Nicole Clark, founder of KISStrategies for Business Inc., is a small business trainer and consultant whose passion is working with entrepreneurs to create the business of their dreams through implementing sound business plans and marketing strategies, shifting habits and routines, replacing limiting beliefs with empowering beliefs.
Nicole has worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs over the past 30+ years. Her focus is to simplify the entrepreneurial journey for Canadians looking to launch or expand a small business. She does this by teaching small business owners how to create a viable business concept and formulate a business plan that not only provides the path to follow but can also be taken to a lender or investor to raise any necessary capital. She does this in groups, through live workshops, one-on-one with clients, and online with her ProfitRx Business Development Program.
In 2015, Nicole was delighted to be awarded a contract with Community Futures to collaborate with them on the delivery of WorkBC's Self-Employment Program to entrepreneurs on EI, with disabilities, or with other barriers to employment. This has been extended for a third year and is an extremely fulfilling part of her business.
In the past 2 years, she has guided over 125 entrepreneurs in the small communities of British Columbia's South Okanagan through a successful launch of their business plan. It thrills her to participate in the 'aha' moments as her clients embark on their entrepreneurial journey. Over 90% of her clients are still in business. Her successful results with her clients led to nominations in four different categories for the Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards in both 2016 and 2017.
Nicole lives in Penticton, BC with her husband Don. Transplants from the Vancouver area, they thoroughly enjoy the beautiful Okanagan Valley and its fantastic climate. Nicole is President of Penticton Women in Business, an inaugural member of South Okanagan 100 Women Who Care, and an honorary member of JCI Penticton.
