The Petitioner's training, mentoring, and advisory activities would only benefit his clients and trainees, not impact the field of finance or the financial training and advisory industry more broadly.

Generalized industry reports are irrelevant to whether the specific proposed endeavor has national importance. The Petitioner's own statements show the endeavor is locally scoped, and the projected wages of ~$26,882/worker/year across 122 workers do not establish substantial positive economic effects.
