In keeping with their vision of giving back to the surrounding business community, San Diego Pros — a non-profit business development and networking group — is now offering an unique opportunity to emerging entrepreneurs.
One candidate per year will be selected for a six-month mentorship program to help launch or grow their business. The successful candidate will leverage the varied and combined experience, expertise and successful business techniques of current San Diego Pros members in areas such as business action plans, clarity in vision and marketing language, legal structure, financial management and relationship building. When selected, they will also receive a complimentary one year membership. By participating in the San Diego Pros successful networking environment, the new small business owner will refine their business acumen as well as product and/or service delivery.
The ideal candidate exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit and is motivated to take their business passion into reality by actively seeking feedback they then translate into actions of self mastery. They will have a prepared business plan which they can present. They’re able to enthusiastically describe their product or service and their passion behind it. And, they’ll have a fiscal plan designed to carry them through the start up process. Applications for the “Nourishment for the Entrepreneur” program are being accepted through March 15th. Complete program information, candidate requirements and an application form may be found online.
About the group: Grounded in the philosophy that together we can go further, faster — San Diego Pros is a non-profit networking organization of professionals and entrepreneurs who believe that when you choose to invest in the social dynamics of a networking group, the exchange of business happens as a natural byproduct of the relationships created. Therefore, the group focuses on business development instead of “tipping” and are dedicated to helping members advance their business objectives by facilitating special networking events, innovative educational forums and professional development opportunities. They meet at the Mr. A’s building in Bankers Hill on three Thursdays of the month at 7am, then hold an evening “social” for more casual networking on the third Thursday.
