If you would like to continue offering pro bono mentoring services to entrepreneurs or small business owners, please email us at nylovessmbiz@esd.ny.gov with your core business skills, experience or education and your preferred service area.
Revenue deficit is our biggest challenge at this point. It seems when things start to get better the proverbial SH*T hits the fan. 911, the 08 recession and COVID have created serious financial challenges. On top of this we lack any Marketing skills.
Our space is uninviting. It looks non professional and run down. It is by no means a glamorous industrie but I would like the space to be updated and more efficient.
Actions I’ve taken so far
Very little. Money has always been an issue.
My future goals
Make money. Not live Job to Job. Have competent employees.
My motivations to work with a mentor
To help secure a future for our business and have a retirement plan in place.
