Every entrepreneur has a story, and some of the most valuable lessons come from hearing how others have navigated the realities of building a business.
Join Business Link Abdalla Mohamed for an engaging conversation with Sheila Willis, the Founder of the Travel-ING On Tourism Cooperative, as part of our new Voices of Alberta Entrepreneurs series.
Sheila will share her journey as a self-proclaimed ‘housewife from the bush’ with little experience to becoming an award-winning historian, best-selling author, and mobile app creator. You will hear why she chose a cooperative business structure based on the concept that members are owners and by working together, everyone wins. Hers is a story of determination, passion and resilience as she maneuvered through steps of building a mobile app at her kitchen table that has the potential to be an international travel tool.
