They said we were crazy to launch a small business consultancy in Vancouver when we had:
- No relationships
- No local track record
- No start-up capital
But, we weren’t worried. After all, it was autumn 2008:
- It was the middle of the greatest economic meltdown in 70 years
- The Olympics were coming and no one would take a cold meeting
- Our Founder and lead business developer was pregnant
The thing was – we saw it differently.
We wanted to get you the results you deserve. No matter what. Economic downturn was an opportunity to double down on your sales and marketing. A pregnant Founder? That means we understand women entrepreneurs. And the Olympics? Well, actually that was just a great reason to go to the hockey game…but I digress.
We focused on our clients and our families and we grew and we grew. We wouldn’t change a thing.
Except the [email protected] name! The legacy name from our origin in Toronto.
You called us “Mercy”.
You called us, “Mrs. I”.
You called us, “MSRI” (but we think that one was an honest mistake).
You even called us a drug resistant staff infection plaguing our hospital system, “MRSA”.
But no more.
3 Marketing Consultants, 2 Lawyers and 9 months later, welcome to Bellrock. Shiny new exterior, same inner core. We’d love to get your comments (you can now enter them down there. Just scroll down a bit.) We’d love for you to join us at our seminar this month, “20 Minutes a Day to the Best Management Team Ever”. But mostly we want to thank you, our friends, family, and five star subscribers for sticking with us through this change and supporting us in our mission to help business owners and leaders get the results they deserve.
Another chapter is beginning…stay tuned.
Love the new name and the site Tara!
Laura
Thanks Laura! Let the promo products orders commence!
Good name. Terrific site. But then I’m prejudiced.
Your opinion sounds completely objective to us.
Congratulations! I am excited for what lies ahead for you. I wish you tremendous success. PS. Love the name and the symbolism behind it.
Thanks for the good wishes Mark. We’re excited too!
Another prejudiced ” thumbs up” reply
Congratulations Tara! All the best to you!
Thanks Lorraine – it is a team effort. I’ll take all the complaints but they get most of the congrats.
Following your every word. Congrats–like the lighthouse analogy. A beacon to follow!
We love having fans – thanks Leslie!
Tara I take solace in knowing you are infinitely more attentive to your clients than I to your announcement. And more successful. Congratulations on your transition.
Better late than never! Thanks for the good wishes.
