What people are saying
Having a business mentor has really helped me on many different fronts, and I have really appreciated his ideas & feedback; and certainly implemented most of his ideas so far.
A great way to meet and to learn off other business owners. The information you gain is priceless. These meetings have been extremely helpful in my first year of business.
