MILITARY ENTREPRENEUR TESTIMONIALS

“Mr. [B] was a great mentor.  He showed me a lot of care and concern even though he was at the climax of his own career.  He was a very confident individual and still took time out of his busy schedule to help me do what I needed to get done in order for me to become successful.”

“This program is exactly what I needed.  It connected me with industry experts who graciously gave me mentoring, coaching and on-going support.”

“I really needed to understand Linked In and the power of Social Media and he took me from heading down a dead-end road in the wrong direction, to establishing online credibility.  Six months ago, my mentor was a complete stranger, now, I can credit him with much of my recent success. With all of the unknowns and variables, why would anyone try to do it alone?  How much better is the experience and results from allowing someone to come along side and lend a hand!”
