One on One Get Started Help 
Annual members receive complimentary live “one on one” get started help that can be used to ask questions about the site or its tools or as a mini private consulting session to address issues or particular questions you may have about your horse business.

 Private Consulting  
There are some issues and business goals that are better addressed in a one on one private setting. For example: If your business is in serious financial trouble or - If you are starting a new business, developing a new product or service, or simply want to fast track your success - private consulting may be the answer.
