Hello Gotham members: This program may appeal to those of you, or NYC region clients, who are small business owners.
I was selected for it from 2010-2011, for a nominal cost, through the NYC Small Bz. Svcs. Now SBA is offering it for FREE! It's a terrific Executive Training program where you come up with a three year "Strategic Growth Action Plan". Additionally you make lasting connections to different experts and with fellow program members. I highly recommend you consider it, and apply! NYC limits the program to M/WBE certified Businesses in the City. Since this is being offered through SBA, Federally funded, these restrictions are not in place. This is an opportunity to kick your business into the next gear, and learn so much with money you've already spent....through your tax $! It's like getting Executive/Business coaching for seven months at no cost other time invested working on your business.
Good luck to any of you that apply. If want to discuss program details, call/email anytime. All my best-Amparo
