Get Your Business in High Gear – Consider a SCORE Mentor

January is National Mentoring Month

A Mentor can 
•    guide you through business stages
•    offer a different perspective on an obstacle
•    help you expand your network
•    help you identify and leverage available tools and resources
More than likely, the statistics are high that your competitor took advantage of SCORE’s mentoring and educational services last year, and entrepreneurs who received more than three hours of mentoring reported higher revenues and increased growth. 


Harness the power of mentoring to launch or take your business to new levels of success.  Entrepreneurs who work with a mentor are five times more likely to start a business.
