Fellow Entrepreneur:
What you know and when you know it – can Make or Break You!
Succeeding in today’s crazy, uncertain, business environment means constantly looking for ways to do things better.
The world has gone crazy.
Everything we once took for granted is changing at a frighteningly fast and furious pace.
Day by day the world is getting more confusing and complex.
Changes that used to take place over a lifetime are taking place overnight.
In these days of great changes there are incredible new opportunities for mega-profits and at the same time there are perilous new pitfalls and dangers to be avoided...
new technology
huge natural disasters
international credit crisis
stock market panic
cost of goods going up, up, up
Yet in spite of all this change and uncertainty, you want to find a way to thrive in a time of crises and surf above the tsunami of change.
But where do you start?
You have built a 7+figure profitable business. It has been magical, scary, thrilling, and challenging.
There is so much more you want to do with your business.
You may have at least a rough idea of where you want to take your business, but you have two problems...
You don’t know how to get there
Your business has stopped growing.
Yikes….
You want to take your profitable business to the next level, but you don’t know how.
You want to grow your business but lately nothing has been working.
Traditional scaling methods like paid traffic aren’t working out.
You’re too busy and overwhelmed in your business to set aside time to plan a strategy for the future.
There just isn't enough time to figure it out.
And there are so many options to choose from.
Your life would be so much better if you had a roadmap or strategic plan that you could use to
bridge the gap between where you currently are and where you want to be.
You’re certain that if you just did a few little things in your business, you’d be so much further along.
But you’re extremely busy and don’t have the time to figure it out.
Let me ask you a question:
What steps can you take in the next 30 days
that can help your business
grow dramatically this year?
If you’re like most business owners, you are really good at somethings and not so good at others.
Sometimes, the areas you are NOT strong at can prevent you from growing your business to the next level.
And sometimes, you experience hard times and
feel like your hair is on fire and you don’t know what to do.
You feel overwhelmed and confused.
It would be great to have someone you can contact when you get into a jam.
That’s when you might want to reach out to a Business Mentor.
With a Business Mentor you are never alone.
What you know and when you know it
can make or break you!
As your business mentor,
I can help you see things clearly.
I can bring you strategies and new ways of seeing things.
As your Business Mentor the type of business you’re in does not matter. The business strategies we use work in all kinds of businesses.
If you’re looking for someone to help custom-tailor business strategies to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, let us know.
I'd love the opportunity to work with you as your business mentor.
The way we do this is: we have you invest in a Half-Day Consult with me (up to four hours).
During the consult we address all of your most pressing issues and create an action plan for working through and resolving them.
During that time, we'll identify:
what are your goals
what are your biggest challenges
where you are now
where you want to get to
And then we'll figure out how to bridge the gap. In other words, we create a roadmap that shows you how to get you from where you currently are to where you want to be.
The investment is $20K and after our initial meeting, we can decide if it makes sense to work together further.
My “evil plan” is that I'm going to razzle, dazzle, frazzle you so much that you're going to decide that you absolutely must have me as part of your business.
And that you're going to ask me to come into the business and be a partner or have equity ownership.
Let me know if that sounds like a fit
and I'll send you the one-page agreement
and wirings instructions.
If not, no worries.
Food & Beverage Manufacturers
Nutraceutical & Pharmaceutical Formulators
If you plan to scale or exit your business, chances are we can take care of your most pressing issues during a Half-Day Consult.
Every Consult is strategically designed to leave you with invaluable insights and actionable takeaways
Some people call me the Half-Day Business Mentor. :)
Here is a list of the most popular Half-Day Consult Packages I provide business owners:
(M&A)
You’ve heard of using Mergers & Acquisitions to grow your business.
You would love to use strategic acquisitions to quickly acquire customers in large numbers and immediately increase profits.
But you don’t feel like you have the time, bandwidth, or capital to do it.
Note: We've identified 220+ methods to fund a business without using your personal credit or emptying your own bank account.
Buying an existing business is
SO much easier than starting one.
