Please Vote for SKCreations, LLC

I have submitted an essay entry in the Wells Fargo Works Project.  It is a contest Wells Fargo is sponsoring for small business owners who would benefit from receiving mentorship and a cash award for their business.  This is a judged contest and the winners will be based on a video or essay submission that addresses several questions.  The judges will award a maximum of 95 points for the submission.  Eligible entries are posted online in a Contest Gallery, and the public is invited to vote for the entries of their choice through July 19th.  Public voting points will be awarded after the judges have selected a group of potential finalists based on their total judged scores.

I am asking for your support by voting for my entry.  Just click the link below to get to the contest's home page.  On the home page, select the View Entries and Vote tab, then click on the magnifying glass icon (above the image) to reveal the Search Box.  Type in SKCreations, LLC and click Search.  Once my business comes up, click on the image.  That will take you to the voting page.  Under the image of my business, you will see a red button that reads Vote For This.  Click the button to vote for my business.
 

FYI, you can vote once a day up until July 19th, so I hope you'll do it again!

Thanks so much for your support!

Keeping SCORE

Home


A few years ago I learned about SCORE, formerly known as Service Core of Retired Executives and presently known as Counselors to America's Small Business.  This national organization is funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and is comprised of individuals who've worked and gained expertise in a wide variety of fields and are now volunteering to mentor those either thinking about starting a business, in the process of launching a business, or looking to grow an existing business.  You can find a mentor on their website or meet with one in person at your local SCORE office.  Each mentoring session is free.

I have met with a few different mentors over the years to discuss a variety of topics relative to my business, SKCreations, LLC, including my business plan, marketing and manufacturing, and a critique of my company website.  I have also attended several workshops which cost a modest fee.  My whole experience with SCORE has been immensely helpful to the growth of my business, and I value the services they provide more and more each time.  I've learned a lot since starting SKCreations, LLC, and discovered that there are some things I will hold on to as I continue my journey, and there are some things I will let go.  SCORE is definitely a keeper.
