· I have taught a number of students over the years. And a majority of them have passed the exam and are now PMP certified project managers.

· I see many project managers who dont know the basic best practices of project management. As an entrepreneur working in the investment world I get to see many founders and learn about their businesses. I teach them the project management skills . It is important for founders to know about project management skills. Because Great businesses are not just about a great idea but there is a pocess to it. Those who understood it, have created million dollar businesses.

. I teach founders how to come up with a value for their business  and secure the RIGHT  type of funding. Knowing your numbers before you meet an investor is critical. Unfortunately, many business owners have either no idea about the valuation of their business or value it right off the charts! ”
