What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
I am currently struggling to fundraise to secure a location. I am cleaning up my credit score, but I would like to explore other options to get an MVP launched. I also need help with cleaning up my business and marketing plans so I can begin pitch conversations with potential sponsors and backers.
Actions I’ve taken so far
So far I have begun to build out the brand and focused on the business structure. We are growing our social media presence on Instagram mostly and building out our website. I have also connected with local mental health partners to get feedback on our concept and input on how it might benefit their clients. I have a SCORE mentor and advisory team and am hoping to have a more consistent mentor relationship.
My future goals
Within the next 6 months, I aim to open a space in St. Louis city with 1 full-time and 2 part-time employees and $15K monthly revenue. I would like to have 1000 combined Instagram followers and email contacts. I also want to feel confident leading my team and making revenue projections.
My motivations to work with a mentor
ACCOUNTABILITY AND FOCUS. It's difficult to manage everything at once, so I am hoping to get clearer and more focused on getting out of the idea phase.
