I’d like to give a massive thank you to the gorgeous Petina Tieman for her dedicated support – thanks for believing in me Petina – I fully appreciate you & your truly amazing staff.

Michelle

Her expertise in launching successful businesses [of her own and a myriad of countless start-ups] is evident when you’re in a mentoring session with her.

She has an incredible ability to look beyond the limitations her clients have placed on themselves, thus allowing her mentees [like myself] to truly witness the potential of what is ahead and capable of achieving.

 I leave each meeting I have with Petina with a more broader understanding of the business world, higher belief in myself and a practical list of to-do items and homework to complete that aid me in getting to the next [BIG-OUT-OF-MY-COMFORT-LEVEL] step.

 I have already generated positive results with my productivity, my community connections [Petina is very focused on community and connecting her clients with the people who matter’], my awareness regarding business structure & my understanding of business finance; but most importantly she saw the issues I would find myself overwhelmed by and highlighted a route of solutions for me to follow and pursue on my path to success.

 I’ve enlisted in a couple of mentors over the last few years, but not one of them has supercharged my momentum in the way that Petina’s straight shooting mentorship and guidance has.

 It’s a deadly combo – if you combine Petina’s mentorship, the ultimate productivity environment she has created with iiHub plus the services she offers with Complete Business Solutions you’re on the right path to seeing your business [and you!] live up to its potential.

We would like to add our support to Petina Tiemans’ application for financial support in subsidising the costs to business startups and entrepreneurs located in Far North Queensland.

 As a startup business in Brisbane, we were successful in receiving an Advance Queensland grant that accelerated our company growth. We have had the fortune to work with Petina in the past, and her passion for breaking down geographical and social barriers for business owners outshines the accolades she has received as a community business leader and National Indigenous Business Woman of the Year.

 We are proud to support Petina in her endeavors to increase the success and longevity of small businesses in rural and remote areas. Funding provisions will ensure Petina’s empowering business training and support will continue to provide the solid foundation to launching many more successful local and Indigenous business owners in the future.

I highly, and hand-on-heart, recommend anyone and everyone who is seeking a business mentor to book in with Petina Tieman.

 I had spent the last three years working hard at getting my start-up off the ground to operate as a profitable business, yet I was still generating results that were more indicative of a small side hustle or hobby.

 I knew I had MORE in me to grow my business and generate far more success, yet I lacked the experience and industry intel to know what steps to take next.

 

I found myself overwhelmed, directionless and ready to throw it all in the bin – I knew I needed a no-fluff mentor who would guide me to make big, bold moves and take action.

It has been amazing getting to spend time with Petina and hearing her story and how she become so driven.

 The support and encouragement she gives is really appreciated.

 Thank you x

I write this letter in support of Petina’s new collaborative venture, INNOVATE — Entrepreneur & Professional Services Hub, hosted by Complete Business Solutions (QLD) Pty Ltd. The opportunity she has created for startups and entrepreneurs to regularly collaborate with various networks, mentors, professional services consultants and low cost high tech workshop facilities under one roof, will significantly contribute to the success of the Far North Queensland startup ecosystem.

Petina is highly respected within the Northern Territory Innovation/Startup/entrepreneur ecosystem, in particular for her ability to get results by identifying and breaking down barriers to improve communication and collaboration.

 I commend Petina for her initiative, drive and vision and her ability to empower people to develop sustainable businesses. I look forward to working with Petina and her team in future programs in the Northern Territory and abroad.
