"Thank you for the great job you did

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!"

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
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, 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 KnowledgeTM. 
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

plan (critical to the
funding of my company's 2nd
round of equity financing)
based upon previous

previous clients was so
enthusiastic about the
service they received. I

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.
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
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? 
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.

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:

- 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.

minimum committed hours to match
your best estimates for your
needs for my services.

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.

Cost-Effective Compound KnowledgeTM
and Dragon Slaying
I hate
seeing companies
fail - especially when,
with the right timely guidance
and mentoring, they
would have not only survived - but also
thrived.
How can
my accumulated
Compound Knowledge most
help your company, right here, right
now?
What
will it cost you, and your organization,
in lost revenues and wasted time, by NOT
having this kind of broad, senior-level
executive experience and expertise on
YOUR team right
NOW?
With
telephone, fax and email, I can often
help slay many of your dragons from afar
- minimizing costs and reducing, if not
eliminating, travel expenses. Even if
you use my Virtual-Exec
Service or my Virtual-COO Service for just a few
hours a month, I can likely still make a
significant difference in your company's
effectiveness and profitability.
With my
Virtual-Exec and
Virtual-COO
Services, I will help you identify the
most dangerous dragons
threatening your
organization, derive solutions and
implement the most necessary actions
within mutually agreed guidelines and
budgets.
Ready for Action or Still Have
Questions?
Contact me today to discuss how
my mentoring and virtual executive
services can help you and your company
better succeed.
Best wishes for stellar success,

Robert Lee Goodman, MBA
