TOPCHIYSKA.COM
I offer entrepreneurship and small business consulting for underepresented groups, especially women, immigrants, and youth. In addition, I assist rural areas across the U.S with the creation of efficient and resourceful ecosystem. I am also a small online business owner.
I consider myself to be a realist and realistically it takes one week to register a business (LLC), one-two weeks to build a website, and then you have four-five weeks to keep improving your service and make your first sale. The point of owning a business is to earn money, offer necessary service/product to your community, and sustain it, right?
The difference in the consulting services I offer is that the information and guidance you receive are tailored to you. It does not come from the same bucket as it did for the entrepreneurs before you. Research, resources, connections, strategies, and the startup foundation for your business are there just for you.
