BUSINESS BUILDER, COACH & STRATEGIST

Howard helped our company propel forward and we’ll be forever grateful for his coaching, experience, and effort.

Within 30 days, Howard diagnosed and completely transformed the way we marketed and sold our software. He then went out on sales calls himself to make sure it worked face to face with our largest prospects. Within 6 months we closed four massive new clients that put our startup into profitability for the first time in 4 years. Our time with Howard was the single best investment we’ve ever made in the five-year history of this company.

I was genuinely impressed at how quickly I started to experience the value.

I have had multiple business breakthroughs since I started coaching with Howard and have been genuinely impressed at how quickly I started to experience the value. I’ve worked with many business coaches over the last 5 years and I have received more value from Howard in a few months than I did from the others in 5 years.

HOWARD IS MY SECRET WEAPON.

I retained Howard to help run and grow three different businesses I owned. Within 12 months, Howard’s counsel and direct management helped double the revenue in all three companies while decreasing expenses. His work culminated in the sale of 2 of those businesses for my asking, paid upfront and without an earn-out. A home run in my book! Howard advised and, more importantly, protected me before, during and after the transaction with the highest degree of integrity and skill.

Howard acted as my business partner when I didn’t have one.

He helped with big-picture visions and long-term strategies. I was struggling with an extremely difficult personnel issue, Howard was there and acted as a mediator and counselor. It was one of the most stressful times in my life and I’m so glad Howard was there with a listening ear and helpful guidance. Heads of businesses need someone they can confide in and get sound advice from. As they say, “It’s lonely at the top” and that is all too true. Don’t struggle and try to go through hard times on your own.

–Carrie Atkinson
Founder, Sock It To Me Inc.

I have been approached by countless business coaches wanting to work with me but they all lacked the hardcore business experience that I so needed and wanted.

Howard brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and ability that has helped me to grow and get out of my comfort zone to great effect. Howard gets it, which gives me an edge, advantage and confidence in whatever is going on in my business at any given time. If you are serious about your business and are looking to be pushed in just the right kind of way then Howard is your guy.

Building a business is awesome! Running a grown-up business sucks.

But how to do that? How to generate buy-in internally? When to hire the right people? What to invest in now to generate the long-term return?

Howard’s skill is advising me as the owner. Taking my phone call morning or night. Giving me straight answers. Spare me another expert who wants to tell me what to do. Howard talked with me like another owner who knew firsthand my fears of taking the wrong step. Imagine paying for your own sanity back. Plus double-digit returns in the company! That’s working with Howard.

CEO, The Hello Foundation

Howard has been instrumental in helping me through the next phase of my entrepreneurial journey.

He has a unique ability to cut through the noise and ask the relevant and sometimes hard questions, that helps one identify their unique 'craft'. His business acumen and personal insight have amplified my thinking and I've made significant progress, and changes, both personally and within the business. I would unequivocally recommend Howard to business owners, who have had a degree of success and are now contemplating the definition of fulfillment and success in the next stage.
