The Value of Mentors, Pt. 1

Inspiring Women with Betty Collins

I have two women who completely inspired me at an event that I attended for the Women's Small Business Accelerator. The WSBA has a gala every fall, and Brady Ware & Company is a big supporter of that organization. Merry Korn and Sheryl Marrero told their story of how they came together. They started out together as mentor-mentee through a six-month program with the WSBA. As women business owners, we need to be inspired by other women business owners. So I really want them to tell a little bit about their journey together. And then we're going to talk about mentoring, being a mentor or a mentee. Merry is the owner of Pearl Interactive Network, Inc., and Sheryl is the President of SavKon Construction. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including how and why Sheryl needed the mentor relationship that Merry had to offer to help her with her business debt. I was in a large deficit and so I was referred to the Mentor Match program through the WSBA. I ended up at the table with Merry. And although her business was totally different from mine, I instantly felt trust in her. And that was one of the things I had hoped for and prayed for, for a mentor who I could trust. Find out what made the difference in turning her business around, and more detail about Merry's Wellness Checkup Plan.
