"My business problem kept me up at night, and it was exhausting. I was unsure how to fix my problem, so I contacted Jim for his initial free 30-minute visit, valued at $50. He is an excellent listener and asked questions I hadn't even considered. We ended up having three coaching visits, which solved my business problem, and I left with a clear vision of what I needed to do and a blueprint of the steps to follow. Jim guided me, helped me believe in myself, and gave me confidence in my decision and in myself."
John Annable, owner of Karate Johns

"I am a physical therapist; I worked harder and longer hours, yet struggled to grow my business, unsure of what to do. I partnered with Jim McEntire in his business strategy and consulting program, meeting monthly. We immediately began increasing sales, and over a number of years, we expanded my one-person therapy business to 20 therapists.​ He helped me improve my sales, profits, client loyalty, market share, and team engagement, enabling me to reach my goals while reducing my stress. Using Jim's marketing blueprint for small businesses gave me a step-by-step action plan while keeping me accountable during our coaching sessions. He gave me certainty and guided me every step of the way, and I thank him for being a key part of my success."

"I took Jim up on his free session; he is nice, yet I didn't know what to expect. Impressed by his knowledge, I enrolled in his business strategy and consulting program, and he guided me to double the size of my membership over the last year and to fill my sales funnel. Bringing Jim in as my business coach, he became vital in refining the sales experience and marketing for my business. He has helped me increase the open rate and readability of my emails, fostering an emotional connection with my clients, moving them through my sales funnel, and converting past clients into repeat buyers. I have used Jim's coaching for over a year now and have a solid growth strategy, additional testimonials, and increased client engagement, which has boosted my net income and filled my calendar. Thank you, Jim,".

"I worked hard to grow my business, yet after seven years in business, I wasn't growing. With Jim as my business coach, we increased my sales by 42%. "Jim moved me to see my clients from their perspective about their wants, needs, and fears. With his growth blueprint, we put a blueprint in action, moving my membership from 122 to 174, and it's still growing. We are working on expanding my territory and services, and he is fun to work with and committed to my thriving and succeeding.

Hope for Heather

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit our local small businesses, it was like a tsunami of uncertainty and chaos. Business Owner Coach Jim McEntire contacted me to help guide our chamber members to safety. He partnered with Barb Stone, a successful Life coach, and we put together a weekly Zoom coffee hour for our chamber members. Every Tuesday morning on Zoom, our members would share their challenges to keep their businesses afloat. These chamber coffee hours were like a beacon of hope, a lighthouse guiding our way to a haven in a storm for our members. I appreciated how, when a member would share their challenges, Jim would ask other members for ideas, suggestions, and solutions to their complex problems. He would summarize the suggestions, add his action steps for them to take, and share a list of resources to help them. I view Jim McEntire as a subject matter expert in small business growth, guiding owners to clarity and improved decision-making, marketing services, and his value to our members is reflected in his selection as our Most Valuable Member of the fourth quarter of 2024."

I started coaching with him, and we worked on my story to share why I was in this business and how to build trust and engage clients quickly. I immediately engaged clients faster, increased sales, and built confidence in growing my business. Jim McEntire knows how to grow small businesses, and thanks to his coaching, mine is still growing."

"Business Coach McEntire's sessions empowered me to better communicate with my stakeholders, which in turn allowed me to clarify our team objectives, reduce interpersonal friction, and achieve our agency fundraising goals during our 2024 budget cycle. His coaching style is eminently approachable despite his considerable resume and expertise. I would recommend his coaching services to anyone serious about pursuing sustainable business growth with integrity and intention."
