TESTIMONIALS

Don't just take our word for it

 While attending a charter school with no cafeteria and wanting to earn extra money, I joined in the IndyExcel program that helped me to start my own business by selling candy and snacks to my peers. I went from getting a $20 loan to buy my first supplies to making $500 per week, and I am still growing my business.

This program taught me how to turn a side hustle into a business. Creating my own income also means that I don't have to stress my parents. And in some cases I can also help my family's finances. I think every young person should take this program and learn how to make wealth early in life.

 We approached Dr. Lindsey when our business struggled to generate new clients also to help grow our business. We've been in her program for roughly about two years now. Dawn has been very instrumental in the success of C&A contracting.

She's helped us in regards to diversifying our offerings. She's helped us with our bookkeeping, our accounting. She's helped us in regards to getting our crews trained and certified in a completely different industry than we originally started in. We've had a huge success. We've won multiple contracts and awards.

In general, our revenue has grown from 25,000 to $8 million in this program. If you're looking to grow your business, if you're looking to learn I highly recommend this program. If we could do it all over again, we would. And we're gonna continue to be with Dawn until she kicks us out, personally.

Dawn's a great person. You're gonna learn a lot from her. You're gonna be very successful if you're willing to learn.

We approached Dr Lindsey for help when we started losing some of our major government contracts and faced the possibility of closing down our business. We have been in this program for a year now and have been taught how to pivot and explore opportunities differently. This resulted in us securing a new client through this program, who initially started with us at two facilities and is now awarding us a total of 28 facilities on a five-year contract.  

We recommend this program to all entrepreneurs.
