Here's a SCORE story that might inspire you. It's about a home-grown family business that continues to grow and gain as one of Ventura County's small businesses. SCORE is proud to have been right there at the beginning offering key assistance. . .and now look! Here's the story, provided by SCORE-Ventura President, Larry Willett.
EarthScents Natural Cleaning was created in 2007 by Patricia and Steve Hess after a family member experienced reactions to multiple chemical household cleaners in the home. There were many "green" items on the market, but not one that was truly 100% all natural. And...EarthScents was born!
Patricia attended the SCORE Ventura free seminar in August 2011 and met with several of the SCORE counselors in attendance. She and Steve then scheduled a counseling session with Larry Willett who is giving them guidance on developing a business plan and coordinating their SCORE mentoring program. Steve has since met with another SCORE counselor, Mike Scotto, to discuss marketing plans and specifically how to participate in interviews with the local media such as the Ventura Star article. Steve has also attended several of SCORE's workshop in the Successful Entrepreneur Series held at the Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce. Patricia and Steve are growing EarthScents Natural Cleaning with continued guidance and support from SCORE Ventura.
If you have your own business idea and would like some sound review with an experienced SCORECounselor, consider giving SCORE-Ventura a jingle.
