Business Coaching
Mountain BizWorks offers highly customized, peer-to-peer business coaching by an extensive network of successful local business owners. Our coaching helps entrepreneurs overcome obstacles, grow strategically, and create jobs. We aim to educate as well as present your options in a step by step achievable path so you can build a successful business. Mountain BizWorks coaches provide support to business owners but don’t “do” the work for you. Come to us to learn the skills necessary to build a strong business and we will be your sounding board to make decisions in the start-up phase all the way through to succession planning.
Coaching is available in English and Spanish.
Para hablar con alguien acerca de nuestros servicios en español (clases, asesoria, y préstamos), Karla Castillo 828-253-2834 Ext 20.
