Hi Ioana,

So many ideas are whirling around in my head.  I am so excited about our plans to partner and launch Shine Business! 
(note from Ioana, we named our first project Wholehearted Preneur, later it became Shine Business)

Meeting you during the 30 Day Video Challenge was so synchronistic. For years I have worked alone on many different creative endeavors, but I  was always  looking to find a partner to work with who shared my vision.  However, I did not expect the universe to find me a partner from Holland. 

When I saw your videos, I was immediately drawn to what you had to say and to the sincerity and integrity in your messages.   I felt a connection to you and wanted to learn more about you.  

During our first conversation via Skype, I could not believe just how much we had in common.   Our thinking and interests are in sync.  It seems a natural to team up with you to plant a new business.

I think our vision is a powerful one.  Women need a community where they are heard and supported.   Women usually spend years taking care of others besides themselves. I love the idea of  our creating a nurturing safe space for them to find affirmation and encouragement to grow and create their dreams.

So, here is my question to you.   As we begin this journey together, would you be willing to begin our conversations via email to record follow our process to bring  Wholehearted Preneur from a dream into reality?
