My street-smart experience

Is the key to boosting your business’s growth

​For more than twenty-five years I have operated my business growth consultancy centered around one simple principle: I always try out every bit of advice, every new technique and every new tech wonder in my coaching and consulting businesses before I offer this expertise to clients.

So, you can be assured that the techniques I share with you to grow your sales and profits I have already used to grow my own companies sales and profits.

Many would call this “street-smart advice” and I am proud of offering it to succesful small business CEOs just like you.

Let’s boost your business’s growth together!

The Power I Offer

Why choose me

In my 28-year career as both a business startup coach and business growth consultant I have worked with just about every kind of business out there…from manufacturing, to healthcare, to consulting, to training and education…and many more.

My startup team and I have guided more than 1,500 individuals through our new business launch process.

And I have personally guided dozens of Solo CEO’s to overcome a wide variety of challenges to their business growth, including loss of a major customer, hiring challenges, a family health crisis and a pressing need to create and launch a new product or service, to name a few.

Please take a minute to scan the unique talents I bring to your service.

First-Hand Experience

The old expression is: “Walk the Walk, and Talk the Talk”. I know exactly how to address your company’s need because chances are good that I have personally experienced a similar challenge in my 28-plus years growing several businesses, plus helping hundreds of entrepreneurs start and grow theirs.

Great Empathy

I have been described as “an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur” because I have a deep understanding of how a business owner is buffeted by ups and downs in his or her business, quite often unexpectedly. As they say, for many of the challenges my business growth clients face, “I’ve been there; done that”.

You Get My Friends Too

When you engage me to work with you, you are also activating my support team, whose talent and experience I have relied upon for many years. The team includes Susan, my copywriter, Michelle, my web and computer genius, Jim, my accountant and numbers guy, and Reno, my digital marketing maven….just to mention a few. If I run across a new business challenge when working with you, I can turn to a member of my team to bring me up to speed so you receive the most timely solution to your problem.

See the Necessary Steps

Every since I was an 11-year old lawnmowing entrepreneur I have had the ability to look at a desired end result and pretty quickly envision the steps necessary to get there. This saves me and my clients a lot of wasted time and frustrating deadends.

Meet Deadlines

I’ve retained service providers to advise me on a new technique or to complete a key step in a process…and then waited and waited for the promised results. I suspect you’ve suffered this also. I respect your time and know how strongly you anticipate a positive solution to your problem. So, I am careful when telling you how soon I can deliver a promised result…and then I deliver what I promised, when I promised.

You Can Get Hold of Me

It can be very frustrating when you suddenly realize after completing work with a consultant or service provider that you “need one more thing”, but now they are nowhere to be found. Baring the rare time when my wife and I go on vacation, you can readily reach me to answer a question or provide a piece of advice, no matter how long ago we wrapped our engagement together.
“I own a specialty running shoe store, and worked with Jeff in 2021 & 2022. He knew exactly how to iron out some of the wrinkles we were experiencing on the marketing and back office side. More importantly, though, he understood the scarcity of time that many business owners struggle with. He fit everything into my schedule so that the collaboration was not overwhelming at any point. Great results and a seasoned professional!”
Chris Schiel

Owner, Xtra Mile Running

“Jeff is an amazing coach! Not only he is very knowledgeable about business and helped me to set up my new business structure, but he is also a very thoughtful and kind person. He helped me with my business website and even setting up my DBA. I can confidently say that my online services were able to grow exponentially because of Jeff’s help and I am so very thankful to have met him! I highly recommend him, you will not regret working with him!”

About Jeff

Hi, I love to boost business growth

And I love Chicago.

It’s been my home since I moved here from New York State to attend business school at Northwestern University.

My first entrepreneurial clients in Chicago were corporate managers downsized during the 1990 Recession from such companies as Sears, Motorola, Fisher Scientific and Apple, to name a few. I was pleased to guide a number of them to launch businessess instead of jumping right back into corporate life.

From our home base in Arlington Heights, Illinois my team and I have grown to serve Solo CEOs across North America, and now Western Europe! But, my passion is working with my fellow Chicago-area entrepreneurial business owners to grow their businesses more rapidly and profitably.

I’d like to introduce you to variety of business startup and business growth services my team and I offer.

We look forward to helping you grow your business.
