"Thank you for the great job you did for the past four months during your consulting contract as the Virtual Chief Operating Officer of Internet Community Concepts!

As I have mentioned to you several times, you are one of the best business persons I have come across in more than 23 years of starting and running my various businesses. The breadth and depth of your insights and acumen, your consistently cool and logical problem solving abilities, your quick and decisive "dragon slaying" and your management style - along with your honesty, integrity, outstanding charisma and leadership skills, have continually impressed me as you have used those talents to help ICC.

Between your work on our business plan, establishing our web presence, bringing focus to our systems, procedures and management approach, dealing with securities law issues, handling operations, doing "whatever it took" to get the job done, and meeting every commitment - on time - that you ever made, it has been a real pleasure working with you.

As I have also mentioned to you several times during the past four months, you have been a stabilizing force that has kept the company together as we have moved forward toward our ultimate goals for success.

My only two regrets are that we didn't hire you a year earlier - and that I have not been able to convince you, yet, to become the company's full time CEO!"

- Internet Community Concepts

The Special Ingredient

Having worked with 2,000 clients is a key reason you might consider my services for your own venture - it is the special ingredient and major differentiator that gives me tremendous insights that could greatly benefit your company. 

In addition to all that I learned from earning my degree in Engineering Physics, my MBA and my post graduate work in Computer Science, I learned Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!volumes more about people and business from starting and operating four dozen of my own companies.

Beyond all of that, I've also accumulated even more volumes of immense additional experiences, insights, epiphanies and expertise from 15 years of working closely with 2,000 diverse client companies and entrepreneurs in almost every conceivable industry – learning each company’s detailed, inside moving parts and helping each of them slay their own multitude of dragons. 

That's TWO THOUSAND companies. 

And it's not just superficial stuff like selling them a copy machine and then walking away.  Instead, it is working directly one-on-one with 2,000 individual CEOs and entrepreneurs - understanding each of their visions and strategies - seeing the inside workings of their companies - crystallizing what may be only a fuzzy business model - developing action-item tactics that fit their strategies - helping them fix what may be broken - redesigning what may not fit - all of it with the goal of accelerating the successful implementation of each of their visions.

(Click Recent for a sampling of client industries and international locations.)

One thing I've learned is that every company is unique. Their combination of mission, market focus, product and service mix, corporate culture, cash requirements, approach to problem solving, strengths, weaknesses - all of it, and more, help to uniquely define each one.

Another thing that I've learned is that most have the same issues and dragons that you may face: cash flow, sales, marketing, personnel issues, raising capital, juggling priorities, managing growth, missing puzzle pieces - and too little time to get it all done. 

When you work with two thousand very bright and visionary CEOs,Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash! entrepreneurs and founders, you can't help but learn an immense amount about business from each of them - if you pay attention.

With each new client, I learned more - which helped me compound my knowledge and offer even more insights and epiphanies to my next clients.

Consulting with each of these TWO THOUSAND companies and their CEOs has worked like compound interest - helping me build on my own knowledge base, my own expertise, so that my services have become even more valuable to each of my new clients.

   "The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest”
                                                         - Albert Einstein

This compound interest that I've earned from "The Two Thousand" really IS the special and essential ingredient in my services. An ingredient that you simply cannot get in school earning an MBA.  An ingredient that you cannot get from just working for a few employers or with a few consulting clients.

How powerful is the compounding effect of 2,000?  Well, if you take a penny and compound it at only 1% two thousand times, your penny becomes almost $4.4 million ($4,393,862 to be precise.)  That's 440 million times what you started with! Now, THAT is a rip roaring ROI!

(Note: The compounding of 1 penny at 1% only gets you to $210 after 1,000 times - so
going all the way to 2,000 makes a major impact. The same is true for consultants!)

What if I only learned that same 1% more - from each of those two thousand client companies and high-creative entrepreneurs?  Think about how many more volumes of experience, knowledge and wisdom that I've gained about start up and emerging companies than I knew before!

Can you see how that Compound KnowledgeTM, that aggregate experience and expertise, gives me a special, rare ingredient over my competitors - one that can massively help me help you improve the odds of success for you and your own start up and emerging company?

The good news is that all of this aggregate experience and expertise - including all of the Compound Knowledge that I've gained over the past three decades - is now available to you and your company - on a very cost-effective hourly basis.

“We hired Robert Goodman on two separate occasions as a business consultant. Each time he has provided superior service and outstanding results.

