Hello! We are James and Angela, entrepreneurs and strategic marketing coaches living in Northern Virginia! Nice to meet you!

We began our entrepreneurial journey in 2009 after spending 25+ years as Sales and Marketing execs in high-tech Corporate America generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues earning multiple 6-figure incomes.

Our mission - to help NEW or Early Stage Coaches, Consultants and Small Businesses, COMPRESS the time it takes to get to a 6-figure revenue stream without the stress, overwhelm and costs of advertising, hours on social media and complex sales funnels.

We quickly learned that NO amount of success at the corporate level would prepare us for such an income level as brand new business owners.

After too many years of scrambling trying to get clients and build predictability and consistency in our business, we finally decided to get out of our own way and got some coaching help (every business owner, especially coaches, should have a coach!)

We re-examined WHO we wanted to help and WHAT problem we best solved. BOOM! In less than 9 months, we were generating 6-figures using our own methodology and have helped hundreds of small business owners, coaches and consultants do the same.

It all comes down to 3 core concepts - CLARITY in your messaging, CONFIDENCE in your offer and CONTROL in your business.

There are 3 AND only 3 aspects to Marketing that you need to understand. If you do that, you will on your way to getting better results from all your activities!

Spoiler alert - none of them are about Social Media or paid ads!

One of the biggest Myths being perpetuated is that in order to build a successful Coaching business you need to be a great coach!

Mastering your coaching skills is VERY important...but being certified up the wazoo isn't going to get you clients!

Your Coaching business will succeed if you focus (first) on how to Market and sell your coaching and build your skill set along the way.

That doesn't mean you take peoples money not knowing how to get them a result...that's called fraud and usually comes with time in the BIG HOUSE!

There are ways to build your skills without putting peoples money at risk...but FIRST, you have to find them!

Ok, let's get on with this!
