I was fortunate to have met and worked for Dan and Mark. People that are looking to start their own business, grow their own business, or have access to outstanding tools and resources are privileged to have the ability to be a part. The site and features speak for themselves, however even more you have the highest quality people running this company. Dan and Mark are winners and business and care about helping others achieve their goals in whatever stage of their business. I am glad people have a place that the owners are passionate about helping provide the best resources for us. Bryan Walker

Personal Profile

About Me:

BACKGROUND
I have been an entrepreneur my whole life. As a kid, I cut lawns, shoveled snow and sold baseball cards. Whenever I played backyard football or baseball with friends, I was the one who set the time, chose the field and invited all of my friends to play. I didn't know it at the time, but I WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR.

Although many entrepreneurs develop young, it is never too late to learn. Many of the world's greatest entrepreneurs made the transition from employee to business owner by recognizing a need, creating a vision and pursuing it with conviction. It's really that simple.

Over the years, I have owned numerous businesses, including restaurants, bars, concert venues, magazines, web sites and a production company. I've started businesses with no money, and I've worked with investors. There is no better education than experiencing it yourself!

PERFECTBUSINESS
There are millions of people who dream about launching their own businesses. It is the American Dream. Many people have great ideas but simply don't know where to begin. This is why PerfectBusiness was created.

This site will help you to evaluate your business ideas and show you how to make your vision happen. It is more than a social networking site. PerfectBusiness is where entrepreneurs can make connections, learn from one another, raise capital and proactively start businesses. Our hard content, exclusive videos, pitch center and interactive step-by-step tools set us apart from simple networking sites.

Please share your success stories with us, because that's what this is all about!

Dan:

I want to thank you for your generosity of sharing your ideas and experience with other entrepreneurs. As a 62 year old entrepreneur who has "been around the cup" I tend to "cut to the chase". I joined this site upon returning from business in New Mexico and reading an article in the magazine on the airplane about "The Perfect Pitch". I believed that since we just started a wedding event center last year and our volume went from $342,000 to $600,000 within 18 months, that I would be able to end up as one of the finalists in the "Pitch" on October 26. That was NOT the case.

However, with your critique and encouragement and sometimes being able to "put the stick of dynamite under my backside" I have recently been able to identify an additional opportunity and that is thanks to your objective input. You can see on our website of www.historicjordansprings.com that we own these 237 acres of land and 48,000 square foot of buildings and as of today I am aggressively going after VCs, partners or financial backers for a larger project here, especially since we are just west of Washington D.C. and sitting on this valuable asset.

I will continue to use the information on this site and realize that I have not even "touched the tip of the iceberg" as far as what you have made available through your site.

I thank you again for everything and look forward to personally meeting you at some point in the future.

Sincerely

Greig Aitken

Dan,

I must say this site has been the most productive, most real time, and most effective business networking social site that I have ever used. And I use them all. I have closed business, met wonderful people, had incredible strait to the point emails about the topic I am most interested in, my service to other businesses. I am very happy with the results here and have been telling people about it, especially on my Face Book page.

Thank you so much, I would love to learn how to be featured.

Thanks,

Thanks for the information Dan, it definitely helps.

On a side note, I really enjoy being a part of Perfect Business. I tell every person I meet that has an interest in starting a business to join your web site. It has to be the next best thing to having a personal mentor. I am currently using the Business Plan program to assist in my business. It alone is worth paying for the membership. Thanks again.

Thanks Dan you have been wonderful! Just wanted to share a little poem I wrote back in 85. Larry

AMBITION
By: Larry L. Hayden Jr.
8/24/85
Ambition, Ambition, is the key to the door of success no matter what feild it may be
People work hard and strive with ambition and all of their being just to succeed
Some people giggle and laugh and say, hey you can't make money that way
What they do not know is Walt Disney did it with one mouse and so can you
Don't listen to them and forget the giggles and strive with ambition in all you do
Maybe they are just jealous because you have ambition and want to succeed?
So let them laugh and let them giggle, with ambition and success you will play the fiddle!
Ambition, Ambition, is the key to the door of success no matter what feild it may be
Ambition, Ambition, Ambition, Ambition, Ambition, Ambition is the word for me!
With Ambition you will Succeed! Ambition!

Dan, I want to thank you. I was at a standstill with my company when I found the PerfectBusiness web site. I did not have the knowledge to move on. I bought templates and tried to write a business plan but it just was not working out. After getting the Gold membership from the PerfectBusiness, my plan started coming together. Using PerfectBusiness I gained the information I needed to put together a pitch and a contact list and start on a real live business plan. It was really great to have the pages already set up for me and with suggestions of what to focus on in each portion of my plan. The feed back I have received has also been very helpful, I know for a fact that the business plan builder helped me put together a plan that is real and investors can now see the total picture of my company. Keep up the good work. Jack Softley/ National Energy Modifications.
