Hi there! My name is Steely Dipuccio and I'm offering 10 free hours of mentorship to one aspiring or current small business owner. Location and industry do not matter. Apply via the link below by August 30th, mentee will be announced on August 31st! APPLY HERE

A little bit about me, I am the Owner/Founder of Bon Vivant Delivered (dba Bon Vivant Gift Boxes) based in McKinney, TX. We offer thoughtfully curated + custom gifts for every occasion and have been in business since 2016. We recently celebrated our 10 year anniversary on August 1st, which is an exciting milestone and incredibly hard to believe. I really had no idea what I was doing when I started this business and have learned SO much over the last decade as the sole proprietor. I have a ton of knowledge in my industry specifically, but I also have first-hand experience handling all of the responsibilities that come with starting, owning and running a small business. I am so excited to use my experience and knowledge to help an aspiring or current small business owner take the next steps. One of the biggest regrets that I have is not seeking out a mentor in the beginning (because I was too afraid to ask and didn't want to "burden" someone else). The truth is, being a solo entrepreneur can feel isolating and I think we all crave someone to talk to that gets it. So, even if you are just looking for someone to bounce ideas off of or vent to about current challenges, I am happy to listen and give my *solicited* advice.

To be fully transparent, before you take the time to complete this questionnaire, in no particular order I'll list out my strongest skills and areas where I feel I can be a good mentor - but we're not limited to these!
