Before I started this business almost 30 years ago, I enlisted the help of an organization called SCORE.  Of course, my mom and dad were the real mentors, as my business was an offshoot of theirs, but the healthy home 'industry' wasn't an industry yet.  So I needed some help.  As a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), SCORE has helped more than 11 million entrepreneurs through mentoring, workshops and educational resources since 1964.

So the episode today is the presentation that I made at their monthly chapter meeting.  I hope that if you're listening and you have an idea about starting a business, you reach out to SCORE for some help.  It's free, but its absolutely invaluable.  Oh...I answer some good questions at the end, so stick around!
