Find the business help you need. Connect with business professionals willing to share their expertise to help you grow.

At Justine Petersen we know that owning a small business offers a pathway to economic self-sufficiency, and the chance to leave a legacy for yourself, your family, and your community. A growth mindset is vital for small business success. The more you grow professionally, the better prepared you are to manage and grow your business.

Actively participating in a mentoring relationship is a key way to engage in your growth as a small business owner. Sure, you can read books and watch YouTube videos, but nothing beats connecting with an experienced entrepreneur who is invested in your growth and success. Your mentor can help you improve your business planning, performance and productivity. Mentoring builds accountability and confidence in your skills as a small business owner.

We are excited to partner with MicroMentor, an online platform that connects entrepreneurs with volunteer mentors. Why do these mentors choose to volunteer? To pay it forward—because someone stepped into their lives and helped to mentor them, just like they want to do for you. We're excited to welcome members from the Justine Petersen community, in joining other mentors and entrepreneurs changing lives, one connection at a time through MicroMentor.
