Over the past year, I have moved my tax and accounting office CEG incredibly forward. And I can honestly say that one of the main reasons was my participation in the DoToho! program. From the first meeting with my mentor Martin Kalenda, I knew that the invested energy and time would bring great results. A mentor helped me get out of my bubble and see how much untapped talent and opportunity lay right at my feet. We worked on clarifying the company's values and I also learned to delegate effectively. Thanks to networking activities, which there are plenty in DoToho!, I found other great partners for my business - both clients and reliable suppliers. I can only recommend DoToho!, thank you for the opportunity to be a part of it all!

I have never been employed and thus had no opportunity to learn how companies do internal processes, remuneration or perhaps motivation. I create all these things gradually and try to improve them all the time. When I signed up for DoToho! I was faced with the decision to hire people for sales, administration or the technical part, because someone has to manage our advertising network, build it and go to conferences. Thanks to the mentor, we were able to define these positions and tell what is important for their filling and successful management.

Every company has some beginnings. It's not about where you start, it's about how you work, develop and where you end up. If you are starting a business or have been in business for several years, it is always good to get inspired and find innovations for your company. DoToho! connects experienced mentors with companies that need to direct, move or develop their business. As a participant, I highly recommend this platform, it helped me clarify my next strategy and gave me the courage to take key steps.

During the summer, I listened to a podcast with Pavel Přikryl about DoToho! and I immediately knew that I would like to participate and so I signed up. ... After the second meeting with my mentor Roman Stupka, I had the first AHA moment, which was about the relationship of corporate values and vision with the stability and long-term sustainability of my business. The second AHA moment came when I came down from the clouds and started working on it. I realized how much work is in front of me. … Another principle that Roman and I developed is pacing, which helps me keep the angle and divides large tasks into smaller ones. Thank you very much, Roman and the whole DoToho! platform, I hope to repay what you gave me in the form of my growing stable business.

Starting a business with the aim of having your first employees and setting up the entire company's processes from scratch is a big challenge for the inexperienced. I took over a family business with the aim of changing the entire functioning of the company and expanding its operations, without much business experience. Thanks to DoToho! I wasn't alone and this journey suddenly became much more welcoming. I got an experienced mentor, thanks to whom both I personally and my company started moving much faster. Together we set the goals of our cooperation, which we worked on regularly. We set up the recruitment process together and I learned to communicate better with my team. We are currently working together to define the company culture, which will make finding suitable candidates even easier. I am very grateful to my mentor Regina for all these shifts and a big thanks to the DoToho! team who are doing a great job.

It is always great to have an experienced partner at hand. The DoToho program gave me one. With my mentor, Vlastimil Jaroš, we looked at topics such as leadership, product setup and sales. Our pleasant meetings purposefully spilled over from business matters into mindset and value setting. It helped me work on myself and set a clear direction in my business. I recommend DoToho! to everyone, it's worth it.

Great workshops that are dedicated to the topics we are dealing with at the moment. The main benefit for me was the mentoring with Denisa Havrdová (CEO of Papelote), during which I found out that it is important to talk to someone who has several years of experience. In Papelote, they have gone through all the problems that we are dealing with, so Denisa knows the solutions or knows how to prevent them. As we are a small company and we can solve things quickly, at the next meeting we already completed what Denisa suggested to change or implement.

I really like the program. My mentor Honza Brejcha is the biggest name when it comes to marketing. When I applied to the program, I thought that I didn't need much from marketing, that I would rather focus on other areas, but people think and reality changes. I discovered that everything starts with whether you communicate and present yourself correctly. Honza and I went back to the very basics and clarified the archetype of the brand. We talked about sub-brands or how to communicate in the pubs. So, following Honza's advice, we created coasters and tap stickers. In the brewery, among other things, I am overwhelmed with administration and operations, micromanagement, which exhausts me quite a bit, so I appreciate the moments with Honza when I switch off and start looking at things , in a different way, with a "big picture" perspective.

I signed up for DoToho! even though at first I was a little doubtful whether it really works according to the propositions. But I have to take my hat off for the mentor you have chosen for me. Aleš Holan and I matched on almost every aspect. Aleš helped me with some crucial aspects of our business. We use the system created by him for the correct allocation of costs and therefore the correct pricing of products. Because Aleš has extensive experience in the automotive and motorsport environment, he taught us to better look at the potential of products through the eyes of our partners. He helped us both with the method and formulation of effective addressing of partners, as well as with his own contacts. Last but not least, he directly connected us with interesting businessmen from the industry. I believe that cooperation with him will continue in the future and will hopefully be beneficial and attractive for both parties.

I was thrilled with being paired with my mentor, Jiří Vicherek. In our first mentoring session, he helped me realize what truly excites me and how I should structure my business. Sure, I had thought about this countless times on my own, but I couldn't figure it out by myself. Then we let go of a "dead horse" (in my case, agency development) and started testing ideas for SaaS applications. There’s still a long journey ahead of me, but I’m looking forward to it. Mentoring has undoubtedly played a significant role in this.

I can absolutely recommend it! DoToho! is not your typical networking club but an excellent platform (and not just) for sharing among entrepreneurs. In the past, I used to tell people from Brno that it’s so great it’s worth commuting to Prague for. And now, we can also draw inspiration from DoToho! right here in Brno!

I would like to thank DoToho! for their mentorship. My mentor, Petr Sedláček, was the best mentor I could have wished for. In our first meeting, we set goals for how I wanted to feel and what I wanted to experience by the end of the program. And except for one, I achieved all of them! It’s almost unbelievable. I want to emphasize that Petr played a huge role in this. The way he shared his experiences through stories was exactly what I needed to reflect and think in the right direction. Petr also guided me on how to "switch a few small things" to enjoy my business the way I desire and deserve. A big thank you to the whole team – in just a few months, I’ve made an incredible journey.

I became friends with my mentor, Jakub Cipra, and his son is now even interning with us. We also started working with Tomáš Choc from Raviola.cz, whom we met during the introductory session, and we’re already creating creative content for him. Considering we’ve only attended two events so far, the initial results are excellent. We’re really looking forward to the upcoming meetings.

Our team agreed that the DoToho! program is beneficial for us. My colleagues enjoy attending networking events, and we all take advantage of the lectures. This month alone, I have several in my calendar. Our collaboration with our mentor, Daniel Franc, has been an exceptionally good fit for us.
