We offer entrepreneurs, which are either launching a start-up or growing an existing business, no-charge in person counseling by men and women who have had successful careers as executives or business owners. Your counselors meet with you personally, confidentially and as frequently as necessary to define and analyze your opportunities; then help you find the solutions. These sessions will typically be scheduled for an hour at our office in Palm Desert at 43-100 Cook St., Suite 104, Palm Desert, CA 92211, or at your business.
