NAWBO-OC has extended our educational and developmental programs by offering SUCCESS Teams to complement our mentoring and business training curriculum. Unlike other programs of this type, we offer this to members without restriction on company earnings, at a fraction the price of other programs.
“I joined the Success Team right after becoming a member of NAWBO. It was one of my best decisions. I experienced tremendous growth and support both personally and professionally. An unexpected side benefit were the wonderful friendships that naturally resulted. I felt it so essential that I participated a second time as well!” Denise Konte Konte Media
A SUCCESS Team is a group of 8-10 business owners who meet regularly, to use their combined knowledge, experience, and energy to support each other’s business success. Each group is facilitated by a trained and experienced business coach and will meet twice per month, once in person and once via conference call.

“What I like about the Success Team is that we can bounce ideas off each other and come up with a variety of resolutions. It was instrumental in coming up with a marketing phrase for my business, and I could contribute to their financial questions. It was a win win for everyone on the team.” Chris Lange
