I work with entrepreneurs both at Kennesaw State University and at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, and am active in the Gathering of Angels here in Atlanta. I can use some of the information I pick up at EA meetings to impart on these other groups. Let me say that I have been impressed with the quality of the members that I find at EA and although I do business with a lot of them, I am always interested in meeting CEO’s and Presidents of various companies. People go to EA for the education. Sometimes I don’t hear things that are new to me, and other times I do and it is information that I would not have learned anywhere else…." Thomas W. Hughes, MBA |

"Let me first say a big THANK YOU for the invitation to this event this morning!! I was so impressed and thoroughly enjoyed both speakers. The humor, the energy, and the intelligent networking tips were inspiring and applicable! I took many notes!! I had to leave without staying for some of the additional sessions as I have had some unexpected work conflicts this week that are resulting in me having to go out of town but I just wanted to personally say THANK YOU again. I would love to learn even more about upcoming events etc.! This certainly started my morning off right!!" Sandra Penton |

"Cliff, thank you for including me on the trip to Savannah Friday evening. Have to say that catching a flight to a great dinner in another city is something special…a real way to remember 11-11-11. I had a great time and enjoyed meeting the others on the trip. From my point of view it sure seemed like everyone had a good time."
"Cliff, have already heard from my group about what a great time they had last night. Your efforts are most appreciated and frankly the dinner was over the top. Thank you for putting it all together."
"Another great symposium. I truthfully believe the education/knowledge/experiences of your speakers makes the EA association worth the membership fee for me – even without the opportunities for connections."
"We have seen an immediate ROI and branding benefits from our sponsorship investment in the Entrepreneur Education Symposiums. We find the typical company profile consistent with our target market which is growing, expanding and financing. We also recommended it to our Charlotte offices because the symposiums are high energy with new and interesting panelist every month."
"EA is important to me. It is worth my time. I feel like I’m getting a Harvard MBA in growing my business." 
"Cliff, I learned so much from you during our meeting, and understand clearly why you are so celebrated in the world of business and entrepreneurship. My takeaway: Simplify. I look forward to learning more about your organization. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance to you and your efforts. Thank you for all you do."
"Our company, Jetpool, received great exposure and I, as a fast growth entrepreneur, enjoyed the focused education and peer-executive insights at the Entrepreneur Advisors symposium. I have high expectations for the next one!" 
"Cliff is a difference maker, bringing hard knocks business education and inspiration to the region’s business leaders. Its rare for a successful entrepreneur like Cliff to work so hard to help other business leaders succeed, and to do so with such creativity and drive."
"You guys are awesome—what a gift to the biz world!!!"
"As I have been an educator and a participant in several of Cliff’s classes, I can tell you it is the ultimate entrepreneurial experience to see how you start, build and scale a growing enterprise. And then to add The Next Tycoon show with the 3-day MBA is remarkably clever and a huge benefit for the students and entrepreneurs."
"Cliff, thank you for hosting a great weekend. I was thrilled to be a part of the group and felt very welcome during all the sessions. I felt the group was really amazing and opened up in a way that I did not anticipate… 
"Cliff, I had to tell you, I used your CEO method of closing a sale and I closed it the same day! I also closed 4 this week (which is the most in a week I’ve done yet) going in with your method of bidding a bit higher than budget and showing how we can come down. 2 of the 4 ended up doing more than they budgeted for and I had almost doubled their budget!"
"…My first reaction out of the box was to tell you that your organization can not afford to not be a member of the Entrepreneur Advisors. 
"Cliff – Just wanted to take a moment this afternoon and say "Thank you" for the terrific MBA class last week.
"BEST EDUCATIONAL EVENT EVER! WOW! What a new way to deliver education and connect commerce."
"Cliff, What a great class yesterday morning. Your staff did an exceptional job and the content and presentations were interesting, thought provoking, educational and very motivational. As always I walked away with new quality connections as well as thoughts and ideas that can impact my business today. I wanted to thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to participate in such a positive environment."
"Rarely do you find an organization that truly exceeds your expectation, yet the Entrepreneur Economics class has done just that. Not only does it provide fascinating case studies that can be translated into everyday business situations, but the diversity of the students provides invaluable perspective and varying points of view. Our experience with Cliff has been in a word, "priceless"…"
"It was great meeting you Friday. I have been in sales and marketing for over 20 years and Friday was one of the best meetings I have attended. I ran out of paper writing the speakers’ comments. It was fabulous!"
"Thank you Lisa. As usual, another great Symposium. My clients, WorldPay really enjoyed the program and I believe they plan to join EA. Please let me know if Sheila Wyatt contacted you about membership. Warmest Regards.""Today’s symposium was rich with content. You have become a great asset to my business."

"Cliff, I wanted to take the time to thank you and Dave for a very educational and inspiring weekend. I can already see where a lot of your ideas and thoughts can be put into practice both personally and professionally. You really have a great team in place and I can see big and exciting things ahead for both of you."
Mark Reinke, M.D./CEO
"Cliff, Just a short note to say thanks for a great weekend. I returned to Waycross energized to make our practice a better place and with some plans for me to become a better leader. I look forward to the next forum in August."
David Murphy, M.D./CEO
“I’ve been in practice for 39 years – I can tell you I have been to many, many seminars and have heard a lot of talks in my career. Many were good, few were excellent and only a handful was amazing. Dr. Helfman’s & Entrepreneur Advisors’ course is among the very few that were amazing! If you don’t wish to work hard (in podiatry), save your money. These kinds of talks will only work for the go-getters! But if you wish to see horizons you never dreamed of then take the courses! Whoever works hard after applying only a handful of the nuggets can easily pay for the course. Whoever works even harder can make many times the cost of the course!”
George Tsatsos, DPM, DABPO, DABPMS, FACFAO, FACFAOP, FAAFS
"Cliff – I want to say thank you so much for meeting with my husband. The idea of you taking time out of your hectic schedule speaks volumes about the content of your character."

"Cliff, Your Class was fun, stimulating, informative and most refreshing. Our entire team met this morning to go over points that hit home to me during the class."

"Cliff, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed today’s class. It is uncanny how timely the topics of the class are to my business owner needs/challenges! So I always leave feeling I resolved some issues in my mind and have a solid direction to head in or resource. Thanks again for a great event!"

"I am writing simply to applaud you for the comment you made–buried in Sunday’s excellent AJC profile piece–regarding the economic value of the immigrant experience. You were quoted as saying, "[E]ntrepreneurship keeps America ahead and that is why our immigrant experience is important as well."
As a college professor who has taught intercultural communication and worked to enhance contact between US-born citizens and New Americans (as well as other internationals) for over 30 years, I appreciate it very much when a community and business leader takes a moment to acknowledge the crucial strength that highly motivated immigrants bring to our nation. Because immigration is often derided in our current political and media climate, your statement is that much more courageous and that much more necessary."
Don Rubin

"Cliff, Thanks so much for talking with us and our customer service clients at CVI yesterday afternoon. You were such an inspiration to our clients, who were more than a little awed in the meeting and not quite their usual talkative selves! Jim, Laurie and I loved having a chance to visit with you about overall plans for the contact center. We really see it as a way to employ at least a few of the 70 percent of blind people who are unemployed while creating an enterprise to earn revenue that will make it possible for us to extend our mission in new ways.
You were very generous in making this time available to us and even nicer to say that you’ll come back to visit with us again about our plans in another month. I will put it on my calendar and will touch base with you in September.
Cosmo, many thanks to you for helping to arrange a fantastic afternoon with the man who created two call center concepts — "first call resolution" and "total contact ownership"– that have become industry standards. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our clients."
