“While I have the business knowledge, I just wasn’t seeing the growth I wanted or needed to make this a successful venture. It was critical for me to seek an outside perspective for direction...Once I met with the FBDC, I knew I made the right decision. The process was smooth, painless and eye opening. It gave me the opportunity to celebrate my successes while working on the new opportunities. ”
