The Courage Group Story
Like many of his clients, Neil spent many years in the corporate world. Then one day, a new boss, adios Neil.
Then the light bulb went off. Why not start a business?
Why not control my own time, income, and destiny?
Neil did a “gut-check“ then decided to start his own business. A startup advisor business that helps people, especially boomers, and Plan B retirees, start businesses from scratch.
The Courage Group, Inc., was born with $2,400 in startup capital.
Why name the business, The Courage Group, Inc.? What’s one of the things you need to start a business from scratch? Courage.
