“Starting a business is difficult. It has been comforting and stabilizing to be able to talk to someone who is interested in my success and who has a wider view than I do. Carl has helped me through several situations where I was a little paralyzed with what I should do. He has been invaluable to me in these situations. It is very encouraging to know that Carl is interested in my success and that he wants to be a part of it and to help me grow to a mature company. I would absolutely recommend Carl to anyone who needs help developing their business, from startup to a mature business looking for new markets or new ways of doing things. Carl brings a tremendous amount of experience to the table and I have felt the benefit of that experience. His key strength is the ability to originate and implement change. Carl's philosophy is "Each of our clients must become successful if we are to be successful".”
