So its a story you want? Well this is a hair raising cautionary tale of a idealistic young man who enters the business world at a very early age only to discover that most of the lessons taught in business classes seldom work in the real world and its too late, he has tasted true independence and it's addictive. How can anyone ever work for a "boss" after experiencing the tremendous highs and thunderous crashing lows of living and dying by one's own decisions?

Oh, there are so many ways to run afoul with new dangers threating everyday. Fast forward forty years and find out how our "young man" is doing today.

Listen to the stories of how he turned adversity after adversity into success.  Learn how to get started with little or few dollars, create new markets, handle customer complaints,  become an intrepreneur vs an entrepreneur and discover the one essential requirement to be successful at any business.

There are several ways to gain this knowledge, one is to learn through the college of "hard knocks" the other (more efficient way) would be to contact Jim Cendoma to speak on any of the subjects listed above. The best way to gain knowledge is to learn from someone who has been through the experience and lived to tell about it!

Testimonials

"I have, on many an occasion, run some business ideas by Jim Cendoma. I find his input invaluable from a small business owner's perspective. With the knowledge that Jim possesses encompassing every aspect of business I can't thing of any reason why absolutely anyone attending a 'My Business Guru' seminar wouldn't take back to the office something of immense value. I can not wait to attend my first meeting."

I have known Jim as a friend and business counterpart for over 15 years. Jim stands out as an ethical businessperson in a day when that is extremely hard to find. You can count on Jim to deliver what he says he’ll deliver.

I am a partner in an Industrial Tooling distributorship, which handles several of the equipment product lines represented by Jim over the years. We worked well together, as did our outside and inside sales representatives.

I also own a Wine and Spirits store in Corning, NY. Over the past 2 years that my wife and I have had our own business, Jim has been a sounding board for many of our ideas that we have instituted to grow our business. In addition, Jim has come up with many of his own ideas that have helped us to become a successful business in our first year of operation.

I find Jim’s broad base of business knowledge to be extremely helpful and right on in many cases.

If there is need to explore Jim’s qualifications please feel free to contact me at-607-731-2829, or maxar@gierston.com.
