"Why do we still pay Al Levi for ongoing consulting three years after we first started working together? Because I know how easy it would be to fall back into our old bad habits."
Steve Lowry, Owner
When I called Al to discuss what he could do for us, and I expressed what we wanted and needed to achieve the goals I had set for the company and myself, I was truly impressed with his straightforwardness and to-the-point approach on how a company should run. Al did not sugarcoat anything. I realized [...]
We’ve been working with Al for just under a year. You don’t realize how unfocused and misdirected your efforts are until you have someone like Al come in and evaluate the condition and direction of your company. We were in a unique but difficult position. We started our company from scratch, which meant we didn’t [...]
Before the Planning Power! Visit with Al, I had a lot of ideas without much focus. Today I have a plan for success in play. I now use e-mail a lot and deal with my employees differently. The follow-up support from Al helps to clear up questions and forces me to account for my actions. [...]
I tried to make my own manuals; spent a lot of time and a lot of money, but didn’t get much of anything to show for it. Frankly, they just didn’t work. I wasted a lot of money with other consultants before I came to work with Al, and now for the first time I [...]
I debated about spending the money to bring Al in and finding the time to work with him. Fortunately, I spoke with one of his customers and then decided to invest in myself and the company. Before Al came, everything seemed like an emergency and we were always in crisis mode. Now that we’ve gone [...]
In the 10 years I’ve been in this business, I have definitely seen some changes. Recently we had a valued employee leave who had been with us for many years. At the time, I didn’t know how this would affect me and the Roto-Rooter family my father had built over the years. After some soul-searching, [...]
Life before Planning Power! was like knowing you need to go to the gym and lose weight or work out, these are the things you KNOW your supposed to do, but don’t. The answers are all the same, “not enough hours in the day” or “I am too busy working to focus on that.” We [...]
Why do we still pay Al Levi for ongoing consulting three years after we first started working together? Because I know how easy it would be to fall back into our old bad habits. You know what I mean? We used to think we were too busy to meet, but Al taught us that the [...]
I had seen Al give a speech at a giant National Convention two years ago. Then, about a year ago, I called him for a free half-hour consultation. I even went so far as to talk to one of his clients, who did nothing but rave about him. Yet, time continued to drift on by, [...]
As a result of the Planning Power! consultation with Al Levi, I now have a clear idea of everything that needs to change and a time frame in which to do it. In the six weeks since Al’s visit, I’ve been able to clean up the 2nd floor and create a meeting room, and begin [...]
