Our Process to Successful Mentoring
When working with new businesses, our process is to start with Ideation and work through the whole process to create a plan for the business and then launch the business.
For existing businesses, we first assess the current status of the business and determine which process steps are going to be needed in order to move the business forward and then proceed from there.
