I had zero experience with opening and\/or running a business; I was actually a teacher.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought I had done my due diligence by hiring a great company to help me with my business plan, but little did I know my plan was far from being viable. I went from bank to bank presenting my \u201cplan\u201d and heard, \u201cSorry, no,\u201d over and over. I was beyond frustrated and didn\u2019t know where to turn for help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I found Steve after doing research on the Small Business Development Center. I contacted him, we met, and my life was forever changed! He helped groom my business plan by showing me what it takes for a business to survive the first few years. He also helped make sure that I had the tools and resources necessary to have my small business be successful when I opened. \u00a0After 10 years, I was able to sell my business, that he helped me start, and go on to the next adventure in my life! Thank you, Steve!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                                                                                                      &#8212; Erin S.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I met Steve Hamilton years ago while I was in the process of wanting to open a franchise.
