Many suns have risen and set since the inception of TAZZU™ back in 2006.

ACT I: Humble Beginnings

Being a business owner myself I empathized with other entrepreneurs wishing to run a successful business, and trying to generate leads for employment opportunities.

In 2004 I discovered the power of networking.

Attending networking breakfasts, and engaging in online communities and participating in events opened up a new world of opportunity and resource. One where I could contribute to, and receive from other business owners.

It was this awakening in 2006 that led me to create the Tazzu Networking Forums.

With the forum built, 21 invitations sent, and the support of 4 amazing moderators, a safe environment was created for the members to network, exchange ideas, and ultimately make connections that could grow their businesses.

It wasn’t long before we had a thriving & vibrant networking community!

Look at what arrived in the mailbox today! A copy of the book “Express Yourself!” a compilation of the top 30 winning stories from last year’s B.C. Kids Writing Contest!

In short: last June JenTekk received an email from the Ministry of Education inquiring about creating a website for an online kids writing contest they were sponsoring. The contest was to be a part of a province-wide celebration: the BC Library Association’s 100th Anniversary!

I jumped at the opportunity. Having designed BCLA’s Kids Summer Reading Club’s websites since 2006 – and enjoying it full tilt – I couldn’t resist!

As a token of their appreciation, the Ministry of Education they sent me this copy of the commemorative book.

Thank you to BCLA, Ministry of Education and Province of BC for this delightful token of your appreciation, and for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful celebration!

Taking on a project from an acquaintance who becomes a networking partner who becomes a friend who becomes a clients is always so exciting!

Mutual respect has already been established making the trust factor hurdle a non-issue. Additionally, knowing my client’s personality, priorities and passions make it easier when deciding the direction – look & feel, and tone – of the website.

Such was the case with Colleen Beland of 2nd Chance Debt Arbitration Service.

I met Colleen at a networking event back when she was working in another area of finance. I found her vibrant, smart, trustworthy and truly kind, we hit it off right away. Colleen had all the characteristics of someone I could trust as a friend, AND with my money. I hired her financial services without a second thought.

As she planned marketing her new company 2nd Chance, Colleen asked if I would be interested in assisting her with her online presence. Not only was I interested, I was honored!

We chose to use the very popular Joomla! CMS so that Colleen could manage the site herself. The project went exactly as I’d anticipated: with much enthusiasm, passion and appreciation from both sides.

Colleen, thanks again for the opportunity to assist you with your website! I know how passionate you are about helping people out of financial debt… everyone deserves a 2nd chance!

I wish you all the best my friend!
