We all loved the program, there's no doubt about that
We've made some great friends and business contacts
With brand new ideas we can put into place
With a song in our hearts and a smile on our face
A great bunch of women, all wanting to learn
With a business to run and money to earn
We all came together thanks to ETC
Di, Jo, Julie, April, Gwen, Allanah and me
Looked after by our mentor, the fabulous Fiona
Warm and funny, a Butterfly House owner
How lucky we are to have this opportunity
To make our businesses the best that they can be
The workshop on finance was a slap in the face
The money we make, the money we waste
Profit and loss, taxation and more
To succeed in our business we must do this chore
The next one on planning, so important for growth
A mission and vision, you should really have both
Where will we head if we don't have a goal?
We must run our business with head, heart and soul!
Marketing next and this one is vital
If successful business owner you want for a title
Raising awareness of your product or service
Networking's a must, but you mustn't be nervous
The presenters were excellent, knowledgeable and skilled
Our growth they encouraged and our brains they filled
With tools we can use to secure our success
Whether selling candles or teaching how to dress
There's no better time than NOW to take action
And move our business forward and not just a fraction
We'll consider our business as not just a hobby
Ourselves we'll promote and our clients we'll lobby
So thank you to everyone from the bottom of our hearts
We've made a few changes, but this is the start
We've got off our arses and pulled out our thumbs
Watch out world, 'cause here we come!!!
