Testimonials

Here’s what some of the people I’ve worked with had to say….

“I’ve known Joe as a business connection for several months. Originally, I was impressed with his passion and unwavering commitment to customer relationships and service. Now that we’ve worked together over the past few months, I realize he is the real deal. From his preparation, presentation and follow up, Joe is the consummate professional. He is unwavering in his promise to deliver on his word. A talented blogger and motivational speaker, Joe is just the pick me up you all need when looking for someone to awaken or reinvigorate you or your business with passion and a joy for life.

“Joe has an unmatched drive for perfection as well as an innate ability to relate to people.  Joe has been involved at a high level with many ventures, all of which, successfully.  Joe is a throwback.  He is one of the few leaders out there that seems forever willing to do the work it takes to succeed.  Joe leads by example.”

“I was fortunate enough to not only work with Joe but also become close friends with him. There are few people I would categorize as exceptional but Joe is one of them, both as a person and in business. He is truly inspirational, ethical, has an exceptional work ethic, and is completely selfless. His extraordinary results are due to both his business skills as well as the fact that he genuinely wants to help people. Joe’s business instincts are unlike anybody’s I have ever seen and whatever he does, he makes a huge impact. If I had my own company, he is the person I would want to run it.

“Joe brought in a “YES!” attitude, which dramatically improved the course of business for me and the entire company.  I’d recommend him to anyone looking to improve their lives or grow their businesses.

The mentoring was outstanding! Much more than a business relationship we have become friends and I was able to double my earnings from the year before in the first three months! I would recommend working with Joe and JDS Consulting Group to anyone looking to improve their mindset, increase energy levels, improve sales, and grow their business.”

“I spoke with Joe about a year ago for roughly 45 minutes and walked away immensely impressed by his positivity, passion, dedication and energy. It wasn’t long thereafter that I began reading his blog and each time I find myself re-energized and motivated to become a better businessman, father, husband and friend. Joe’s blog does a masterful job of showing us the path to reaching our full potential absent the pomp and arrogance that fill many of the business books on my shelf. I highly recommend Joe as an advisor and find his blog to be inspirational and highly informative.”

“Joe Sweeney’s contagiously positive attitude is outweighed only by his ability to push the people that surround him to their personal and professional best.  I had the pleasure of working with Joe while building and growing my business.  The sounding board that he provided throughout this process is unmatched.  Its been incredibly rewarding to create both a long term business relationship and lifetime friendship with Joe.  I would recommend working with Mr. Joe Sweeney to the highest degree.”

“Joe is one of the most dynamic individuals I’ve had pleasure working with. At Tiger Financial, I witnessed his rapid ascension from broker trainee at the Wall Street Office, where I was a former branch manager, to branch manager of the Chicago Office. He has a constant drive for excellence, a mind open to knowledge, and a positive energetic approach to working and managing. Most of all, these attributes translated into objective performance achievements, as he became one of the top brokers in the firm while becoming a key catalysts for increasing revenues in the Chicago office by over 300 percent. I am proud to say that Joe is a positive colleague and friend, from whom; I still draw inspiration today.”

“Joe’s blog is one of the best blogs I have read. Being a blogger myself, I know the challenge of writing consistently and engaging in my readers. I am so impressed with the quality of the content and how it really makes me think and want to take action.
Joe is an inspirational guy as well as a brilliant guy. When you combine those two qualities with the ability to write, you have a must read blog!”

“Joe’s enthusiasm for life is contagious. I’ve seen him positively change the general mood of every room we’ve been in together. In addition to that great attribute, Joe also serves to inspire and provide step by step “how-to” for strategies that help you reach your full potential. His advice has directly benefited my own business. The world simply feels like a better place after each meeting I ever have with Joe.”
