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!
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.
How do you get money for your company?
How do you do your accounting? How do you cash budget? How do you allocate for the future? How do you manage your cashflow so that you don't run out of money
It’s no longer business as usual.
As laws become stricter and investors and consumers demand more, it's becoming increasingly important to consider sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors when making decisions.
But it can be difficult to turn insights into action.

I am an Investor, Business Mentor, and Podcaster.
For my clients, I bring my skills, knowledge, experience, resources, connections, and network.
If I cannot personally help you, I'll find someone who can.
I love marketing, creativity, psychology, networking, exploring new ideas, and solving difficult challenging problems.
I have a real passion for business, connecting with others, and putting deals together.
Basically, I am an eclectic, creative, divergent-thinking, problem-solving, problem-reframing, generalist kind of guy in a world full of specialists.
I also have a high tolerance for ambiguity.
Countless times I’ve been asked “Jim, we want to do 'this', but we don’t know how. Can you help us?” Then I assess the situation, gather the necessary resources, and develop a solution that meets or exceeds their needs.
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've been a consultant for a bank in the Philippines and a construction company in Afghanistan.
I've been an IT consultant in corporate America for 20+ years working in 10+ industries.
I've experienced many ups and downs in the economy and in my personal life. I've been around the block, to say the least.
No matter where you are in your business or in life I've probably been there too. My favorite proverb comes from Japan: Fall Down Seven Times, Get Back Up Eight Times.
I’m passionate about helping business owners like you overcome challenges, unlock growth, navigate through the ever-changing uncertain economic landscape, and achieve success.
With years of experience mentoring clients across different industries, I’ve seen firsthand how the right strategy can transform a business—and a life.

Why Learn From Me?
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.

The tools and strategies I use work for businesses around the world. Business is business.
We can work together via Zoom or WhatsApp.
Our goal is to give you value that is 5x to 10x your investment.
After a Half-Day Consult, guess what the number one most common response business owners ask.
They ask, “how can I keep you more involved in our business?”
This Half-Day Consult is not for everyone—and that’s intentional.
Because of the nature of this program, all sales are final, and there are no refunds.
Here’s why: Once you receive the insights, strategies, and frameworks we develop in our 4-hour session, you can’t “unsee” or return the intellectual property you’ve gained access to. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies that can dramatically impact your business, and that information simply can’t be undone.
If you’re hesitant or think you might want a refund, this program is not the right fit for you.
We only work with clients who are fully committed to consuming, implementing, and taking action on the strategies we develop during our consultation.
My goal is to deliver so much value during the consult that you’ll not only walk away with a clear roadmap to hidden profits, growth, or scalability, but you’ll also want to explore a long-term partnership—whether that’s ongoing consulting or bringing me into your business as a partner or equity holder.
This 4-hour consult is designed to be a test-drive for what it’s like to work together long-term, and I approach every session with the intention of creating not just a short-term engagement, but a lifelong partnership.
If you’re ready to commit fully, this consult could be a game-changer for your business. If not, I encourage you to wait until you’re ready to invest at this level.
First, know this: you’re not alone.
Many entrepreneurs feel this way at some point in their journey. The good news is, there’s a way forward.
The solution to powerlessness lies in:
Connection, Communication, and Collaboration.
Here’s why: a focused group of like-minded individuals can achieve far more together than any one person can alone.
Learn. Implement. Share.
When you connect with others, you replace isolation with community.
When you collaborate, you turn frustration into progress.
And when you share your knowledge, you transform powerlessness into purpose.
Through these actions, your sense of overwhelm will give way to hope, confidence, and accomplishment.
You’re not just a "simple entrepreneur."
You’re capable of making a difference—for your business, your community, and yourself.
The first step is reaching out and building those connections
