vendor Workshops

Basically, if you've ever thought about owning a business, THIS is the episode to watch.

But as with most of our guests, Monica's passions don't end at work. You'll want to stick around for the second half of the episode to hear the wild story of the birth of Monica's Non- Profit, Belize Blessings.

When the government of Belize gifts you multiple buildings to build out your non-profit you KNOW you're doing something right.

Monica is a force for our small business community and her small town in Belize.

We promise you'll leave this episode feeling inspired!
