My Back round is mainly in the Bar and Restaurant industry (30+ yrs) . But I also have some other start-up and general small business experience. I hope i can help you get in touch with some of the fears and overwhelming aspects of starting a new business or growing your existing business. When i first started out I had decades of experience in the Bar/Restaurant industry, but no experience with starting a business. It can feel very overwhelming. Don't let all the corporate jargon scare you!! It is very important stuff, but just because you don't "speak corporate" doesn't mean you can't figure it out. So many people helped me when i was first starting my business. I couldn’t have done it without them. I didn't know that an organization like SCORE even existed at the time. If i can be of any help to someone else who is starting a business that doesn’t have the benefit that i had of trusted advisors, i would be honored to help.
