Linda McNamara, National Meetings Coordinator

"I had the pleasure of interviewing Carol Frank, Serial Entrepreneur, Speaker, Author and Consultant on Inside Business Success.   Carol speaks very frankly not about "how-to," but about "how-not-to," which is extremely valuable for seasoned, new or wanna-be entrepreneurs. She combines humor and candid personal stories of strife, struggles and strategies. Her passion is strong to help others as she provides wisdom and insight so you can learn from and avoid the costly mistakes others have made. She was a fantastic guest with high energy and great stories and I highly recommend her as a guest for any show.  I look forward to the opportunity to have her on the show again."

Jan Schleicher, Host of Inside Business Success

"Carol Frank is a fresh, insightful and dynamic presenter. She really spoke from her heart and clearly had a great deal of information to share with us. She's truly on a mission to help other CEOs and entrepreneurs not make the same mistakes she did. Her presentation gave us great value and shortened our learning curve. It was also fun and humorous. The addition of Murphy, her parrot, was refreshing and engaging. Everyone loved him and Carol; they held everyone's attention."

"What impressed me the most about Carol was her genuineness. She is exactly the same on and off the platform, whether she's speaking to one person or 500. She also did a great job of customizing her material to meet the needs of our group. Her motivational style and exuberance really energized the crowd and she pro-vided valuable business lessons to our audience. Murphy was a hit and an unusual touch to a positive presentation."

I've been to several classes at The Learning Annex and only one has been worthwhile Starting a Business in the Pet Industry. The speaker, Carol Frank, was an effective communicator, really knew the subject and gave useful straight forward information.

David Dorr, San Francisco, CA

"Many thanks for a terrific program. Several members told me how impressed they were with your program. I can relate to some of your experiences as I came straight out of college and started an office furniture operation. I have become very skeptical of what people tell me as I was once too trusting. Your advice to research the company and people behind it can not be stressed enough!"

Greg Miller, Arlington Rotary

"Carol spoke to our group about her successes and her failures in her business. She was very open about decisions she had made that had not been 'the right decision,' even when she made the same decision more than once. Her advice was strongly accepted as what 'not to do.' She openly admitted when she had been wrong and shared with us what she had to do to 'make it right.' Her presentation was comical, yet serious. She shared both her strengths and her weaknesses. If you are contemplating starting your own business, take her thoughts and suggestions very seriously. Overall, she was quite interesting and we would recommend her to other organizations. We found ourselves laughing with her. We also enjoyed Murphy, her beautiful parrot, who entertained us as well."

Fran Lawrence and Donna Thomson, North Dallas Business & Professional Women's Club