Roberts’s keen insight into the unforeseen complexities of corporate business; as well as, his ability to communicate these obstacles in a strategic plan is second to none.

Because of Robert’s extremely diverse background he is able to roadmap very detailed and easy to follow guidelines that greatly improve upon the mission trajectory. Robert is a very intelligent and gifted individual that any company would benefit from his involvement.

Through Robert’s involvement our company was selected in 2004 by Silicon Valley Bank as one of the top ten emerging technology companies in the United States. Robert provided the business and financial plans that were presented to the venture capital panel which eventually lead to People Soft giving us a verbal commitment of involvement.

We were highly praised on our preparation and presentation because of Robert Goodman. I am reminded of the words of Jim Abrams; “A smart businessperson is one who makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes it again. A wise businessperson is one who finds a smart businessperson and learns from him how to avoid the mistakes he made.”

I would recommend Robert to any company that believes they could benefit from an honest, extremely intelligent, effective leader.”

Here's What Else You Will Be Getting

Epiphanies.

My goal with everything I offer, everything I do, with Virtual-Exec Service, and all my other services, is to give you what I call Epiphanies for Implementation. Just one epiphany, just one insight, just one single idea, just one “Ah ha…” can be worth thousands, tens of thousand, hundreds of thousands of dollars for you and your company.

  • These can be offensive epiphanies such as increasing revenues or new product ideas…or finding your funding even quicker.
     

  • These can be defensive epiphanies such as cheaper cost of goods, lower expenses from operations, slaying start up company dragons, avoiding securities law violation and jail time.

Look for those epiphanies in everything you do, in all the training you take, all the consulting you use – whether with me or with someone else. It is the power of these incremental epiphanies that make continuing education and consulting and mentoring services so helpful - and help you add to your own Compound KnowledgeTMVirtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!

This Compound KnowledgeTM is especially impactful for those students, those mentees, who pay close attention and are constantly thinking, “How can I use any part of this specific part to improve or accelerate what I am doing?  How can I use it to keep from making an expensive or critical mistake?”

Usually, you will find a lot more than just one epiphany – especially in services like these – if you can simultaneously listen and participate both convergently AND divergently.

  • Divergently – consider any and all ways an idea or thought might expand the scope of what you're currently thinking.
     

  • Convergently – consider any and all ways an idea or thought might tightly apply to what you are already doing and planning, to make it better, faster or more profitable.

My goal with my Virtual-Exec Mentoring & Consulting is to generate as many epiphanies as I can for every client.  But, as I said, it requires your divergent and convergent participation!

My intuition is that you will see overwhelming benefits from all that you learn, and all the epiphanies you gain, from my mentoring….total benefits, when you add them all up, that are worth MANY times the amount you invest in the fees for my services.

My hope is that all of these benefits will give you a GREAT ROI on your investment…. and the ideas and action plans we generate together GREATLY increase your probability of not only surviving - but thriving with your company!

"I chose Robert Lee Goodman to help me with developing a new business plan (critical to the funding of my company's 2nd round of equity financing) based upon previous recommendations -- which were outstanding. Now I know why every one of Robert's previous clients was so enthusiastic about the service they received. I highly, highly recommend Robert if you are serious about the future of your business planning!"

Here's What You Won't Be Getting

Now that you've seen my background, experience and expertise, here's what you won't be getting:

  • You won't get hype about how to get rich quick from starting a new company.  Starting a new company, online or offline, is a LOT of hard work with dragons galore. But it can also be one of the most fulfilling and profitable endeavors of your life, too.Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!

    What you will get is no-nonsense mentoring and consulting that will teach you what you need to know to avoid a lot of deadly dragons and how to keep others from hatching - so you can make it all the way to fulfillment of your unique vision.
     

  • You won't get empty rhetorical rah-rah and worthless woo-woo "feel good" platitudes (those are the scientific, MBA terms!).  While I whole-heartedly agree that positive optimism is a key and critical part of getting positive results, it has to be action-based. My mentoring and consulting will be roll-up-your-sleeves, sword-slinging sessions of slaying dragons with measurable, actionable milestones for results.
     

  • You won't get advice from some freshly minted MBA who has never actually done it. My own Presidential / Key Executive MBA is seasoned and amplified by 30 years of CEO-level experience. Likewise, your work with Virtual-Exec will not be outsourced - either domestically or off shore.

