Heather Koester will talk about resisting the temptation to go at it alone by tapping into the abundance of regional resources. A big mistake entrepreneurs make is thinking they are all alone, and they try to operate independently without surrounding themselves with a business support network. Find trustworthy seasoned advisors to discuss your business ideas, strategy, challenges, and progress. Wisdom and power exist in the multiplicity of counsel. Seek advice from lawyers, accountants, and consultants as advisors to receive continuous feedback from your support network so that fewer mistakes will occur. Networking with other business owners, as well as looking for small-business organizations and associations in your community.
