I'm James. I help ambitious but unfulfilled employees build digital businesses to take control of their life.
[ My Story ]
In 2020, I was coming off a failed business venture (by my standards at the time).
I was one year out of college. Bummed that the business didn’t pan out.
I took a healthcare IT job and moved my family to Texas.
That job was an unbelievable opportunity. 
But in spring 2022 – I hit a mental wall.
It felt like I was running in place.
I was 15+ years away from where I wanted to be in my career, and I didn’t seem to have much control over whether or not I’d even get there.
To top it off, I had a 2-year-old daughter and a baby on the way that I wanted to spend more time with.
I decided that I needed to do something different before it was too late—something to regain control over my time, my outcomes, and my life.
So, I moved my family across the country and started an MBA program with one goal: to work for myself.
There were people I knew and even more people I saw online who seemed to be working for themselves and living life on their own terms.
If they could do it, I had to be able to.
I just needed to own something.
Through much of my program, I thought that meant buying a business. Because my first attempt at starting one went so poorly.
Halfway through my first year though, I started a marketing agency to keep my family out of debt.
Fast-forward 14 months. I graduated with my MBA and a business doing $40k/mo in recurring revenue.
Today, we’re around $58k/mo in recurring revenue – and I’m no longer searching for a business to buy.
I’m able to work when I want, from where I want to work.
I’m able to design my life and my work around my priorities: family & faith.
The point is: entrepreneurship changed my life.
It wasn’t without risk.
It wasn’t without hard work.
And the truth is, in many ways, I feel like I got lucky.
But anybody can do this.
If you’re unfulfilled or want something more from your work days, take a minute to think about what you can do to change that.
If I can do it, anybody can.
Digital Entrepreneurship
How to start, build, and scale digital businesses-- businesses that can be run from anywhere with internet and a laptop.
Sales
All business runs on sales. I've never wanted to be a salesman but it turns out that's 99% of what entrepreneurship is.
Long-term, short-term, quarterly, you name it there's no room for growth if you don't have goals that you're striving towards.
There's nothing more important in my life than family. Everything I do in business is meant to be supportive of the family life that I strive to have.
Getting work done faster and more efficiently is the key to having more time to live the life you want to be living.
