Winter Seminar Schedule

John's communication skills, ideas, experience, handouts were exceptional. This armed me with reality about (the) business...this class was better than the two years I spent getting my MBA.
Paula Royalty, Bellevue, WA

I ran global product management, marketing and sales operations for several Silicon-Valley based, high-tech companies. Even with that experience, I learned more about international trade in your one-day course than in the last 25 years. It was fantastic!

Great thank you John! Loving your course, what's so interesting is as the learning happens my motivation and sheer excitement grows simultaneously! Thank you again!

As always, my wife and I want to express our gratitude towards you & the help you have given us.  You definitely gave us the helpful "push" & guidance needed for two people who are very new to this type of business.

Everything that I initially thought about starting this import business has been completely changed, it's good that all this was done before I invested money.  I am back at the design phase to see if there is a product I can design that the market will accept.  I initially thought about fashion because I thought that it was profitable, however I really don't know anything about the fashion industry and don't have the passion for it.  I am a CPA and this is what my area of expertise is, I will go back to square one and think about designing something for an industry I know a lot about and have a passion for.
