Topic for Discussion: Where do small business owners go to find experts?

Answer: In every episode we hear how different business owner seek and find experts to help them solve simple and complicated problems. In this particular program we learn about SCORE. Ken Yancey explains that there are over 10,000 retired business men and women who will take time to deliver free counseling to business owners. Most of these volunteers have an area of expertise so you can be matched with a person who can help with your specific issue. Visit the web site at score.org.

You think about it: When was the last time you asked someone for help? Is it time to do it again? If you have never asked a veteran for advice, why not?
