Together, they deemed it essential a little more than a year ago to combine their immeasurable business-related skills and establish a credible, thriving, progressive venture, one that figures to benefit others mightily in this ever-so-competitive entrepreneurship industry.
MAKING THEIR DREAMS REALITIES — Donya Zimmerman and Alina Lopez Thomas are the proud founders of the Ultimate Biz Conference (or UBC), their Quincy, Massachusetts-based venture they organized for the sole purpose of combining their resources as a unique, strategic way grow what they described as their mutual businesses.
“The purpose of the Conference is to educate aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses on the importance of building a strong legal and financial foundation to sustain their business,” Donya Zimmerman told Making Headline News during a recent interview.
The Conference to which Zimmerman and Alina Lopez Thomas are alluding is the Ultimate Biz Conference (or UBC), their Quincy, Massachusetts-based venture they organized for the sole purpose of combining their resources as a unique, strategic way grow what they described as their mutual businesses.
CHILL MODE — According Zimmerman and Thomas, UBC is extremely credible and beneficial in that it is widely regarded as an effective, rewarding, life-enhancing networking event to attend.
An up-and-coming business that essentially is in its infancy stages, the Ultimate Biz Conference’s chief objective is geared largely toward educating entrepreneurs on how to cover their assets while running the day-to-day operations of their respective business.
According Zimmerman and Thomas, UBC is extremely credible and beneficial in that it is widely regarded as an effective, rewarding, life-enhancing networking event to attend.
“As a networking event, one is able to connect with potential business partners and collaborators to grow your business,” Thomas said.
For what it’s worth, credit the competitive drive of this dream team tandem of businesswomen that greatly fueled their desire to erect what undoubtedly is a rather appealing business for like-minded entrepreneurs.
Both of whom admittedly were once hampered by fear and frustration over the state of their respective careers, Zimmerman and Thomas had ultimately felt a divine connection, of sorts, given their similar business-oriented backgrounds.
As a result and much to their delight, it’s safe to assume that not only were they on to something potentially profitable but, most importantly, it seemed that one favorable thing had led to another.
Having been forced to unceremoniously vacate the careers they loved dearly and gave their “whole lives” to, the co-founders of UBC were — as they explained — backed into a corner, unable to find full-time employment anywhere.
Still, in spite of the few stumbling blocks they encountered while trying to re-invent themselves, there arose a silver lining, of sorts which, fortunately for them, practically sums up why their entrepreneurship tandem makes all of the sense in the world.
These business duo, in fact, don’t shy away from the notion that they had no choice but to turn their gifts and talents into a profitable business. Having initially crossed paths at during an event in Quincy, Zimmerman and Thomas had collectively come to grips that forming the Ultimate Biz Conference was absolutely essential.
So here they are today, basking in the glory of the moment, one about which they are responsible for starting in the first place.
By and large, amongst the things about which Ultimate Biz Conference has done for Zimmerman and Thomas is afford them the golden opportunity to use their failures as a teaching tool, of sorts, a trend from which aspiring entrepreneurs can learn.
Also, their Ultimate Biz Conference 2018 will be held on April 19-21 in nearby White Plains, New York at the Cambria Hotel And Suites. Accompanied by the theme, Think Like a CEO and Act Like a CEO, this 2 ½-day conference will prepare aspiring entrepreneurs to open their business doors in 2018 and beyond. Tickets for the event can be purchased at www.ultimatebizconference.com.
“What I like most about being in my own business is simple,” Thomas said. “Doors that were previously shut have now been opened. My mind has expanded into a different field and I’m the product of my mission. The building of business relationships and making connections with other like-minded individuals.”
NATIONAL IMPACT — A nationally-acclaimed business that is enjoying considerable growth since its much-anticipated inception on November 15, 2017, UBC caters mostly to aspiring entrepreneurs who are ready to start their own business or individuals who have been in business for less than five years, not to mention a business that is in need of a much-needed makeover, Zimmerman and Thomas emphasized.
Zimmerman essentially echoed that about which Thomas eloquently professed.
“I love the fact that I have been able to turn my mess of losing my law practice into a powerful message of redemption,” Zimmerman said. “I have been able to ensure that aspiring entrepreneurs learn the importance of covering their assets while in business. Also, I’ve been able to educate small businesses on how to be prepared for the what-ifs in business.”

“(Our) mission is to turn the Ultimate Biz Conference into an international phenomenon where we will create a world full of entrepreneurs and small business owners,” Zimmerman and Thomas said. “One goal of Ultimate Biz Conference is to help individuals understand that they are in control of their own destiny when it comes to becoming small business owners.”
