| "PTA has been instrumental in helping us to value our work and our business in ways far beyond what we might have imagined. We have gained many practical skills and have been able to put our business into perspective in the bigger picture as well. And it's a lot of fun to work with Paul!" - Travis Smith Marchi & Smith Financial Management Services to the Elderly |
| "Paul and his Associates were able to complete a very detailed assessment of the San Jose Entrepreneur Center (eCenter). The results were reported to the San Jose City Council with a very favorable result. The Redevelopment Agency would have no hesitation in working with Paul and his organization again for his perspective in entrepreneurship training, consulting and/or business development." - Richard A. Keit, Director of Neighborhood & Business Development The City of San Jose |
