What Matters To Our Clients

"Tim Fulton has been my business coach for 10 years and the SBM Boot Camp is the best business class I have ever attended. If you or someone who works with you is looking for a mini MBA-like class or refresher with tons of applications, this is a great one to consider."

"Tim Fulton’s Small Business Matters Boot Camp is a must-attend for new business owners. The program shifted my style of thinking to an entrepreneur instead of just doing a job. I came away from the conference armed with the tools needed to raise the bar on how I manage my small business."

"Tim has a knack for constructing a cocktail of similarly interested disparate parties, and the interests are inevitably complementary. I always feel that I get more out of Tim’s gatherings than I put in, even if what I get out is an opportunity to help someone else.

“Just fantastic. I was someone who started a business doing what I loved, not necessarily knowing business. Tim and the Boot Camp helped me focus on the business, turning what I saw as hard and overwhelming into something fun and exciting. This has been an invaluable tool for me which I will refer back to many times in the future. I highly recommend!”
