Robert A. Sullivan "The Advisor"

Robert will provide your audience with the information required to determine if they have what it takes to start a small business. He'll also explain what steps to take to ensure success.

Robert can discuss a variety of topics, including selecting a business structure, choosing partners, planning, marketing, protection, and computer technology, including use of the Internet. He also offers many "real life" vignettes and easy-to-remember "truisms," both of which serve to drive home important lessons.

Author of The Small Business Start-Up Guide, and United States Government - New Customer!, Robert heads a Washington, DC area firm which he founded in 1990 and whose mission, in part, is to assist and advise individuals who are considering starting a small business. He frequently lectures on starting small businesses and entrepreneurialship in forums including colleges, out-placement organizations, SCORE and appears on CNBC and National Public Radio (NPR) as a small business expert. He is also on the Panel of Experts of Bottom Line Business magazine.

Robert has spent some of his career in the corporate world and part in government, but his first love remains being involved in activities that assist and energize the new entrepreneur. He also spent many years with the legendary Admiral Hyman Rickover and culminated his government career as a special assistant for information technology to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research & Acquisition.

When he's not in front of a computer you'll find him playing with his favorite toys - a Harley-Davidson Road King or Ferrari 512TR. (Bob's personal pages)
