SUMMARY:CO.STARTERS January Community Call
DESCRIPTION:Getting Starters Unstuck \nIf you’re a community leader supporting entrepreneurs\, we’re pretty sure you’ve experienced it. Someone comes in looking for help\, which you are happy to offer. However\, it takes over an hour to even begin understanding what their business is\, let alone identifying their issue and pointing them in the right direction. On this month’s community call\, our founder Enoch Elwell will share his structured technique on how to quickly and efficiently get starters unstuck and provide greater value—in 30 minutes or less.
