How I can help

My professional background

I have six years of experience working with entrepreneurs in the prestartup and startup stages. I run a local entrepreneurship assistance center through which I facilitate a 10-week business training course and worked with about 500 businesses to register their business, apply for licenses and permits, write business plans, and create marketing and financial strategies.


How to work with me

What I can offer

I can provide entrepreneurs who are in the planning stage of their business with how to organize their operations and think about marketing.

My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship

A successful online mentoring relationship requires both parties to get very specific about the problem being faced and be respectful about each other's online boundaries.

How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start

An entrepreneur should really think about the problem at hand and specify what they cannot figure out on their own.
