Tom,
"I attended a seminar you presented
at the UAA/Alaska BizFair a few years ago, when I was fairly
new in my own business. Business had been fairly slow up to that
point and I was at that critical stage of wondering if I would
really be able to make a go of it.
I took a lot of notes at the seminar,
and also purchased your two books while there. I took the books
home and read them. Then I re-read them, and re-re-read them;
I guess you could say they became my Bibles of business.
Anyway to make a long story short: By
following your advice, I have been able to grow my business by
well over 100% each year since then, each year better than the
previous.
In 2005 my business grew more than
189% compared to 2004. Of
course I am now making quite a lot more by being self-employed
than if I had stayed in my old job. I still re-read your books
every few months or when I need more inspiration or ideas, or
just to review.
Others have asked me about the secret
to my success in a field where so many others fail, and I tell
them about your seminars and books because I truly believe I
would not be where I am today if I had not attended that seminar."
Once again, thanks!
Sincerely,
Anne Pyles

Thank you for participating in the SBA's
