We are James and Angela, entrepreneurs and strategic marketing coaches living in Northern Virginia! Nice to meet you!<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!)<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>It all comes down to 3 core concepts - <b>CLARITY</b> in your messaging, <b>CONFIDENCE</b> in your offer and <b>CONTROL</b> in your business.</p>
