As a mentor, I am constantly using my experience as a small business owner for 10 years to help guide and support our entrepreneurs. Starting a firm from the ground up is an exciting and challenging time because you have to juggle so many responsibilities while also doing the work that actually generates revenue.
What's the most common challenge entrepreneurs in Start:ME face and how have you helped them overcome them?

"I think the biggest challenge is when our entrepreneurs have to start getting very tactical and practical about their business. Entrepreneurs are usually dreamers and visionaries so driving down into the �how� to build a business plans can be challenging. I try to help them see that it�s really a spring board for sharing their vision with others and getting others to help them."
