"I attended a SCORE series a year and half ago with the goal of taking my business to a greater level of professionalism. The classes far exceeded my expectations of what I could learn from them. Besides being jam-packed with valuable information, I was given the opportunity to share my challenges and ideas, gain and offer feedback, and discover the value of focusing 100 % on improving my business as part of my weekly and monthly routine. The results have been phenomenal. I've set goals and achieved them due largely to the focused attention of the volunteers. The input from these experienced professionals has helped me turned ideas into action into more clients and more profits."