With Virtual-Exec Service, you will benefit directly from my three decades of personal hands-on experience conceiving, forming, founding, funding and building nearly 4 dozen corporations, joint ventures and partnerships. 

You also will benefit greatly from my own Compound Knowledge that I've earned while helping, on a one-on-one basis, nearly 2,000 diverse companies in over three dozen countries on six out of seven continents with their business planning, fundraising and plan implementation. (I am offering a substantial discount for my first client based in Antarctica!)

"The services that Robert Lee Goodman provides have been incredible. Robert has added wisdom and experience that my company needs to truly be successful. Best of all, his work demonstrates his dedication to the success of his clients. Now that the first segment of our project is complete, I have retained Robert to assist me with the complete implementation of our business plan. When something works this well, I stay with it!"

It  IS  Lonely At The Top 

Who do you turn to, as a start up or emerging company CEO or founder - for sound business advice, for a different perspective, for efficient brainstorming, for help with your dragon slaying?  Who do you use as a mentor and trusted Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!advisor, who can give you objective, one-on-one, confidential and experiential help with your own company? 

For many CEOs and owners, it really IS lonely at the top.   

I’ve successfully helped many hundreds of clients answer exactly these kinds of questions and slay these kinds of dragons. 

Which ones are causing you the most grief today? 

What other dragons, specific to you and your company, are also blocking your success? 

"Robert is a great resource for myself and our new business. He is professional, timely, and knows all of the best questions to ask. We now have an advantage because he understands our model, knows our goals, and will be a part of our team moving forward. "

Individual and Personalized Mentoring & Consulting

Hourly Mentoring

With my 30 years of achievement, experience and an MBA from a top-rated, world class program, I have the background, credentials and capabilities to help your company fight your own, very specific dragons.   

  • Although many offer management consulting services – very few have my three decades of direct, hands-on CEO-level experience of actually conceptualizing, starting, staffing, funding and operating four dozen, multi-industry companies – experiences that can directly benefit the quality and reality of your own business planning. 
     
  • If you select my individualized management consulting service, I will be the one working with you - with this service, your business will not be delegated to a junior-level staffer with a new MBA. My own Presidential / Key Executive MBA is seasoned and amplified by 30 years of CEO-level experience. 
     
  • Does it REALLY make sense for you to risk all the time, effort and money you intend on investing in your new venture by choosing a cheaper, less experienced approach for your business planning and mentoring? 
     
  • Or, does it make much more abundant sense to choose a business planning consultant and mentor who is a proven, successful entrepreneur - someone who has raised over $25 Million from angel investors and venture capitalists? 
     
  • Shouldn't you choose a proven expert who can both coach you with practical advice and who can genuinely help guide you and your new company past all those dragons and other obstacles that currently stand between your company's present and the successful future you envision?

I invite you to check out my profile for details on my background, credentials and experience.

I have found during my past 15 years of consulting with start up and emerging companies that many dragons can be slayed with just a few hours of mentoring.  Often, it just takes one or two insights and epiphanies to get my clients past those dragons and much farther down their path toward achieving their goals.

Get Help Now 

The power of these quick insights is why I offer my clients my hourly Mentoring Service.   

Are there other issues, problems or opportunities you would like to brainstorm about your company? Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!

Below, you can usually sign up for as little as one hour of mentoring. Once you sign up, we can immediately schedule a teleconference to discuss your dragons and your goals. 

Of course, we can’t solve every problem, and slay every dragon, in only an hour or two – but, together, we might be able to efficiently brainstorm some quick answers for you – and a genuinely implementable action plan – that will get you past these pesky dragons and get you closer to your vision of success. 

Reserve your brainstorming and mentoring time now. 

Limited Availability

One-on-one mentoring and dragon slaying is probably the most enjoyable part of my Virtual-Exec Service for me.  I love the rapid fire brainstorming and efficient problem solving with my clients – and being able to provide so much pivotal help in such a short period of time.   

If you, and your own company, could benefit from this individualized service, I offer this mentoring in one, two and five hour increments of time.

(My standard billing rate is $275 per hour for Standard Service, $390 per hour for Priority Service and $550 per hour for Top Priority Service. Time billed in quarter-hour billing increments. Please see Queue for a detailed description of the three levels of service.)

However, my availability for one-on-one mentoring can be very limited due to my other client, corporate and personal commitments and time requirements.  Hence, some of my mentoring options may be unavailable at any given time.   

Reserve Your Time Slot Now!

