what entrepreneurs are saying
"There are people who show up for you in unexpected, unforgettable ways, Donna Rosa is one of them.
She’s one of the biggest supporters I’ve ever had, ever.
She kept me on my toes, pushed me beyond my comfort zone, and gave me results even when I doubted if an “Oyinbo” could truly relate to the gritty realities of a Nigerian entrepreneur, I opened up to her about my challenges and we got astounding results within weeks of working together.
Donna is the hardest-working and most meticulous woman I’ve met, with a beautiful smile and the kindest soul. Her impact on my journey, both during and after the program, is something I’ll never forget.
Thank you, Ma'am. Baby Grubz Nigeria and I remain deeply grateful, ma’am. 💛
Seun Sangoleye, Founder, Baby Grubz, Nigeria
"She is flexible, friendly, loving and always gives me energy to do more into the agribusiness. She has met all my expectations from this mentorship program. She has strengthen my skills in financial management, market research and management of part time employees.
With her, I managed to win a small grant to develop a prototype of another product. The new innovation will co-sale with the existing product to increase the sales of the agribusiness.
Ms. Donna has impacted positively my agribusiness and I don’t hope to separate with her even after this mentorship period.

"I think this course was extremely empowering. It's crucial for an entrepreneur to manage their finances and be able to plan, manage and lead the business to where it needs to be. Without that knowledge it's sure to be a hit and miss."
Bernice Joy Lewis, JOIE Innovative Learning Solutions, St. Lucia
"The five-week online business program ECoaching was incredible. Thankful to our facilitators Donna Rosa and Arun and also the OECS for making this possible. Both the marketing and financial sections have given me more knowledge and insight.
Most significantly, the ECoaching financial tracker has been a great accounting and bookeeping model for my business, which was one of my main challenges. I would surely recommend this course to other entrepreneurs like myself especially in the creative industries."

"This program is the best I've gotten on how to grow my business. Especially the financial system."

"The support and help received from EFour Enterprises has played a tremendous part in getting my business in order. Donna Rosa was very patient whilst helping my team and I to solve many issues that we were faced with. Her bookkeeping methods simplified the process a whole lot making it a lot less tedious to tackle.
It also helps me to see my growth continuously with its easy yet effective layout. She also took the time to share concrete information that I not only was unaware of but she further assisted in helping me apply the knowledge learnt. Thank you so much Donna. You are amazing!"
Miah Scott, Shea Miah's Way, Grenada
"Donna worked with me to develop a business plan for my aquaculture business, OFNL Farms. In the year we worked together she helped me clarify my business model and provided feedback and advice.
​
With her support, I was able to prepare a bankable business plan. She’s calm and supportive. Despite her tight schedule she creates time to review and update the business plan, conduct research, and send her findings so we can review and use it to update the business plan. She doesn’t condone laziness, keep to time and she always keep me on my toes. She’s organized and sets achievable goal from the onset.
​
With her support and encouragement, I was able to get an expression of interest from a private equity fund. I will recommend her to any serious entrepreneur that needs an experienced mentor for support. Of all the consultants I have worked with during my entrepreneurship journey, Donna is my top pick. She’s vast in all areas of business administration and willing to learn as she’s impacting knowledge."
Olusegun Mayungbe, CEO, Oluadepe Farms Nigeria Ltd.
"Donna Rosa, everything you could ask for in a business coach and more. She has been a great coach and an ever-present figure throughout the coaching period. Donna is knowledgeable, dependable and highly resourceful. I have worked with business coaches in the past and Donna has stood out. Donna does not take a generic approach to business coaching, this I believe is her advantage and it allowed us to get more done in less time. Talk about efficiency and tailored business coaching.
​
When Donna was introduced to me as my business coach, I had an existing business (an organic farm) and two ideas for agro-processing. I wanted to produce herbal teas and/or herbal supplements. As with most (if not all) entrepreneurs, we get fixated on our ideas, emotional and have difficulties financing them. Donna got me to look at each idea individually and objectively. We went through the financials of each and analyzed the production cost, marketing strategies, branding, sourcing of raw materials, return on investment, the overall startup cost and how it would be funded. Donna helped me in setting goals and held me accountable. I had to present my findings at our weekly meetings. Even though we had set meeting hours, Donna was never too busy to respond to an important text message.
​
I am happy to say that I was able to use the principles I learnt from Donna to launch a viable and successful business. I turned my wife’s hobby into a profitable and environmentally friendly business. We did this with the little money we had. I will forever be in Donna’s debt."
Anthony Lawrence, Life’s Choice and Unwind by Gracey, Jamaica (Moringa Teas & Handmade Soaps)
"Donna mentored me as part of the Branson Centre program in Jamaica. I have a local chocolate business, Coldbush Organics brand name Mount Pleasant Farm Chocolatiers Jamaica. She helped me focus on the most profitable business segments and encouraged me to negotiate better payment terms with suppliers to improve my cash flow. She also helped publicize my business on LinkedIn.
​
Donna's guidance was very helpful to me. She kept me on track and accountable by outlining a plan with action steps for me to follow. I would strongly recommend Donna to other small businesses in the Caribbean and elsewhere."
