James Consulting

Jim talked me through - or I might even say, listened through - a very difficult decision a couple years ago. It was a decision that effected both a personal relationship and the future of my business. In the end, he simply let me know that I already knew what I needed to do. Sometimes, that's all you need - someone to help you break through the emotion of a decision and into the clear path.

Jim is going to tell you what you need to hear, when it comes to your business and decisions you need to make for that business to optimize...in the short term, as well as the long term. I highly recommend James Consulting. More...

When I first started out as a business owner, I had more ideas than processes. Jim was able to help me organize my thoughts into a scaleable business. His insights and direct personality help me stay the course and make incremental profits. I have recommended his services to all my business colleagues except my competitors for selfish reasons. Jim is more than a business consultant to me, he is the core of my team. Thank you Jim for your time and expertise. More...

James was a key facilitator for our new entertainment company, Third Coast Live, to negotiate the terms of a friendly contract negotiation with another entertainment company that was going out of business. He saved us time and money. His common sense, "cut to the chase," many years of experience and warmth were invaluable to our successful transition into a new company amidst the many challenges of 2020! More...

I sought out Jim to provide some validation or constructive critiquing of a business idea I'm trying to bring to life, and whatever wisdom he had in his back pocket from years of entrepreneurialism and business engagement, he gave it. He also provided me with several really useful resources to explore and some things to think about before moving forward. He worked well with my time and my schedule, and I greatly appreciated that he let our meetings organically flow till we reached a point where I had several new action items to work with. Jim is worth it, definitely. I really appreciate his insight and help. More...

Working with Jim for business consulting has been a huge relief! I’ve been struggling with organizing two particular businesses for almost a year. Jim listened to my concerns on our first call and ask questions to understand both businesses. After our first initial call, he jumped right in and began to make things more clear. From just a single consultation, I took his advice and booked a client for 40% higher than I normally would. Not only is he a seasoned professional, he’s a great person and really wants to help you and your business grow. Words just can’t translate the amazing service you get with him! More...

I've been working with Jim for about 2 months now. I'm working on starting an Ecommerce Coffee Business. Jim is very informative on great ways to get a start up going. He is also great at recommending ways to make your business stand out. He has a good sense of what will work for your business and what may not. Overall Jim is an easy going guy with a lot of great experience! I would highly recommend. More...

Jim a very helpful business coach. He understands the process of business and can zero in on what needs to be accomplished in the business. He is approachable and professional. I think he is a great addition for a coach for a small business. More...

I am so grateful that I connected with Jim on bark! He is laid back and so easy to talk to. He takes the time to explain things to me, in a way that I can better understand it. He is honest and he is straight to the point. He does not sugarcoat things and he WILL give you homework. He is a great mentor/advisor. He's just a natural. Very knowledgeable and he has great connections as well. Far more confident with this guy in my corner! "You said YES to this mess!" Thanks Jim! More...

Jim is like a tough drill sergeant: he tells you the way it is, explains what isn't working, is very direct and doesn't tolerate excuses, and forces you to rethink things (you can't have any sacred cows), and leave your ego at the door. But, in the end, if you are open to a new way of doing things, and genuinely try to open your mind to new ideas, I think you would do well to hire him. More...

James offered me a free one hour initial consultation. Based on the invaluable info I received in that 1st hour, I decided to hire him for more.

I work with Jim twice a month to review overall operations and preparation to sell my 23 year old company of a staffing agency. He is extremely knowledgeable of business in general and specifically provides information for my particular type business to prosper. He is encouraging but helps you stay accountable as an entrepreneur. The coaching from Jim has provided me with clear goals to take my company to a new level . I recommend him highly. More...

From our first conversation, I could tell that Jim had the experience and the know how to help me take my business from an idea to reality. He’s bright, direct, and he knows his stuff. Highly recommended. More...

Jim's been fantastically helpful in getting my business under control, learning how to better manage my staff, structure things around new hires, and build out the infrastructure of my company. Great no-nonsense way of communication, and commitment to results. More...

I interviewed, if you will, with multiple business coaches before I made the decision to move forward with Jim. That was by far the best decision I could've made. Jim understood my goals from day one and wanted to lead me towards those goals, not towards a skewed goal. That is what I appreciate most! I also love that I am the one doing the work, because that is helping me learn more, but Jim is always available to answer questions and guide me when needed. We are continuously making significant progress in such short periods of time. He comes to every meeting with his own inputs and ideas and does a lot of work in between meetings that will benefit you, he is always looking out for his consultees and when something comes up that he thinks will benefit you, he will share it, as well as continue to learn more so that he can better serve you! If you are looking for a business consultant, look no further than Jim. More...

In the short time I've worked with Jim he's been a dream come true. He's quick to understand small business and where my needs are. On our first call he took copious notes and listened more than then talked while learning what my concerns were. After our initial phone call, he did his homework on the ins and outs of my field and was quick to identify my needs. He has brought valuable big-picture perspective to my business. I have absolutely zero doubts with his guidance I will achieve the growth I am looking for. He has become my mentor and I highly recommend him for any and all your small business needs. More...

Jim is an experienced and successful business man, and it shows with how he formulates and delivers his wisdom and advice. I have received thoughtful, constructive, and invaluable consultation from Jim on my current and new business ventures. I have benefited from his service most by getting affirmation of my capabilities, and by learning how I can improve my habits and actions to achieve even greater success. More...
