TCRE
is a community that links entrepreneurs with the information and
technical assistance they need to be successful, regardless of where
they are in developing their business venture, where they live and
work, or what their next challenge or opportunity might be.
We
do this by creating social networking opportunities that link
entrepreneurs with their peers and with resource providers offering a
variety of services and forms of assistance. Initial efforts will
utilize several methods that facilitate discussions and networking
including: this web site, GuideMyBusiness blog,
Facebook and the TCRE newsletter (see links in the right frame). We
just hope that at least one of these venues will prompt you to ask for
the assistance you need, to comment on the ideas of others and to
contribute from your knowledge and experiences of business venture
development. Please feel free to suggest other ways we can bring
entrepreneurs together both with other entrepreneurs and with those
providing technical assistance.
Business,
community, and economic development information is extremely plentiful
on the internet. There is no need to duplicate what others have
created. Our goal for TCRE.org is to add value to other sites, fill in
the gaps as we all find them, and help you utilize more fully the
information you do find. We also want to provide continuing education
opportunities in the form of learning lessons, webinars, fact sheets
and blog posts. We also hope this site will better prepare technical
assistance providers for their roles in helping entrepreneurs.
