With an intuitive user interface, this interactive PDF provides quick access to some of the best resources available to nurture and develop your business. And it’s cross platform compatible, whether you’re on a MAC, Windows, or a mobile device.
A couple of items to make use of this tool more productive:
First, you’ll find your navigation experience to be optimized with the free Adobe Reader or Acrobat installed on your device. To download, click Here.
Second, be sure to take a moment and review the “Read Me” page (lower left-hand corner of master page) this will give you a quick overview on how to navigate this PDF.
Finally, while there’s order to the content provided, there’s no path from step 1 to 2 to 3, etc… Think of this as a portal to the many libraries of resources where you can work on one topic or another that’s relevant to your efforts at any given time.
This guide isn’t designed to answer all your questions as you nurture your business, but a starting point with the core resources available. Hopefully, your work with your SCORE mentor will fill in the rest of the blanks.
