Testimonials

Wondering what it's like to work with GreenBusinessOwner? At less than $10 per month for a premium membership, what could it possibly be worth? We could tell you ourselves, but we thought you might be more interested in what these GreenBusinessOwners are saying ...

I had a one-hour meeting with Scott Cooney yesterday and it was the most productive 60 minutes I've spent in recent memory. I came in with a scattered bundle of ideas and walked out with a viable business plan. The experience of seeing something formless take form like that is exhilarating. Scott Cooney has a killer small-business tool-kit. Whether you have an established green model that you want to thrive and grow, or (like me) you just have the germ of an idea on the pages of a notepad, Scott's business acumen in the green space is an invaluable asset.
- Liam G., aspiring Eco-entrepreneur

The balanced scorecard part of the [Employee Engagement] business services tool is great. [It is] a terrific tool to train employees, especially on subjects that matter to me the most. Composting, recycling, knowing the menu and the ingredients, customer service, cleanliness of the place. Best of all, it is something that we can implement right away.

Best idea ever-DONE today! thank you!
- Ozlem O., Cafe Organico

This will allow you to find solutions to solve problems with like-minded people who will give you a different view point and can share their business experiences.
- Chris M., Laundry Locker

Thank you to Scott Cooney and his savvy team at Green Business Owner! They have helped us to understand the who, what, where and how of green business marketing and specifically, the 'art' of writing effective press releases. Prior to receiving the indispensable document "Effectively Using Press Releases for Your Green Business," we had no idea that this world of practically free press was open to us. Scott clearly and in easy-to-understand terms, guides you through the process of what needs to go where, what to include and what to leave out, what you can realistically expect from media outlets, and how to craft your PR to appeal to those varied targets. The information that is provided in this wonderfully helpful, instructive document gave us not just a jumping off point but also a jump-start for our own thoughts and ideas - got our wheels turning, so to speak.
- Andrew and Jill, Star Mountain Eco-Lodge

Your fundraising tool is clean, tight, and full of good information on the do's and don't's of raising money for a startup.
- Keith H., Six Pack Foods

Your approach is way too cool!
- anonymous

Scott is organized and mindful of providing something for everyone, whether you are a green business owner or interested in working in the green industry. ... The revolution is furthered.

While large companies have a myriad of opportunities to improve their environmental performance, smaller firms are at a disadvantage. Unlike bigger firms, they lack dedicated staff and the economies of scale that help make green profitable for larger firms. GreenBusinessOwner.com stands to change that equation, leveling the playing field, allowing small business to go from the margins to the mainstream of the growing green economy.
- Joel Makower, Executive Editor, GreenBiz.com, and author, Strategies for the Green Economy

Your vision is truly important to our country's adoption of a sustainable economy that will restore jobs and our environment. And the achievement of sustainability requires a new generation of entrepreneurs who can build businesses that supply green goods and services. Your business model appears to be at the very core of our national need to grow a pioneering generation of green businesses and business leaders.
- Bill Roth, entrepreneur, the founder of Earth 2017, a senior corporate officer, author of The Green Secret Sauce and the Green Business Coach for Entrepreneur.com

GreenBusinessOwner.com is what the world needs now.
