I had a video meeting with Steve because I had a few questions I needed answered. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, and also gave me more useful information and advice than I expected. I'm very satisfied with his service and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their business.

Steve is a wealth of knowledge and was happy to share it with me. I'm new to my entrepreneurial journey but will certainly continue to seek Steve's advice through this process. He has a wide range of business advice and a strong network of referrals he was able to share to allow me to learn and understand all the aspects of running a business. His blog page has countless hours of courses and tutorials which is truly a testament to his understanding of business and his willingness to share it with others. I highly recommend a conversation with Steve if you are interested in learning more about business or the entrepreneurial process.

I chose Steve as my mentor for a video mentoring session through the SCORE website. As an established small business owner, I needed guidance from a successful businessperson. Steve led the hour-long session with Brian providing additional input. This meeting proved very fruitful for me as it equipped me with ideas to grow my business. Steve also provided a plethora of resources for me as "homework." Thank you, Steve and Brian, for your efforts. I highly recommend them as invaluable resources for prospective and existing business owners and entrepreneurs.

I recently had the privilege of meeting with Steve, an entrepreneur mentor who provided invaluable advice on building a strong foundation for business growth and scalability. Throughout our discussion, Steve exhibited a remarkable understanding of the challenges and opportunities that come with managing and expanding a business. What I particularly appreciated was Steve’s approachable method of guidance. Instead of pressuring me towards a one-size-fits-all strategy, he shared his personal experiences, effectively illustrating the potential impacts of various business decisions. This level of authenticity in his advice allowed me to envision the practical application of his lessons to my own business, JONNY RA, LLC. Steve’s insights were not only reflective of his vast experience but also resonated with the unique trajectory we envision for our company. His ability to listen and his willingness to tailor his guidance to align with our goals were highly beneficial. I am thankful for the time Steve invested in our meeting and the wisdom he imparted. His mentoring has certainly equipped me with a more profound perspective on business development, and I look forward to integrating his valuable advice into our growth strategy. Best regards, Anthony Byrd Founder, JONNY RA, LLC

I had my first mentoring Session with Mr. Imke last week. His knowledge and insights were exactly what I was missing. I can see that his managerial emphasis on defining roles and responsibilities within the business life cycle will be crucial to avoiding costly mistakes as I progress in my journey of starting a business. Mr. Imke also gave great pointers on creating a value ladder as a means of creating enduring relationships with clients. I really enjoyed my time him. He has great mentoring skills. Our session was time well spent and I look forward our continuing association.
