	It can feel daunting and perhaps lonely to start a new business. So where can you turn for some friendly advice and seasoned experience?



	It turns out there are hundreds of retired executives in Connecticut who offer free counseling services to small business. They're known as SCORE.



	WNPR's Harriet Jones sat down with four SCORE counselors, Dennis Peoples, Nazz Paciotti, Joe Beerbower and Eric Steinmetz, who have a pretty good perspective on what small business people do right...and wrong...when getting started.

	We don’t tell anyone they have a bad idea. But you have to gather the information, and your learning curve is totally vertical.
