Helen&#8217;s core value are life-long learning and to remain open to new ideas to grow in business.  This mindset and behavior have been key to Bradlink’s success over the past 13 years and continue to play a key role in her company growth.   She was also selected to participate in several small business training programs at Houston Community College, including the <a href="http://www.hccs.edu/district/departments/10ksb/"><span style="color: #009d4e;">HCC</span> <span style="color: #009d2e;">Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses</span></a> program, the <span style="color: #009d2e;"><a style="color: #009d2e;" href="http://www.hccbizconnect.org/programs/competition/">HCC Newspring Business Plan Competition</a></span>, and she encourages others to take advantage of the opportunities and continued learning available through HCC.  In the 2016 HCC Newspring Business Plan Competition, Helen created her plan to launch <span style="color: #009d2e;">PermitUsNow.com</span>.  As of Fall 2017, PermitUsNow is ramping up to four employees. Major growth has come from permitting activity in over 100 HEB projects throughout Texas and through work on retail and restaurant tenant projects at HAS and other big box stores.  Helen also serves as a State Commissioner on the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Commission.</p>

Connie has also participated in both the <span style="color: #009d2e;"><a style="color: #009d2e;" href="http://www.hccs.edu/district/departments/10ksb/">HCC Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses</a></span> program and the 2013 <span style="color: #009d2e;"><a style="color: #009d2e;" href="http://www.hccbizconnect.org/programs/competition/">HCC Newspring Business Plan Competition</a> (BPC)</span>.  She believes that both programs gave her the additional tools to expand her career even further.  In 2013, she was recognized by the Houston Business Journal as both Houston Fast 100 Growing Private Companies and the #1 Fastest-Growing Woman-Owned Businesses.  In 2014, she used her business plan experience to write a book proposal; that resulted in her landing a top literary agent and a publisher for her 1<sup>st</sup> book.   In 2015, Connie had the opportunity to participate in the Innovate Her competition offered by SBA. The only drawback – she had to prepare a full business plan within five days to meet the deadline. “Connie said, no worries, I can do this – because I participated in the 2013 HCC Business Plan Competition!”  Released in April 2017, Connie’s book, <span style="color: #009d2e;"><a style="color: #009d2e;" href="https://www.amazon.com/God-Gave-Us-Wings-Journey/dp/1683501357">“<em>God Gave Us Wings</em>”</a></span> has since become an Amazon bestseller in her category.  Connie is also making a donation from her book sales to the the HCC Center for Entrepreneurship when anyone purchases a book and shares it on Facebook with their copy holding the book and using the hashtag #HCC and #GGUW.  Congratulations Connie and thank you!</p>
