Success Story
Evaluation Into Action - With help from SCORE!
With a background in research methodologies, I began doing a significant amount of program evaluation work with an educational organization. I loved the work, but it ended up being just too much travel. I began looking for program evaluation opportunities that didn’t require so much travel. After talking to several organizations, I found there was a need for consultants in this field. I started in education, then expanded to include a wider variety of nonprofits.
Success Story
Solar Bill Reviews
After working for decades in the communications industry, I started bumping into people who had solar. It didn't take long to recognize that everyone who has Solar loves it. One out of five didn't say they absolutely loved it, complained that they had a true-up Bill and they were not sure if or how much money was being saved. This is where the name Solar Bill Review came in. Our company does Bill reviews. We do one right after the installation and then we do them yearly. This helps build our relationships and empowers a better customer experience.

With the guidance of my SCORE Mentors, Arik Paran, and Bruce Kleinman, I refined my business plan and considered how to best serve my target audience.

Dr. Kankeu and Her Natural Cosmetics Business
Cynthia Kankeu truly believes that there is no such thing as good or bad hair.

You should never blame your hair but always blame the products. Cynthia started manufacturing her products in her kitchen. Her products are handmade and mainly made of natural ingredients. Cynthia’s hard work pays off – “After 20 years of being insecure of my thick, coarse, unruly hair, I have finally found a product that makes me feel good. Feels good, smells good

SCORE Helps Film Producer Bring Business into Focus
SCORE gave me the confidence to make the jump to being a business owner from employee. Since I am a big believer in preparation, I wanted to make sure I was ready and had my questions answered before leaving my job to go out on my own. And my business is going well. I had set a goal of recruiting five clients -- outside of my contract work with my former employer -- by year's end and I met that goal.
Success Story
From Shaping Surfboards to Shaping Success
I started shaping surfboards in 2016. The reason I started was so that I could attempt to make myself surfboards that I really wanted to try, but could not afford. It was extremely fun to design a shape, then shape it, then ride it and learn from it. I started to appreciate all of the unique feelings that different surfboards had. This process was addicting for me. I started taking orders from people I would meet in the water while surfing, and it snowballed into having consistent work. I really enjoy the process of creating functional and calculated designs that serve a purpose. I hope to
