If you’re running a company then you know one of the best (and easiest ways) to grow your business is through referrals.   You know…the kind where a good friend, who can vouch for you, has known you for years…

…introduces you to a friend of theirs who needs your exact service and as they introduce you, raves about how you're the best.

That’s exactly what the BNI organization is.

It is the world’s largest and most successful referral network organization with chapters in over 76 countries

And Orange Hawk Marketing, the parent company of Vancouver Famous Media, is a proud member of the local BNI Destiny chapter right here in Vancouver, which averaged $100,000+ of shared business per member seat being referred to members of the chapter…

…and it’s only getting bigger 🚀

If you’re looking to hang with some of the top business owners in Vancouver, grow your business, and more importantly - tap into a profitable business referral network, we are opening up a visitors day on January 19, 2023 to you.

It starts at 6:45am, so grab your coffee, and join us on zoom.   DM your email and we’ll get you an invitation.

Going through some much needed healing?

1st off, congratulations, hats off to you!

Because on the other side of healing is a stronger, more amazing you. 😇

Healing takes a lot of energy, courage and commitment.

It takes a willingness to explore tough spots and a hope that things will be different.

It is not like going to the spa.

It is more like being in the trenches.

But, as Kelsey, Vancouver’s favorite clinical counselor reminds her people…

“Oh my darling…Healing is worth it!”

What waits on the other side of these challenges is a version of you…

…a little freer
…a little wiser
…and a little more you!

While it can be challenging feeling like you might want support, and not knowing where to start.

Kelsey provides a TON of free resources on her Instagram profile that might just help you know the next best step.

Go to to download her booklet of resources, which are available to you almost anywhere in BC.

This booklet helps you know what support exists and how to find it.

Happy healing ❤️
