If you have a business or want one, the first step to getting all the support and resources you deserve is Getting Started or talking directly with any of the IGNITE! Business Success coaches, like Diana at UW-Extension. We know you are going into business because you like to work on your own, independently, but we also know that many businesses fail within the first years. Often, the reason for failure is avoidable. Talking to the professional business development experts in our county is the smartest thing you can do. We work on businesses every day, and our time is free to you. Let us do the jobs you do not enjoy or do not do well so that you can focus on the things you love.
