VaNessa knows what she is doing. I met VaNessa on the “Irresistible Houseboat” last August and was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge and demeanor. Aside from that, VaNessa has a terrific blog that is well laid out with crucial and valuable information–from marketing to personal development–to anyone in the network marketing industry.

Vanessa is a true leader in the industry. Her blog is always full of informative, non-hypey posts that help everyone from the beginner to the advanced marketer. Her blog is one of the “go to” blogs I search out when I run into obstacles in my business. 5 stars all the way!
VaNessa came into my life a couple of months ago,when I was wondering where my path is going to take me,too many forks in the road,I had one session with VaNessa,and all those forks joined together to make one road.
Irealised VaNessa is here to help me not try and get me to join any of her ventures,she is a true professional,thank you VaNessa.

VaNessa brings tremendous value in everything she shares.
Love how clean and easy it is to navigate her site.
A must visit for anyone wanting to up their game in their business.
Now why did I miss you! Vanessa’s awesome and she’s been able to help so many people start out in this industry, especially online. She’s definitely a great friend and mentor to many and you will definitely find a lot of valuable information on her blog.
Take care and rock on!
Hey VaNessa, wanted to say that I like the clean look of your blog.
It has a nice look with great content. Nice job!

Vanessa and I have never met in person and yet I feel like I know her already. She is not spammy, pushy or too salesy. She provides valuable information and is interested in what you do as well. I find Vanessa’s blog valuable and consistent.
With all the nonsense that DOES go on online, I find Vanessa a breath of fresh air.
I am a recent visitor to Vanessa’s blog but have known her through various FB groups and she is always courteous and professional and a good leader to her team. Her blog is definitely one I would recommend and will return to – bright, clear and easy to navigate and packed full of value.
I am happy to say VaNessa is my friend & coach-she has pushed me outside of my comfort zone & she is always full of tons of great info!!!
It is always so nice to discover something that unexpectedly delivers so much more than you expect. As a newbie I just wanted to learn a little WordPress and after being referred to Vanessa’s blog, I was more than satisfied with the content. The content is so much more varied that I imagined it would be and it’s often free! When stuff is promoted, we know we can trust her and she always gives great bonuses. I love the personal touch and all of the communication. Great job, love your work.

Very nice looking, attractive and organized blog, no clutter. Looks pretty easy to find your way around. I think new people to IM would especially be helped by it. Keep up the great work and leadership VaNessa:)
Many seasoned bloggers have responded above, but I need to speak for the inexperienced and tentative newbie. Vanessa is approachable and speaks in a language I understand. She is professional and kind and makes one feel assured of being able to take small steps to success.
Vanessa does everything ” top notch” especially her blog. Which makes sense since she offers a product called ” wordpress express” which guides newbies , like myself, through the process of getting a blog up and running. Her blog does a wonderful job of delivering a mix of business, personal development , and personal stories that few people capture as well as Vanessa does.
I always look forward to her weekly posts and visit her site often to help me develop my skills as a blogger.
I first “met” VaNessa in September, when her WordPress Express tutorial product was offered through Success, Etc. I purchased her product, and became acquainted with her and her blog via that route, as she walked me through updating my own site to relaunch on the WordPress platform. I’d struggled for months on my own; her information took me from concept to practice in just a couple of days.
Her blog is great; a combination of newsy notes and news-filled information that holds the balance between the jottings of a friend and super guidance provided by a professional. Thanks, VaNessa, for being a wonderful voice in the online world!
Just started following VaNessa and just started my new Biz (see link above).
She is open, knowledgeable and accessible. I’ll be reading more!
I haven’t met Ms. Vanessa in person but by exchanging emails and chatting online I learned so many things from her. She’s my mentor and counselor in most aspects including personal and technical (wordpress, blogging, etc). What I love most about her is the way she sees life in a positive light. She’s always optimistic, very approachable, full of energy and knowledgeable. I also admire her for being a great mom and she shares parenting tips with based on her experiences.
Vanessa,

Great website! Keep up sharing your insights with the rest of the community!
Great website! thanks so much for all you do!
Vanessa was my first personal mentor when I came online about 6 months ago. She has a blog filled with awesome content and she always seems to be available to offer her personal attention.
Awesome blog! Love the content.
I am proud of VaNessa and the way she treats her clients. Her style is to be authentic and kind. You know what you get and where she’s coming from and she’s very patient with her “older” students.
Vanessa is a great teacher and a helpful coach.
It shows in everything she does and all the relationships she has built in the community.
I’m a big fan of her and her work!
Great blog. Chocked full of useful information.
I serve on the Board of Directors with VaNessa for a local non-profit, Leadership Clark County and she is passionate about her work, her family and her community and that shows in her blog. Her leadership is exceptional as she loves to help others succeed (and exceed) their goals.
VaNessa’s blog is as helpful and inspirational as she is. She has a powerful message and I truly enjoy reading each of her posts. Great job!
Vanessa’s blog is much like my experiences with Vanessa in person, inspired by passion and relentless desire to help anyone that has an interest in improving themselves, their company and their community. Thank you, Vanessa!
I have had the amazing opportunity to spend time with VaNessa and was personally impressed. Her skill set, knowledge, and coaching reaches well above the norm with branding, blogging, and social media for entrepreneurs. Her blend of professionalism and humor gives her a warm down-to-earth feeling attractive to anyone working with her.
I just connected with VaNessa and her awesome content this summer. Wow! She knows her stuff! Witty woman with a heart for serving people and a mind for excellence! Great blog!
VaNessa is one of those bloggers who just tells it like it is. There’s no sugar coating, fluffing of the pillows or pretending to be something she’s not. You get the straight scoop. The good the bad and the ugly of what it really takes to be a successful marketer. VaNessa has the passion to lead you past your comfort zone if your willing. Her brand of honesty and value driven ethics have been noted by many top marketers.

