If you have a great idea, that's fantastic. However, to take that idea and put it through a program like this is really going to increase your chances of success. You know, that you can make this a reality. It's allowed me to feel that I'm on the right track. Something that you kind of always second guess, you know, yourself. Am I doing the right thing? Is, is this going to provide value? Am I spending all this time and effort for nothing? Not only was the program rigorous and well thought out, but it had great coaching, great mentorship, and it really made you feel like you were part of a larger community because you were going through this with other people. I am incredibly grateful to the county that I live in for having this program available to me as a resident. And, you know, I feel a little bit bad for colleagues of mine that are starting their own businesses but live outside where they don't have this program. And I kind of hit my head against the wall a little bit when I'm talking to a buddy of mine who started his business. And I was thinking, oh, it would be so beneficial for him to go through this program, because, again, it really helps people take their idea and think through all of the steps that are needed to launch a business, to take a business from an idea into something that generates money for them and value for their. For their customers.
