Jerina Vincent, CEO
“The Scale Higher program with WBDC has been a transformative journey for JNJ Gifts and More, equipping us with invaluable knowledge in Google My Business and analytics. Their enduring support and expert guidance not only enhanced our transition to an online business model, but also instilled a newfound confidence in our pitch, one that we proudly share with the world.”
Raiye Rosado - President, Rabid Brewing
“When I applied to attend ScaleHigher, things were looking grim for our business. The program was a safe place to take a step back and really examine the different facets of our business in a way we had not done before. I found the growth mindset to be one of my most valuable takeaways and have continued to schedule CEO time each week as we work on expanding to several new locations.”
Angel Rogers - Bella Reine Cosmetics, Inc
“Working with WBDC has been truly phenomenal. Since starting this cohort, I’ve been to obtain a better understanding of the dynamics of different tools and digital systems available to me and my business. This alone has definitely been a game changer. I’m excited for what’s ahead for Bella Reine Cosmetics come 2024 and beyond. Thank you all for your assistance and support!”
Natasha Varela - Self Led Wellness PLLC
“My name is Natasha Varela and my started solo-private practice, Self Led Wellness, PLLC; in March 2022. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor providing outpatient mental health services to children, adolescents, adults, and families. The WBDC has been a significant source of support during my business growth from nearly the beginning. I began with one-on-one advising that truly helped me in the way of truly seeing my solo-practice as my business, rather than simply my job. My advisor encouraged and supported me in going through the Scale Higher program that began in March 2023. This program helped me in identifying some of the continued ways I was holding back from fully embracing my solo-practice as a business. I learned to create "CEO time" for myself to focus on working "on" my business apart from "in" my business.
I learned more and gained a better understanding of business financials and cash flows, including completing projections and using this information for decision making aligned with business planning. And I definitely learned a TON about digital tools that I was not utilizing yet in my business. With support from all of the Scale Higher program staff and other participants, I gained confidence in myself as a solopreneur and business owner. I gained various tools that I will carry with me throughout the years ahead. And I continue to utilize the WBDC for ongoing one-on-one support from various staff who can help me with various aspects of my business. I truly appreciate the WBDC staff and Scale Higher program for joining me on my business journey. And am thankful to have received a scholarship at the end of the program to assist me with investing in digital tools to support the continued growth of my business.”

Chef Lori - Cakewalk Chicago
“Scale Higher was the accountability partner that I needed. Weekly time with the coaches and connecting with women entrepreneurs who understand the challenges and successes of solo entrepreneurship was right on time. Many programs coach you on what to do. Scale Higher takes it further by asking, listening, coaching, compiling then giving you an actual document of your time together so that you can take your ideas and what you learned and use it immediately. YOU don't have to spend time afterwards piecing the learning puzzle together. The staff does that time sucking work for you. It is truly a blessing to be able to turn to this personalized document to keep the positive forward momentum going. Because of Scale Higher I am mindful of scheduling 'CEO' time and using digital tools like Google Analytics and good web design to grow and improve. I am looking forward to the next opportunity to work with the WBDC.
Uzma Sharif - Chef/Owner Chocolat Uzma LLC
“My name is Uzma and I am the Chef and CEO of Chocolat Uzma in Chicago. I completed the ScaleHigher course in 2023. As a chef/CEO I divide my day between the kitchen and running my business. I found that the tools and knowledge I gained from ScaleHigher helped me simplify and free up some of my time. The mindset and digital tools gave me a new understanding and outlook on my business.”
Emilia Rizzuto - Owner, All Things Elderberry
“I learned so much about running a business and being a CEO. We covered helpful digital tools that I didn't even know existed. It's also great to have a group that's learning and growing together. We all talked about things we have tried and loved or hated along the way. Amazing networking opportunities as well. Glad I took the time to do this class.”
Laura Anderson - Owner, Creative Business Audio
“Laura Anderson, Creative Business Audio, Scale Higher 2023 graduate. This opportunity came to me at the right time. I am in the process of re-doing my webpage and adding more social media platforms, changing and adding SEO, creating videos and adding some google ads. I learned sooo much and it was great timing with the changes in Google analytics. I would advise any business owner to take the time to take this seminar. I will be using my graduation dollars towards video. This is an area that we have been lacking.”
Patricia Ahrens - Ahrens Contracting, Inc.
“I am Patricia Ahrens of Ahrens Contracting. I just completed the course May 2023. I am so glad I was selected for this cohort. I am very grateful to everyone at WBDC for the time that put into this program and Wells Fargo for the sponsorship of this program. I am in an industry that is different than most that are attending these training courses. This course narrowed down on what all businesses need, financial, marketing, goal setting and planning...and they want to follow up that we have achieved those goals.”
