CEO Direct Line, Inc. is an on-demand business strategist/advisor network. I was an internal accountant for small business owners (always wearing many hats, burning the midnight oil so a green owner doesn't have to shut his doors due to doing all those things a newbie does when starting a new business. I found myself on the phone with clients more than actually doing work so I became a full time consultant to small business owners. There are key characteristics I have found with many and that is they need help "right now". Unlike a CEO of a large company, they can't wait for answers, or to hop on a call next Thursday. Combing this with my passion to help as many business owners as possible I created CEO Direct Line, Inc. I realized I can't do it alone so I started creating a network of seasoned business owners that wanted to be consultants and willing to do it on the fly. If a client calls 10 minutes before a meeting and wants to know how to handle a situation, they can.
I created a team in 2019 that consisted of five individuals from around the world. A NYC lawyer, a London marketing expert who has sold several businesses, a seasoned writer for financial magazines from California, a web-developer from Costa-Rica (originally CA), and a Ted-X speaker, author and investor in medical field.
I am almost ready to launch but need funding to overhaul and complete the website, develop the network of advisors and of course, advertising and organic development on Google, Linked In, etc. I also need to get out in front of potential small business owners by hosting live networking events to wet their appetite for the need to have an advisor on their cell phone that they can call at any given moment. Think of it as a human app but with a ton of AI behind it and of course, the necessary human interaction that could be the difference between an established business being able to brainstorm and get out of the weeds with a seasoned advisor and keep their doors open or developing a whole new revenue stream. Sometimes, it's actually knowing how to tell a person they need to start from scratch or even their idea is just not viable. I have helped business owners make millions, avoid closing their doors and realize what it takes to implement strategies for growth and more intelligent business decision-making. I believe in teaching a man to fish not to catch the fish for him. This dream I have been honing and working towards for over 25 years. My biggest challenge has been acting upon the one thing that has prevented me from executing. Funding. Thank you for your consideration. My goal, $20 million in revenue in five years. Not a lofty one, very doable but need the spark that fans that flame.
