"Your seminar was the third of its kind I’ve attended since deciding to start my own business. Of those I’ve attended, yours was hands-down the most motivational and will, in all likelihood, turn out to be the most useful. Your seminar provided me with plenty of great information to help me get started. I am definitely going to take the time and use the forms in the booklet to develop my business plan."

"It is obvious that you put your heart and soul into your presentation and that is what distinguishes your workshop from any other that I have attended. Your personal testimony, peppered with a high-level overview of the ‘technical’ aspects of owning a business, was the perfect mix."

—Natalie L. Young, CPA

"Mr. Wilkins is a true American success story and a leader in our community. His knowledge based on administrative, managerial, and practical experience is something anyone can benefit from if they are seeking to become an entrepreneur. Many people have the desire and experience in a particular area to become a successful entrepreneur, but lack the knowledge to execute the plan of action. Mr. Wilkins provides that knowledge."

-Teresa Ann Isaac, Mayor

"Being a business owner yourself, it was most beneficial to gain a firsthand perspective from you of those things that I can do to add more value to my clients and those things that a business owner really appreciates. We all strive to deliver great service to our clients and to experience greater success in winning and retaining those valued relationships. Thank you for sharing with us those qualities that you appreciate and ideas of things that we can do better. Your presentation was outstanding!"

"Phil's presentation to our leadership team had an impact on our lives at work and at home. He helped all of us understand and figure out what is really important. With the demands that all employees face on a daily basis, Phil was able to help us leave with a much more clear focus of what we needed to accomplish in the work place as well as our personal lives.

"Phil has the ability to ensure that he is relating to all participants. He did his homework and really made an impact on each of us. We left his program energized and enthused. The hour and a half spent with Phil flew by."

—Bill Allen, President
Bank of the Bluegrass

"Thank you so much for sharing your experience of entrepreneurial perseverance and possibility with the group of educators who are participating in this year's Fast Forward Program. You tied the day together and you were a personal connection to the concepts of what it takes to be successful in life and business."

—Pamela Trautner

"Your presentation stimulated a lively follow up discussion. Everyone was very impressed with your tenacity and persistence-especially writing a letter to McDonald's every month for three years, and working at a restaurant for no wages. You certainly demonstrated a passion for the business!

"Your comments regarding leveraging were well received. The fact that you used it with regard to employees and networking was impressive. The Magic Johnson example really brought it home.

"Everyone was also impressed with the fact that you let your employees run the business. From my personal experience, I found it remarkable as well. Most entrepreneurs have trouble 'letting go'.

"Once again Phil, thanks for sharing your knowledge with the future of America."

"I just wanted to say thanks again for coming to Lexmark to speak to the N-ABLE group. Your message and delivery were great. It definitely inspired the team to start considering additional revenue streams, and yet handle the "main thing". I'm sure from our previous conversations; you could tell that I am a big Dave Ramsey fan. However, after reading your book, move over Dave, Phil is here.

"I read most of the book yesterday after work. My husband picked it up last night and we both walked away feeling we were on target, but we could still tighten the purse strings to allow for the creation of more wealth.

"The book was well written; in layman terms, easy to read print and captivating. I was also happy to see you giving so much praise to God, your wife, kids Teresa and Ron. I think your book has the potential to be a best seller. I've got to buy at least three books immediately. I think it will thrust these three people to make their dreams come true."

—Melinda Bredwood
Lexmark PS&SD Supply Chain Analyst

"Thank you for speaking to our students at Berea College during the campus-wide symposium on the "Challenges in Entrepreneurship". The students gave you "rave reviews" in fact, they are still taking about your presentation and the lessons you taught them about being an entrepreneur. But, don't take my word for it, post-session evaluations gave you excellent ratings including the following comments:"

'I loved the vast experience of the speaker and ability to energize the audience.'

Phil was candid and exciting. He has motivated me to pursue my dreams.'

'Phil is a fantastic speaker and will excel in his speaking business. That persistence will payoff.'

'He was awesome!'
