Testimonials
“When I first started, my business was in the very early ‘idea’ phase. Going through the process of writing a business plan and presenting it to my class and my HOPE coach for feedback helped me to focus on what I wanted to do.”
“Operation HOPE found me while I was driving Uber in Sarasota. A passenger saw my business ad and asked how things were going. I said, “could be better.” He shared HOPE’s info — I followed up, and it led me to a mentor who changed everything.”
“There is no right time. It’s just having the right idea and you just can start and you can still learn on the way.”
