“As an entrepreneur, I was grateful to have been mentored by Jim on several occasions. Not only does he possess a wealth of knowledge but more importantly, he gets you. I always felt so comfortable and cared about in our conversations over the years. He has such a warmth and genuineness about him and his passion for helping entrepreneurs reach their goals is unrelenting. He is a rare breed and a huge contribution to the success of everyone he meets. Thanks for all you do Jim!”
