Judi Hughes is the co-founder of Your Planning Partners Ltd. She and Nick have worked together building successful businesses since 1979.

Judi jokes, “I’ve been in sales and marketing my whole life. My first sales call was with my dad when I was 5 years old. I learned from that first experience that you build your business by building relationships. The only difference today is we have more and better tools and greater opportunity”.

Judi has applied her strong marketing and sales skills to her work with hundreds of small business clients. She has been instrumental in helping her clients set a clear destination, develop strategic action plans and focus on implementing those plans.

The success of her business ventures is due to her overall passion for small business, her unrelenting commitment to the power that comes from having complete clarity about where you are going and then the positive force created by setting strategic focus.

Judi has written numerous articles, been a key-note speaker, taught a wide range of hands-on workshops and led numerous seminars all directed at bringing small business owners the tools and knowledge they need to create an exceptional business.
