Participants will share a business challenge they are encountering. In the way the SCORE mentors encourage their clients to bring challenges up early on, rather than trying to solve problems on their own first, failing and then needing to find help. SCORE mentors will provide insight and guidance on identifying and facilitating problem-solving to meet short-term and long-term business goals.
