Try using your local S.C.O.R.E. They've been great for me in the past.

Sounding Board maybe? Are you talking about asking a question and having a person or group of people reflect on that question?

Or an advisor?

Re: Business Coach


Very much so. In many different formats.

SCORE is EXCELLENT as a startring point. They will help your learning curve a ton - as you can pick the brains of retired professionals, with lots of experience, in whatever aspect of business you need help in.

Another idea is to get in a network in your industry. They're good for networking, but also finding people who do what you do, better than you do. Why not befriend them?
