TESTIMONIALS
JOHN CARTER

As an entrepreneur little means more to me than results — and Rick delivered. An optimist could have viewed my company as one with great promise. The realist however would note that although there was a great deal of revenue, there was still red ink on the bottom line, looming debt, fragmented work processes, partner disputes, a staff growing weary of uncertainty, and me working night and day plagued by stress.
At the end of Rick's engagement not only had my top line grown, the bottom line increased to a world class level, all debt was extinguished, partnership disputes were settled to satisfaction by all, and staff efficiency and morale rose to a level so high that I am routinely sought after by much larger companies to find our "secret".
Most important is the dramatic improvement in my personal quality of life. Rick tapped, nurtured and developed my innermost leadership gifts to the extent that I spend up to half my time each year traveling abroad, pursuing my personal passions, and being with my family and friends.
I live a life today most of my contemporaries envy. When they ask, what is the "secret?" I tell them: Suspend your current beliefs on business, get in touch with Rick, and see the results!

I recommend Rick to friends and colleagues who feel as if they are running on empty and are uncertain as to what steps to take, or in which direction to head. Rick’s strengths are an almost uncanny ability to intuit a client’s issues, to articulate them clearly, to get someone to face themselves, and to offer new directions and attitudes that lead to clarity and action.

We want to thank Rick for growing our company, but more importantly allowing us to grow as individuals. We look forward to each and every time he walks in the door and know we will be that much greater by the end of the day. Rick is able to draw the participation of all employees from the bottom up, creating a very effective working environment. He held us as the principals to our vision and reinforced it along the way.
Our goals are always being driven and business results continue to be outstanding. A new showroom completed, a factory reorganized, a home store opened, a new furniture line launched, business systems revamped, our brand strengthened, and our gross profit doubled. All accomplished in 12 months! As a world-class furniture company, we really enjoy Rick's world-class collaboration.