VaNessa: mission driven, creative, and imaginative only begin to describe her work!
I have know Vanessa for about a year, and have found her advice and leadership excellent. i trust in her in everything she tells me and have great respect for her..In fact if i knew Vanessa was in to something she is one of the people i would follow. Total respect
I have had the pleasure in working with VaNessa over the last year. She showed great leadership and mentoring skills and it has been a pleasure to learn from her. I always find VaNessa’s blog posts inspiring and also great valuable content. I always look forward to reading her post. Such an inspirational leader
I have known VaNessa for over 10 years and find her professionalism refreshing. She has always been dedicated helping others achieve their goals. She truly believes that anyone can be successful and accomplish their dreams. The only true hinder to that is not believing in yourself and or being willing to do the work necessary. I feel she is a great coach both with business and life. One who also practices what she preaches.
My first experience of VaNessa’s training was through a webinar for Jonathan Budd’s clients. Although not a newbie on the internet, I found her no-nonsense approach and knowledge valuable for the novice as well as experienced bloggers. I have since purchased her Worpress Express training and coaching and look forward to have her as a mentor and guide. Hope to have a mentoring session with you very soon! I love to be associated with people, like her, who is hard working and care for her students the way she does. Her assistance directly or via her blog would be an invaluable source of inspiration for me. Well done VaNessa!
VaNessa is one of the leaders in our industry…. not just because of what she does, but because of who she is! She is a wonderful blogger, but more to the point she is in this to help others become who they are to be as well. She has a great sense and approach to her coaching others and will really hoan in on what and where you need to focus to get where you want and need to be. VaNessa is a force in this industry to watch and follow and get to know… She is a great mom, friend and mentor… Easy to work with and an amazing coach!
Vanessa has played a valuable part in our life. When we first started our MLM business,we were struggling and did not know what to do. Then we attended one of her workshops. We actually learned something and were inspired. Later, we met with Vanessa one on one. She was the first one to actually believe in us and our vision of marketing the company. She guided us with a start of a plan – for now and long term. If it was not for her, we would have given up. Now we are actually pointed in the right direction. We still have a long way to go to our goal of reaching the top, but we are not just “wading” in the water, we are actually swimming. Thank you Vanessa!
Vanessa,
This was a very nice read. It was honest and heartfelt. People are only going to change if they themselves have the desire to do so. Do what you can, when you can and that is all anyone can ask of you! You have very valuable mentoring and leadership skills that should be used only for people that truly appreciate and can use them. Wishing you continued success!
Matt
Of course VaNessa is great! Why? She knows what she’s talking about, walks the talk, is dependable and flexible. She has been my coach for several months and is always helping by holding me accountable, giving me new ideas, and teaching me new techniques. On top of that, she is personable and polite in all her communications, and makes me feel like I am the most important student she has.
VaNessa leads by living the example. She is consistent, provides value without hype and is so encouraging of others. (Yes — you can do it! ) The world could use more positive uplifting people like VaNessa.
I’m lucky to have know Vanessa for several years now. Her energy and excitement about the things she loves and her willingness to help others help is contagious.
I am a new fan of Vanessa, just visited your blog for the first time. I can see you share a lot of value and look forward to learning more from you!
I’m also a new fan Vanessa and I have to commend you on your insight with the 1 thingproject.com .
You are an amazing person sharing your leadership and skills with the world.
Warm regards,

VaNessa trains her clients in such a way that is so easy to understand. I’m glad I met her and will continue to grow beside her.

Vanessa does things not because is the thing to do, but because is in her heart and generouly shares what is in her mind.not to show up but to empower her followers.
VaNessa brings tremendous value to everyone that she touches. Both her blog and her coaching style come from a heart-felt place. She means what she says, she is genuine and truly caring of others and it is displayed in her approach. She consistently reaches out to others and shares true value. Her “no nonsense” approach is both refreshing and thought-providing as well as providing much needed motivation to her students (like me). I truly appreciate the commitment that she makes to me and so many others that truly benefit from her knowledge and experience!! I find her blog to be an invaluable resource for growth.
Two words:
Great, and awesome!

Great blog, VaNessa!
Vanessa’s blog is clean, stylish, and professional. Vanessa shares her personal experiences and is an inspiration to everyone she connects. I remember her post about winning the boat trip with Mark Hoverson and I was so happy for her. Vanessa is a true coach and mentor.
VaNessa’s style of teaching is so patient that even those of us who are baby boomers actually can “get it” when she teaches. All seniors need a champion like her.

Her web site has much to offer and if you’re serious about taking your business to the next level Vanessa has much to offer.
VaNessa is great and wonderful coach and blogger. Her authenticity and passion comes through in all she does. The blog is easy to digest while have a quick cup of coffee. She knows her stuff.
