FOLEY, Alabama -- The Women's Business Center, Inc. will sponsor Success Circles. Business success happens when you have someone to guide you. But where can a woman business owner tap into the knowledge, experience and one-on-one support she needs to help your business grow? Through a Success Circle!

Success Circles help the start-up entrepreneurial women build on the legacy of successful women business owners, learning from the mistakes and achievements of others.

What is a mentor?

Mentors are women business owners willing to give back to their communities by assisting other women ready to grow their businesses. Mentors come from legal, financial or other professions, providing guidance, advice, and training to new women entrepreneurs and most importantly, serve as respected role models.

What is a Protégé?

Protégées are new women business owners, eager to learn from entrepreneurs with more experience and expertise.

To continue the momentum women business owners have built in the past decade, we must build our own support system. Success Circles is that vehicle.

Success Circles will be held on Feb. 2 from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. at Bryant Bank, 1350 N. McKenzie Street in Foley. This event features monthly roundtable discussion of topics and challenges for women in business. There is no charge to attend this class. To register, call the Women's Business Center, Inc. at 251-660-2725, or email womensbusinesscenter@ceebic.org.
