“Seeing my next chapter showed me that potential is limitless. With new resources in hand, I am pushing forward on my journey to become my best self.”
Austin Handel had always dreamed of being a business owner. He started out working on an ice cream truck, and while the work motivated him to grow something of his own, he often felt unprepared and nervous about his future. He wanted to build a business and grow as an entrepreneur, but without the right skills or network, it felt out of reach.
Turning Point
“I learned the importance of the “game of business” it taught me that business is a game and it’s a competition which I love and I was happy to compete with other Indiana business owners that I share lots of respect for. ”
