Vantage PointStrategic marketing concepts and business observations. Small business start-up experiences. Tuesday, July 24, 2007I've been counseling small business owners and start-ups for SCORE for a year now and it has been amazing. I wish I could say it has been the best step I've ever taken but it's not. Here are some observations from my experience.1. Some people should not start a business. 2. Some people don't want to listen to your counseling because it isn't saying what they want to hear! 3. Older counselors have a difficult time understanding the power of the internet. 4. Older businesses, now struggling, haven't realized their environment has changed but their business has not adapted to these changes. 5. Older clients, women especially, would rather quit than manage change and revitalize their business. 6. Many people don't realize the SCORE services are FREE and are missing out on great mentoring and learning opportunities. .: posted by Carol Gamel - Carol@GoldenStarFruit.com 9:33 AM| |
