MARTINSVILLE MONDAYS:


Opening a business is no small feat. It can be challenging, stressful, and, at times, overwhelming. For over a decade, I dreamed of starting my own business, but those persistent feelings of fear and uncertainty held me back. That all changed when I met Michael Scales from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC).


Michael has a unique ability to transform anxiety into excitement, fear into ambition, and hesitation into confidence. His dedication to helping small businesses thrive and his commitment to the growth of our community are undeniable. It’s clear that for Michael, this isn’t just a job—it’s a passion.
