Davis Resource guide vibes: a visual journey

I have known Charles for the last decade. How so? He was the exclusive provider of transportation for my weekly trips to the airport and back. And while my travels took me across the world to meet a lot of interesting (and in some cases celebrated people) there was something special to seeing him pick me up at the baggage claim of MSP airport each week. Why?

Charles is an American success story. He has parlayed that into a successful career, family and life. He has owned several businesses, his family is all college educated and he has now travelled the world with his wife.

Charles is an inspiration to me and other members of the community. Our country is now better because of his immigration and I am thankful to call him a friend.

Charles is an excellent role model for how a business should be run. Attention to detail and fairness allows individuals to receive a wonderful experience that just may last a lifetime, if not longer. My family and I have been blessed by Charles friendship over the years.

"While getting to know Charles in the past number of years, I realized right away that he is a man of incredible integrity and focus. He has a certain drive and motivation to succeed that is a very rare commodity in this day and age. He has had an extensive background in helping people just out of the goodness of his heart. Overall, he is just a good person and will go the extra mile for those who he can help."

Charles,

What a pleasure to meet you yesterday! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help Alan out by mentoring him and putting him in contact with someone who might be able to hire him as a driver. You were sent by God to be there at that place and time!

As you're willing to serve as a Life Coach for others in need:

I myself would like to visit with you, but please help the others out first. I have been out of work for over two years and could use some coaching. I seem to be able to be able to help and guide others, but could use some mentoring myself.

Thanks so much for providing this service to myself and your fellow church-goers!! You are a good man Charles! I'm so glad that God brought us together on Sunday!

Charles,
“I just want to say for such little time we spent together we accomplished a lot. You were very helpful in getting me to understand the need to be bold and to the point while remaining humble. I’m so glad we met that day!
You are a blessing to me as I know you are to others. I thought I was doing OK until I talked to you—well I was ok, but now I’m better. I hope you get to share your ideas with many others so you can have the opportunity to encourage them as you have me.” 

Alan

Wow! You go man. The site looks really good. Just the right amount of

God! You have many words of wisdom that people need to hear. Me too! Some

days are better then others for me. I'm still working on being more direct

and definitive. Staying on the path of the Lord...

Charles,

I have known of Charles at my church for about 10 years. We had interacted 2-3 times although I did not know a great deal about Charles. What little I did know lead me to believe that he was a man of Wisdom, Dedication and Integrity. In January of 2011 I was discussing what I wanted to do when I grew up and he asked me a very interesting question. He asked me why I was so Nomadic. I asked him to explain. He said that it seemed like every time he spoke with me over the years I was into something different. So he rephrased the question and said, why are you so easily distracted? I had no good answer. So he proceeded to ask me what I really wanted and how, when and where I was going to go from here to get it. I didn't have a good answer for him then either. He said he would research and get back with me.

We tend to honor those who have written books or have degrees in our society more than those with experience largely because the ones with the experience are too busy doing and have little time for talking. I did not ask for Charles's credentials because I saw that Charles's life was his own credential. His 10 year old business owner track record spoke volumes to me. So I just waited for him to get back with me.

2-3 weeks later he walked up to me with a napkin that had writing on it. He said that after researching he discovered that although he did not know a great deal about the Voiceover business, which is what I was interested in, he did know a lot about business and had coached several others to start theirs.

He said there were 8 things I would have to do to launch my dreams into reality and those were written on the napkin. Within one week I had 7 of those items accomplished (some of which I received help from Charles) and although it took a while to knock out the 8th item, I did it and am now circulating my market demo CD to Talent Agencies. His advice and coaching gave me a track to run on.

Thank you Charles.

"I recently worked with Charles on a sponsorship project for my entity. I found him to be very prompt in responding to communication. He went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed for launching his company within my business space. He was also very diligent and professional in providing guidance to help grow my entity. I admire his business ethics and look forward to working with him in the future."
