$1000 prize winner of SCORE/Sam's Club - Small Business Championship

 

Home Grown tours receiving award.

I can't express how much I admire my two mentors (Michael Adell & Clark Rattet). Right from the beginning I've enjoyed working with them, for over a year now. They have helped me create my business plan, talked with me in depth about my ideas along with meeting me, and talking for hours about the specifics of a business. I have been truly blessed to have had the chance to work with this program. The most important part of my mentors is that we have a great relationship and work well together.  Read more...

Advice for someone starting out in business?

 

Kid & Kaboodle logo

 "Love, love, love what you do. You have to work long hours and make personal sacrifices to be successful. Know every aspect of your business from accounting to advertising to emptying wastebaskets. Listen to your customers and ask for help because you’ll need it. I’ve asked for help from mentors and SCORE. Know your limitations and work on them. But most of all enjoy the ride because it’s so rewarding."

Cathy Alekna, owner of Kid & Kaboodle in Orleans, as published in the Cape Cod Times, 5/15/16

 

 

"SCORE has been a very important part of our success"

 

F3A Unlimited

Today was great. I was sitting on the fence as to whether trade shows were the way to go.  I feel confident now that it’s essential. Face to face is very important. I know I can sell, it's in my blood.  Having better tools to assure success is only going to help in the long run.  

I felt an energy from your teaching prowess. You have a gift.  SCORE has been a very important part of our success. 3 and a half years ago our first meeting with a mentor gave my wife and I enough positive encouragement to allow us to take the plunge.

I am forever grateful for that.  Thank you so very much for your incite.

Mike Mueller, President of F3AUnlimited.com, Gator-RC.com, and Power Unlimited Lipo’s.

It helped me to organize and execute a checklist. I honestly believe we are where we are now due to all of the wonderful help from SCORE."
