Why Project Momentum Matters: An Entrepreneur’s Perspective
For some business owners, Project Momentum isn’t just a helpful resource—it’s a turning point.
Lana Marsland, owner of LVM Branding, joined the program at a pivotal moment in her business journey.
“When I first saw the invitation to Project Momentum, I was at a turning point. I had recently left my job to pursue my business full-time, but I was struggling to find clients, build consistent systems, and create real momentum. Reading about the program felt like a lifeline. Not just another resource, but a deeply personalized opportunity to grow with support from professionals who care.”
Through coaching, accountability, and strategic planning, Lana found a new level of clarity. Support from experts and the Project Momentum team helped her shift her mindset, strengthen her systems, and land real client opportunities.
