I recently did a mentorship with Michelle and The Cotton Team and it was the BEST thing I've done for my business so far. They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel more like a sweet friend.

Michelle truly made me feel like the most important person and that my struggles were ones that others starting a business have. She truly explained what she felt my weaknesses were and taught me things I could do to improve my business in the kindest way possible.

She has been so thoughtful and helpful even after the mentorship and has helped me and my business in more ways than I can count. I highly recommend taking the leap with Cotton. Be ready for your business to grow in ways you never thought it could!

I am beyond grateful! I honestly cannot thank you enough!! You went above and beyond for me! The content of the workshop was amazing but the genuine love y'all shared was powerful!!!

Your warmth and openness made me feel like we were less at a workshop and more just sitting down with friends. This industry is full of people who say they are willing to share but they really don't! Y'all are different! 

I wanted to learn the systems, the marketing, the SEO because obviously y'all are killin' it! But I didn't expect to walk away feeling SO encouraged. Plus, the genuine connections with all these women is like the icing on the cake! Michelle, Kellan & Alyssa, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I honestly can't thank you enough!! You went above and beyond!
