“Your program and process are powerful and one that any business owner, manager, or professional will find well worth the investment. I was immediately able to apply some of the concepts learned and realize that I can take my business and personal life to much higher levels. I believe greater success in all areas of life will be achieved for those attending your program.”
—Shawn W., CPA, Partner

“I see the benefits of your program as I am working with my clients who are too busy doing their business to effectively run their business...This constant pressure to “do the work” prevents them from working on their business to become more profitable and to work smarter and make more money in the process...I would not hesitate to recommend the process to any of my clients and business associates who are struggling with balancing business and personal lives.”
—Dave E., CPA, Partner

“My expectations for this program were exceeded on the first day...It is my pleasure to recommend this program to anyone who is like me and trying to balance a growing career with too few hours in the day. I have already seen changes in myself and look forward to the changes to come.”
—Carrie W., CPA, Partner

“I have never been involved in anything like it (your program) that can so substantially benefit me in both my personal and professional life...I have found the Planner to be a terrific tool for putting plans into action and reinforcing the accountability of this program. I believe everyone that employs this program will reap huge benefits in all areas of their lives by applying the concepts presented in the sessions. The two years I have spent with the process have had tremendous impact on both my professional and personal life. During my two-year period of participation in the process, I was promoted to Partner in my CPA firm. This represents a major career achievement for me. Along with that, I have seen tangible results in terms of the growth of business and revenues in my client base. Your program had direct impact in both of these areas. Everyone who embraces the process and the accountability aspect will benefit in more ways than they can imagine. I am pleased to recommend this program to my clients and business associates who are looking to improve their businesses, as well as their personal lives.”

“The primary item that I have gained from the process is ‘Focus’. My experience through the process has been to become more focused on what is really important to me, and more focused on what my values are, and more focused on what I want to accomplish in my life...I have direction! I have a path to take, and a path that I have created for myself. The self-assurance that I have gained from taking control of my own direction is a great thing.
