Rich Terrell Owner, Rich's Fishes, LLC

Jim's business coaching has helped us progress our business at a breakneck pace. He's helped us to get out of our own way and freed us to grow and excel in ways we thought were years away. But he's done it in a way that stretches our comfort zone using logic and reason. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us next!

Sunny Sneddon Owner, Wiley Aston, LLC

My experience with Jim was invaluable. I found that his coaching helped me drastically with accountability, which as a self-employed, busy mom, was very much needed. He was a clear-headed confidant whose advice and coaching absolutely pushed me to take my short-term rental business to the next level. At each session, he got me out of overthinking and procrastination and into checking boxes and prioritizing, and it’s been paying off ever since!
