Cynthia Franzolin, founder of Therayology, knows firsthand the impact of expert guidance on business success. Five years ago, she started her company with a passion for mental health but struggled to navigate the complexities of running a business. That changed when the Latino Chamber of Commerce connected her with SCORE.

With the help of her SCORE mentors, Cynthia turned her vision into a solid business plan, learned crucial skills like negotiation and developed a clear strategy for growth. One of the most transformative changes was hiring a practice coordinator, which allowed Cynthia to focus on expanding her team and services. Now, Therayology is thriving, with a growing team of clinicians and initiatives to make mental health care more accessible in her community. Cynthia credits her progress to SCORE’s mentorship, saying, “I wouldn’t be where I am today without their support.”

Are you ready to take your business to the next level? SCORE offers a wealth of valuable resources to help you succeed, and our experienced mentors are here to guide you every step of the way. ➡ https://score.org/muskegon

Shakia Williams turned her passion for wine into a thriving business with Cyrenity Sips, a micro-winery and the first Black woman-owned wine tasting room. Starting in her garage in 2017, Shakia now produces hundreds of cases annually with her daughter Cyan serving as the tasting room manager.

Taking the leap from home winemaker to business owner wasn’t easy, so she turned to SCORE for guidance. With SCORE's support, she refined her business plan, grew her revenue by 15 percent and set strategic goals for the future. Whether it’s crafting unique wine varieties like Blue Hawaiian or creating custom labels, Shakia’s commitment to quality and community is unwavering. “Our winery is more than just a place to enjoy fine wine; it’s a hub for diversity and education,” she says.
