We SCOREd!

This evening, Ruth, Gracie and I walked up the steps of the Flamingo Library not knowing what to expect and feeling ill prepared. We had no idea that 15 minutes later we would be shaking the hand of a very helpful and knowledgeable man who gave us some very sound business advice. For free! Have you heard of SCORE ?

"SCORE is a nonprofit association dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and helping small businesses start, grow, and succeed nationwide. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and has been mentoring small business owners for more than forty years."

Ruth and Gracie were told about SCORE's workshops at the Department of Taxation Basic Training class last week. So, we made an appointment and met Dr. Norman Brown. We gave him some basic info about Paper Dolls, our product and where we want to be in a year. He helped us sketch out our timeline a bit, gave us some funding advice (Gulp!), informed us of the entire SCORE schedule of seminars, and even offered to show his son our Etsy shop to get his advice on our niche! We will be meeting Norman again soon.

Its the beginning of another great relationship and we left feeling so grateful that there are so many resources and altruistic people around us that want to help! I guess Goethe was right: "At the moment of commitment, the universe conspires to assist you."
