Tom Jalovec
CEO and President
Laser Hunt-Laser Tag Corp.

The coaching program was exactly what I needed to get things going with my business. The coaching program guided me with the process of developing my business plan. The business plan is the first and I believe the most important part of any business. It is the testimonial of the owner of how dedicated they are to making their dreams come true. With this program, the dream was directed toward what others will need to see when it comes to business. Without this program, I would most likely be typing page one of my plan uncertain about the content in the plan. Again, the program provided me with the tools and guidance needed to get things going and going faster than initially thought.

Angela W.

A recent college graduate, Angela wanted to open her own art gallery in a small mid-western city. She needed funding to lease a space located in a newly-restored historical building, operating expenses and salaries. Not only would she be displaying art, she would offer classes to children and adults of all ages. Before she began her business plan, she made contact with a couple of her former art professors who were supportive of her efforts and committed to work with her to organize student art shows. With the help of a coach, her business plan took just two weeks to complete and within a few weeks, she was submitting to the Small Business Administration (SBA) and had a check in her hand.

James F.

Wanted to open a paint ball center in a small southern town. With the help of a coach, he researched and wrote a thorough business plan. His coach also helped him research all the information needed to submit a thorough application for a low interest government business loan. He was approved very quickly and is now in the process of building the facility.

Jessie B.

A female long haul trucker, Jessie wanted to purchase her own truck. When she finished her business plan, she told her coach, I'm glad you made me do the business plan. It made me think about things I hadn't thought about. Because of thinking through her plan, she, with the help of her coach, was able to work out a strategy for starting her own business over a period of months instead of trying to do it in a half-way fashion over a period of weeks, a strategy that would have caused nothing but frustration.

Joyce S.

Coach helped her find resources that would alleviate her immediate financial stresses, including help paying for expensive medicines that her insurance did not cover so she could eventually move onto starting her own lawn care business.

Gerard L.

After working with a coach for 10 weeks, he had a good business plan and was ready to start his business. However, he lived in a region of the country effected by hurricanes and had to put his plans on hold. The benefit to his being ready to go was that with the hurricane damage came new government funding and because he was patient, he was able to pursue new avenues of funding to get his business started.
