The mentor I've worked with, specifically Malcolm, has been very patient as I work through my business plan. I also found his supporting team to be responsive and insightful each time. They definitely have made it a great experience especially as I embark into the unknown with information I need to feel confident.

Feeling stuck is no fun! Ever since I launched my business I have allowed my heart to lead me. One step in front of the other to the next step that felt right. Until it wasn't enough. I needed guidance. Someone to pull back the curtain and help me figure out what I was missing. I originally reached out to a different organization and had no success at reaching a live person. When you're feeling like you're sinking and can't figure things out it, no response definitely adds to the overwhelm. I'm glad I k

I want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr. Hicks for his patience with me. I was in the process of forming an LLC.
