Client Thoughts

A woman is looking up at the word cloud written on a chalkboard.
A business startup is a daunting task. I was pleased to meet Neil Anderson and learn what The Courage Group could do to help me launch my business. Neil not only provided encouragement, but also a wealth of practical information that I can tap into right now and as well as in the future. His services allowed me to focus on what I needed to get done. Thanks!”

“Most of the process of actually starting a business was not something I knew how to do. There is a certain fear that one has a hard time explaining when wanting to do something, but you’re not sure where to begin. What I found when working with Neil at The Courage Group are things that I know for a fact I couldn’t find with any type of legal counsel. He knows the feelings of starting something from scratch, he’s been through it and much more. Through an awesome system, he breaks things down to the important basics. In other words, he defines what to focus on and explains why. I can say with 100% certainty that if my business were to ever shut down and close, I would never ever regret working with Neil and The Courage Group. Some of the best client service and services that I have ever had the privilege of working with. So, choose The Courage Group for a smooth start-up process!”

“Thank you for the council, mentoring, and exceptional “best practice” approach to business startup. It has allowed me to stay focused on the business and consider future efforts around best “business startup” practices that have proven results. Your services were targeted, systematic and highly professional. I know it will pay big dividends as I help other organizations create their own “Roadmap to Excellence”. For business excellence! “
Donald W Hoffert

President, Roadmap to Excellence LLC.

“In starting any new project or venture, the unknowns can be overwhelming. Neil Anderson and The Courage Group were able to help me to understand what I needed to begin my own business and better yet, helped save me hours of researching by providing the right tools and documents and a clear concise roadmap to begin. For the first investment in my new company, this was money well spent.”
Syndie Cassidy

Founder/President, Wind In Sales-HR, Inc.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We have heard the phrase many times and it is true about ninety-nine percent of the time. Neil Anderson, of The Courage Group, is the exception to the rule. Neil’s overwhelming enthusiasm can sometimes be mistaken for aggressiveness, but if he says he is going to do something within a specific timeframe, you had better be prepared because he will deliver on his promise. Neil displayed a genuine interest in our company and impressed us with his dedication and timely service. We feel we got a tremendous value for the services provided. Any company needing services offered by The Courage Group would be foolish not to consider Neil Anderson and his company.
Thank you, Neil. We wish you many years of success.”

“I had recently retired when an opportunity to work with a company as a consultant presented itself. I had done none of the legwork to know what I needed to do to get my company started. A friend recommended the Courage Group. Neil met with me right away and knew exactly how to help me get my company named, organized and ready to do business. He was knowledgeable, wasted no time and took care of several things for me so that I could begin work with my client. He is definitely one that goes above and beyond. He provided lots of information that I still utilize today as well as great advice on what to expect over time. He was amazing. I highly recommend his services to anyone beginning their own business.”
