I've been receiving near weekly emails asking if I want to sell my business. The business in…read morequestion is a large, publicly-traded, multi-national defense contractor. I am certainly not the owner. These folks can't even do enough due diligence to google the company they're soliciting before sending random employees emails about wanting to sell. Either they're not qualified to handle your transaction, or it's an outright scam. Steer clear.

I inquired about a business listed by Marshall Pollock. The issue was not the facts of what…read morehappened - he was unwilling to send me an NDA because I didn't have a specific investment group formed (his choice of course, but if you're a seller working with Marshall reading this, just know he is actively screening out qualified buyers for you). The issue was his extreme rudeness and arrogance. He repeatedly spoke over me, even after I asked him to stop, and he was unwilling to even have a conversation or listen to what I had to say. If you read the rest of the reviews here, it's clear that this is a consistent issue and just who he is. Whether you're a seller or a buyer, run as far away from this person as you can.

I started working with Rick after my father in law passed away unexpectedly in August of '18. My…read morewife and I made the decision to move from San Antonio to the Austin area to be closer to her Mom and sister so that we could all grieve and heal together. At the same time, I left my corporate job and started my own business which has presented its own set of financial and marital challenges. We realized that we needed help because we were overwhelmed. Rick has been our rock. His compassion and expertise have given us clarity and peace of mind to make the right financial decisions for now and for the future. Rick's unique ability to be human and focus on wholistic advising has made all the difference. I would give Rick and Driven Wealth Management my highest recommendation. Any person or company looking for a world class financial advisor--look no further. Rick helped us take the necessary steps to create clarity and alignment between where we are today and where we want to be in the future! We are now working our plan and taking it one day at a time. Thank you Driven Wealth Management for helping us through this challenging time!

What I find even more troubling is the level of contempt and dismissiveness displayed during this…read moreprocess. As a female business owner running a publication, the developer repeatedly minimized serious functional issues by labeling them as merely "cosmetic." In reality, these were not cosmetic issues at all--they impacted presentation, credibility, and the integrity of a live publication platform. For a business website, particularly a magazine platform, those details matter. Unfortunately, this interaction revealed a deeper issue: a lack of respect for the client's standards and vision. The implication that these concerns were simply "cosmetic" reflects a misunderstanding of professional publishing and the expectations of a serious business owner. Ironically, this experience will likely become material for a future editorial discussion in my magazine's upcoming issue, as it highlights a broader and very real conversation about professionalism, accountability, and how female-led businesses are sometimes dismissed in technical industries.

I chose them because I felt confident they could deliver the results we wanted, and they did. From the start, Brian took the time to explain every step of the way and made sure he understood our vision.

Before working with Kristyn, I was hesitant about engaging with a coach because I have always been…read morean "I can do it myself" kind of person. Was I in for a surprise! Kristyn's coaching, combined with the resources toward which she steered me, have accelerated my success immensely, both in my thinking around my coaching practice and in my corporate career. Her uncanny ability to skillfully identify my blind spots, and to provide the insights and perspective I needed at just the right time, have resulted in material leaps forward in my personal and professional success. What I like best about working with Kristyn is that she is not afraid to call me on my "stuff" and does not shy away from tough conversations when it is in my best interest. And of course, she is funny and charming as well! I would absolutely recommend her not only for building a coaching business, but also for overall personal growth. Kristyn truly cares about her clients and has become an indispensable friend, confidant and advisor.

Kristyn is truly one of a kind. I know no one else who is as intuitive, kind, has an abundant…read moreamount of knowledge in business and marketing, and truly cares about other people's dreams and successes as much as her own, and can impact them in a major way. I came to Kristyn with a half-imagined dream. I had a career and brand as a freelance graphic designer that I mostly enjoyed and paid the bills, but had a dream of something that felt bigger and grander in the world of music. After a few sessions with Kristyn, my half-imagined dream suddenly began to feel tangible, with both short-term and long-term goals to help get me there. This past summer, I had my first music meetup with her encouragement, built my new website, and am in the process of creating my first music course. My new brand, which now includes my music ideas came directly from our sessions. As a result I feel more connected to my design clients, and my monthly income has even increased since the brand change. I also recently took Kristyn's Sacred Business Builder Course and was floored with the amount of useful content provided combined with the love that Kristyn brings to her work. She is able to give practical marketing tips, but also ideas about how to unlock previous blocks, change your money stories, how to attract the right type of client, look at the bigger picture, and she encourages you to effect the change you were meant to in the world (and so much more). As soon as we began working together it seemed like she had tapped into things that spanned my entire life. It was like she had a window into my soul. And that is Kristyn's gift.

I met Ms. Blair on the recommendation of two people (John Peek and Mike Chism) I deeply respected…read more At the time, I did not understand her services or how she could help me. All I heard was "you will have a better business" (eyes rolling) I "heard" her, but did not understand her. Perhaps real business learning is not in a class room (inspite of the many conferences I attended with this organization), but more like riding a bike....it's like telling me to peddle peddle fast and balance....her explanation of the service (before hiring her) did not help me grasp what learning to ride a bike is. Years later (after many loving beatings with a financial stupid stick and gentle 2 by 4s) I understand "balance". I can now not only ride a bike, but surf, ski and do yoga both in business and in my personal relationships. This group greatly contributed to me being the wiser business person. On Target is an outstanding service and every business SHOULD have when they truly decide/commit to being successful AND profitable (I am Chinese afterall-wink). For business planning, financial education and just an overall building a solid, reproducible, mission statement living money making company, Linnea is the "Quan" Linnea helped me dream like the child I am all the while training to have that dream be reality ....like a tax attorney.

I feel her services are great for new businesses and existing established businesses looking to grow. Thank you Linnea!