And it requires the same amount
of capital (or less).
One comes with pre-existing sales
and proof of concept.
The other comes with headaches.
This Half-Day Consult shows you how to experience hyper-growth for your company through strategic acquisitions.
(Exit Ready)
If you want to sell your business, your business has to be Exit Ready.
How do you get your company ready for exit?
Successful exits do not happen on a whim or by chance, they require proper planning.
So, whether you are ready to sell your business now or want to be Exit Ready when the time is right, we can set the foundation for your success while avoiding the common pitfalls that many sellers fall victim to without knowing it.
This Half-Day Consult can get you Exit Ready.
(Transferable Value)
This Half-Day Consult shows you how to increase the value of your company.
We show you how to get the most money at exit…Not how to exit, but how to get the most money for your exit.
If you’re looking to increase the value of your company, this is the Half-Day Consult you need.
(Grow Sales)
This Half-Day Consult shows you how to have significantly more sales with significantly less effort.
Discover how to flood your business with sales with our lead-flow framework and the best conversion strategies that have been mastered across 8 and 9 figure businesses.
(Grow Profits)
Are there profit opportunities hidden somewhere in your business that you don’t know about and don’t know how to find?
This Half-Day Consult shows you how to find profit
opportunities hidden in your business and thus increase your profits dramatically.
If you are NOT currently profitable, it can show you how to return to profitability.
If the marketing of your business leaves a lot to be desired, this Half-Day Consult shows you how to work on your value ladder and get significantly more money coming in.
After showing you where the biggest profit opportunities are, we can show you how to position, change, modify, or completely re-do your marketing.
This Half-Day Consult shows you how to elevate the customer experience, which is going to ultimately make your company better.
Result: Happier employees, customers, and bankers.
If your business has unique needs or the above programs do not fit your situation, feel free to order something off-the-menu.
My team and I can customize a Half-Day Consult for your special situation, including but not limited to the following:
When you look at the skills required to get ahead in the 21st century, four of the top skills are:
Creativity
Empathy
Learning
Productivity
Creativity + Intelligence
Boosts Innovation
Empathy + Wisdom
Boosts Collaboration and Cooperation
CEO's around the world agree that creativity and empathy are the attributes they need the most in their companies and the greatest difficulty hiring for or training in.
They need creativity to drive innovation, harness the power of disruptive technology, and keep pace in this fast changing world.
They need empathy to boost team performance, collaboration, and cooperation.
Empathy also helps employees to think like their customers, which is necessary in a customer-centric company.
Make the move from being a manager to being a leader of your company.
You can also bring leadership development skills to the people who run your company.

Do you want my help growing your business?
Yes, I Want To Work With Jim.
No Thanks. I’d Rather Do It Myself
I’ve been a consultant in 10 different industries.
I have been the CMO of a brick-and-mortar business and an e-commerce business.
I’ve run my own digital marketing agency.
I am the founder of:
I currently live in Saint Louis, MO, USA.
I am a former Peace Corps Volunteer and Hospice Volunteer.
play Pickleball
sing sea shanties, ballads, and folk songs
practice Hunyuan Taiji & QiGong
dance (Argentine Tango)
I am a divergent creative-thinking, problem-solving, idea guy with a high tolerance for ambiguity.
I love a creative challenge.
“Creativity is a two-step process.
Step 1: Collect dots.
Step 2: Filter and connect dots.
If we keep asking the same old questions, we’ll keep getting the same old answers and that won't help us survive and thrive in these fast changing times.
I believe in practicing business in the Fairness Zone.
If a deal cannot be done in the Zone of Fairness, I won’t do it.
If the deal is not Win-Win, I won’t do it.
The focus is on trust, collaboration, and reputation.
Together we can make a difference.
What Do I Bring to the Table
During a Half-Day Consult?
I bring a different perspective.
I show you how to think a little bit differently.
I help you unlock the potential that is sitting there already in your company.