To reserve your consulting time slot, please click one of the following links that best suits your needs.  Make sure you allow the pop up window with your browser.

Note: if one or more of the following links don't work, it is because that particular 1:1 Consulting and Mentoring Service is currently unavailable for one or more of the above reasons.  Also, Priority and Top Priority Service receive preferential scheduling.

Just Need A Few Quick Answers? 
Curro Consulting (Latin for Hurry) As Your Cost-Effective Approach

Do you have a very limited budget - but just need a few quick answers to some very specific questions to get you "unstuck" - so you can keep moving toward your own personal Point B? 

Based on my email in-box, this current recession has created a lot of these situations for folks who can't seem to get past certain sticking points - but they don't have a lot of money to get the right answers - even though they absolutely need their answers NOW.

In response to this kind of need, I am now offering a very limited number of hours per month to help entrepreneurs at the Half Hour level for a total cost of only $150.00 for each 30 minute session.  No ongoing obligation of any kind. Just my way of helping to "Unstick The Stuck" even in this economy! 

Note though that 30 minutes goes very fast - so be sure and have your questions fully formed in order to get the most out of your time.  If you do this homework, we can usually accomplish a lot in 30 minutes that might, just maybe, be all that you need to get you back on track, back to making measurable forward movement toward your personal Point B.

Scheduling Your Mentoring

Once you prepay the retainer - we will schedule a mutually convenient time so that we can get started right away!  Just click one of the above links that best suits your needs.

Virtual Chief Operating Officer Service
Virtual Executive Service

Is one of my personal pet peeves similar to yours: getting pitched products and services when they won't tell you the price, up front? 

I believe it just makes sense, for everyone, to be candid and fully transparent when it comes to pricing.  That's why I lay out my fee structure so clearly.  This way, you can quickly make an informed decision about how much an investment in my services will cost - and how easily you can include that investment in your own monthly payroll or operating budgets.

Although my current billing rate is $275 per hour for Standard Service, my Virtual-COO Service and Virtual-Executive Service require a higher level of involvement and time requirement in your company than my Mentoring Service.

As a consequence, I can provide services to your company at the following reduced rates, plus out-of-pocket expenses, based on the minimum committed number of hours per month shown: Virtual Executive Service from Ceo Resource - Virtual-Exec With A Dash!

  • 05 - 10 hours / month - $275 / hour
    Priority Service at no extra charge
     
  • 11 - 20 hours / month - $250 / hour
    Priority Service at no extra charge
     
  • 21 - 30 hours / month - $225 / hour
    Priority Service at no extra charge
     
  • 31 - 50 hours / month - $200 / hour
    Priority Service at no extra charge

If you need over 50 hours / month, please contact me so that we can discuss your specific needs and my current availability.

For example, say you choose 20 hours per month of my Virtual-Exec Service.  This would equate to only a relatively minor $5,000 per month increase in your payroll - a small price to pay in exchange for very senior-level experience and expertise on your payroll - for only as long as you need (minimum of 90 days, maximum of 365 days) and without any of the usual overhead costs.

One major benefit of selecting the Virtual-COO / Virtual-Exec Service over my Mentoring Service is that my weekly commitment of time to you will be treated as Priority Service instead of Standard Service.  This way, instead of paying 42% to 95% more for Priority Service, you get upgraded for free

Powered-Wig Legalese On

The above options are subject to my availability and assume the following terms, in addition to, and superseding, my standard terms and conditions, and are subject to change and withdrawal prior to any mutual agreement and implementation:

  • The minimum committed number of hours per month would be paid, whether used by your company or not, for a minimum period of 90 days to a maximum of one year. Cancel at any time after that with only 30 days notice.
  • Fees for actual hours billed (for the minimum committed number of hours per month, plus any out-of-pocket expenses, plus any additional hours for the prior month) would be paid within three days of the start of each ensuing month.
  • Any time over and above the minimum committed number of hours per month would be on an "as needed" and "as available" basis, and billed at the same committed hourly rate.
  • Note: Please be aware that additional hours beyond the minimum committed number of hours per month may not be available even if needed - due to my other client, corporate and personal commitments. To help ensure my availability for your company, please adjust your minimum committed hours to match your best estimates for your needs for my services.
  • A retainer of first and last month's expected billing would be paid at the beginning of the engagement and used toward payment of the last month's amount due at the end of the engagement.
  • Payment would be made to Ceo Resource LLC, as an independent consultant, so you would have no payroll overhead or benefits associated with my services.
