"My brainstorming conversation with Nancy Barnett exceeded my expectations. Nancy took me thru the steps of licensing and registering my business. Taxes as a sole proprietor, thru brainstorming marketing avenues I have done and going into different directions for exposure. She guided and informed me on resources from Denver Library resource center to accessing public records for marketing. I can't wait to get everything accomplished from her guidance. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Nancy for your time and knowledge."

"Angela was a tremendous resource, not only in providing me with contact info for programs that might help my organization through the current crisis, but also in giving great ideas and validation for the entrepreneurial work we're doing to try and weather the storm."