For example, let’s say you’ve spent 5 or more years building your business. During that time, you’ve become constrained in what you can see, because you’re so close to things. It’s as if you have your hand over one or both of your eyes and you’re unable to see many of the opportunities right in front of you.
We all have blinders on. And when you take the blinders off, you start seeing the opportunities around you. It makes you wonder, where did all of these riches come from? Where have they been hiding for so long? Well, they have been there, right in front of you, all along. But you just couldn’t see them.
Part of what I do is to show you opportunities you're not seeing - things that are already there. And I show you how you can structure deals in ways that you probably have never even thought of before.
I creatively put together deals in which everyone wins.
For my clients, I bring my skills, knowledge, experience, resources, connections, and network
I help Business Owners and Entrepreneurs to:

Let’s Do the Impossible Together
That can mean different things to different people.
But one of the best ways to live a meaningful life, a life full of purpose and to leave a legacy is to connect what you do to a personal passion AND to a global cause that resonates with you.
I’m assuming you are like me, and you love being an entrepreneur and your business is your vehicle for expressing that passion. But do you have your personal passion connected to a global cause that resonates with you?
I’m sure you have a secret desire to find a way to use your life and your business for a higher purpose. A purpose beyond just making more money. You want to build a legacy.
I too want my business to have a positive impact on my customers, community, and the planet. I too want to connect my passions to a global cause that resonates with me.
In these crazy uncertain times, I recently decided to make a career pivot. I decided to step into the uncomfortable unknown and face the biggest challenge of our era…
I decided to dedicate my strengths, experience, skills, connections, and passions to exploring the intersection of entrepreneurs, climate change, action (not more Happy Talk), and regeneration.
As a result, I now help entrepreneurs do the impossible: use their businesses to innovate, implement, and scale solutions that can get us out of this Climate Change mess and regenerate the environment.
After years of passively sitting on the sidelines waiting for others to do something, I decided to see what I can do. I pivoted into the tsunami headed our way.
And asked, “How can I help?” “What can I proactively do?”
So now I not only help business owners grow and exit their business, I help them make a difference in the fight against climate change.
I believe that business owners and entrepreneurs play a vital role in creating products and services that can help alleviate the effects of Climate Change.
I am dedicated to providing the support and resources necessary for business owners to develop and execute solutions to this crisis.
Through innovation and implementation, I am confident that together, we can do the IMPOSSIBLE…make a positive impact on the climate and begin to move towards a healthier future.
The goal is to ACT NOW regardless of what anyone else says or does and use our collective entrepreneurial strengths and resources to:
mitigate
adapt
regenerate
For me, it’s finding a way to help us survive Climate Change. It’s huge. And it makes most people feel powerless. It’s an impossible beast to deal with. Victory is far from certain. I don’t care. That is my global cause.
You are invited to join me and we can do the IMPOSSIBLE, together.
We have a chance to do something that’s insanely impossible.
We have a chance to have a huge positive impact on the quality of life for generations to come.
We have a chance to do whatever we can to innovate, implement, and scale strategies that will slow down and reverse Climate Change. And restore the climate and regenerate the environment.
We must do what we can to avoid rising sea levels, biodiversity collapse, and climate breakdown.
It won’t be easy.
The challenge is enormous.
We will need to overcome incredible odds.
Victory is uncertain.
But this work must be done.
We all want to have meaning in our life.
We all want to leave a positive legacy.
This is truly a legacy worth leaving future generations.
What better legacy than to work on the largest problem to face our generation?
We have the opportunity to act, to experiment, to risk while we dance with uncertainty.
We have to freedom to ask new questions, to find new answers, to create new connections.
We have the power to rewrite our future.
The future is waiting for us to act.
We are being called as entrepreneurs to step up and use our businesses to innovate, implement, and scale solutions to get us out of this Climate Change mess.
That’s It.
I’ll get off my soapbox now.
Rant Out.
Buying an existing business
is SO much easier
than starting one.
And it requires the
same amount of capital (or less).
