What a remarkable encounter. Imagine this: you have made a big success of your life and retired. In a cold, snowy winter day, you come to a place to dispense valuable business advice to a young entrepreneur like myself. That’s true commitment and the essence of giving back. (That’s this group ASE). Thank you for sharing valuable advice and I look forward to being back to discuss more.

I've been with ASE for years, and I have to give them credit for helping me with a lot of the major decisions I've made for my business. On top of that they've been a sounding board for everything I've done, and have been invaluable to me through good times as well as the rougher times. Thanks so much!

I visited A-S-E with a concept and no clear plan how make it a reality. They listened to me and 1 1/2 hours later, they turned my idea 180 degrees to something much more realistic and achievable. I had left with a clear plan of attack on how to achieve what I really wanted. Thank you very much. Looking forward to another meeting.

The service Shishir and his board are offering is invaluable to self-employed people. My husband has met with them several times and has received a lot of critical information that he needs to proceed with his succession planning.
