Brenda Horton, President

Brenda is the president of Hware LLC., and co-creator of Actionplanr.

She built and sold her first Internet-based business in the mid 90s.  She is the founder of the largest online business Meetup group in Nevada County.

Brenda has won numerous awards and accolades in sales, marketing, and customer service in vastly diverse fields such as education, hospitality, airline, restaurant, office products, health, and real estate.

Brenda speaks to audiences all over the world, large and small on entrepreneurship.  As a mentor, she inspires individuals to take action on their ideas and dreams and turn them into a reality using Hware’s proven method, Envision. Plan. Act. Track. Adapt. 

She’s the host of Life Legacy Project where she interviews startups to seasoned entrepreneurs on launching, building, and growing their business.

Brenda graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Communications and is a former top sales trainer for the Dale Carnegie Institute.

Brenda believes that all work and no play makes for a lousy and unproductive human being.  That is why you will find her exploring organic gardens, making time for yoga, enjoying red wines, cooking plant-based cuisine, hiking, mountain biking, and dancing.

As an avid fundraiser, Brenda has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various charitable causes over the years.

Passionate about the environment, you can view Brenda’s straw bale home she built and lived in for 10 years.
