Project Evaluation Program (PEP)
This program is the first opportunity to see who you (the entrepreneur) are, what you intend to do and whether you are being realistic. Most entrepreneurs over estimate their abilities and underrate what it takes to get the show on the road. The PEP requires several hours by candidate.

Executive Venture Review (EVR)
Doing it right the first time. When you are embarking on a venture as serious as starting a new business or re-aligning an existing business, good support makes good business sense. There is no substitute for good advice.

Entrepreneurs are serious about the enterprises they build. Hamilton LaRonde & Associates offers services that are designed to support entrepreneurs.

An EVR meeting will teach you a lot about yourself and your options. The process will assist you in making an informed decision about your financial future.

The very best situation for you as a visionary entrepreneur is the opportunity to discuss your ideas with sympathetic and knowledgeable professionals who know what it takes to transition an idea into an operating company.

During the EVR, you will be assigned your own personal mentor, a professional with twenty plus years hands-on business experience.

The (EVR) has been designed to review your ideas and to provide answers to questions that you may wish to ask. It may even offer some answers to questions that haven’t occurred to you yet.

If appropriate, recommendations will be made for you to move forward with a suitable support program. In some instances, we might suggest that you do not move forward.

The Executive Venture Review (EVR) lasts for a day. The feasibility of your idea and how it translates into a concept is just the beginning. What it takes to get the business up and running will be addressed and discussed with you in great detail.

Complete Start-Up Support Program (PC07)
Starting a new business can be a very risky undertaking and it can be very demanding and costly. If you are not prepared, it can also be bewildering even for the very seasoned.

So why would any want to undertake such a journey? There is a very simple answer. The rewards can be phenomenal and there is enough evidence that others have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. That is the reason!

You know starting and managing a business venture is not easy , if it was everyone would be doing it and making money. No doubt you have heard horror stories about business ventures and entrepreneurs that did not succeed so you know that you have to be careful and you need good advice and experienced professionals by your side to make sure that you are on the right track and on target.

That is what this PC07 support program is all about. The program involves a team effort between experienced consultants and you. This bonding is important because it fosters an ideal environment for you to gain an in-depth understanding of what it takes to build and operate a business.

You can learn how to identify challenges and deal effectively with them. It is all about learning how to manage your future company and in the process build a reliable infrastructure. It is a major undertaking!

The purpose of the PC07 program is to provide you with a good understanding of Multi Level Marketing (MLM) and provide a complete start-up support program that includes development of systems and materials.

The methodology used by the professionals assigned to you will be clearly explained so you will have a good idea about what is happening as you go through the process.

Choices and alternatives are discussed throughout the program to make sure the structure reflects your personal philosophies. It is important that the culture that emerges is positive.

Each project is as different as the individuals involved so the components in each program will be different. The Consultant will make recommendations and explain how each component works. The final selection rests with you. After all it is your business, so it is essential that the structure of the company embodies your personal philosophies and this is critical to your long term success!

This PC07 support program is ideal for the "savvy" entrepreneur on a budget. When you are on a budget you need to achieve as much as you possibly can as economically as possible.

The PC07 program has been developed over a long period of time and it is very efficient when it comes to time lines; it is also very easy on your budget.

The PC07 well designed methodology will be a very good investment in your financial future. Better yet you will learn a lot about the very important dynamics that drive a successful company.

Some entrepreneurs may need extensive help on a specific item while another entrepreneur needs very little help on the same item. The consultant will be quick to recognize where support is needed and make recommendations.

It won’t take very long for the professional to identify your strengths and weaknesses. He will assist you in showing how to use your strengths to the fullest advantage and provide sources for you to rely on in those areas where you may be weaker.

The object is for you to become a good manager of your resources. The professional will do everything possible to help you but you must be diligent in the process.

As has already been stated, this is a team effort and you and your professional mentor are critical to the team.

Hamilton LaRonde & associates are serious about the quality of support provided and just as serious about helping you make your idea a big success, so it is important that everyone is on the same “page”.

With that object in mind, all information is reviewed by several experienced consultants to make sure that you are receiving the best possible information.

The issue of feasibly and understanding what is involved in a start process will be discussed at length. The transition from an entrepreneur learning about the process of start up and nurturing the entrepreneurial vision at the same time can sometimes cause loss of momentum.

The process as it now stands is that a start up entrepreneur goes though an executive venture review (EVR) meeting and then moves forward with a support program as has been explained.

In some instances an OMP (operations management program) follows and that will usually support an aggressive market entry.
