Kat wanted assistance from someone with knowledge and experience in running a business. That's exactly what Kat found as she [worked with her SCORE mentor](. “Making decisions in isolation is really intimidating. Having a mentor with experience who reflects back on my sound ideas and prompts me to question assumptions was what I was seeking." — Kat Johnson Maybe that's what you need. Like Kat, you might want support in figuring out the financial aspects of making your dream a reality.

You may want to develop a relationship with your mentor that lasts and grows with your company. [Working with her mentor]( paid off for Kat. They used SCORE cashflow templates to understand where the farm stood financially and completed loan applications to secure the appropriate funding for future growth. Kat is especially proud of the fact that her farm met all the financial projections the very first year she was in business.

People are amazed by the quality and volume of greens she uses for her salad subscription service customers.
