Professionals, entrepreneurs, & business owners needed for our national business mentoring program Please enroll as a mentor at https://form.jotform.com/92877953767178 About the BEA Launching or growing a business can be complicated and overwhelming.The many factors involved - money, team, technology, marketing, legal, accounting - cause many people who want to be entrepreneurs and business owners to forego the opportunity to invest in their own talents, skills, and ideas.Even worse, some people count themselves out before fully exploring or understanding their options. Black Connect’s Business & Entrepreneur Assessment (BEA) Program helps individuals who aspire to launch or grow a business venture, but need a roadmap to achieving their goals. This business mentoring program can help members to not only understand their strengths and capabilities, but also provides useful guidance for creating a business plan and finding additional resources. Objectives The BEA helps participants answer fundamental questions such as: 1. Is entrepreneurship and business ownership right for me? 2. What type of business is best suited for me? 3. What roles do I need to fill for my business idea to succeed? 4. Should I form a corporation, LLC, or sole proprietorship? 5. How should I market my business? 6. What expenses should I expect in launching my business? 7. How do I develop a prototype? Features and Benefits for Business Mentors ("Mentors") Mentors do not have to be business owners. Only experience in a business-related area is needed - sales, marketing, product development, insurance, accounting, law, banking, etc. We also need mental health professionals (therapists, counselors) who can help members cope with the stress of owning a business. Mentors serve in a voluntary capacity. Mentors play an integral part of helping Black Connect fulfill its mission of launching and growing Black-owned businesses. Mentors are designated moderators of the Black Connect Business Forum on Blackconnect.com. 100% remote with flexible scheduling and minimum time commitment. Minimum of one 15 minute phone/video consultation per week.
