    Welcome back to the Step It Up Entrepreneur Podcast! I’m your host, Tomas Keenan, and today I’m coming to you straight from the home office after a busy morning of high-level conversations with clients. But when I glanced at my calendar and saw today’s guest lined up, I knew we were in for something special. Joining me is James Hurst, a guy who’s made waves in the digital marketing and automation space, particularly in the HighLevel community. James and I first crossed paths about a year ago at an event. We didn’t know much about each other then, but over time, his name kept popping up—especially in the HighLevel Facebook group. His presence there isn’t just noticeable; it’s influential. He’s the guy offering genuine advice, answering questions, and asking some of his own, sparking conversations that challenge the status quo. What’s clear is James is a giver—someone who provides immense value without expecting anything in return. That’s a mindset I deeply respect and align with. In this episode, we’ll dive into James’ fascinating journey—his leap from software engineering and the comfort of a stable desk job to becoming a sought-after coach, consultant, and fellow podcast host. We’ll talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, lessons learned, and how he’s helping others scale their businesses. Whether you’re here to learn more about coaching, content creation, or how to grow a business from the ground up, this episode has something for you. So, let’s dive into the conversation and get to know James Hurst a bit better. Welcome to the show, James!

Drawing inspiration from Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, Joe has managed to scale multiple businesses using virtual assistants (VAs).

They discuss the power of using tools like Slack, ClickUp, and Asana to streamline business operations and how integrating VAs into your business can transform productivity, both in professional and personal life. Joe also opens up about his company’s evolving mission—shifting focus from solely prioritizing clients to ensuring the well-being of VAs, creating a sustainable, impact-driven business model that benefits entire communities.

    Welcome back to the Step It Up Entrepreneur Podcast! I'm your host, Tomas Keenan! Today, we’re diving deep into the power of patience, perseverance, and the importance of playing the long game in business and life. After a brief hiatus, I’m reflecting on what’s been going on behind the scenes—balancing business, family, and personal commitments—and why my usual system of keeping the podcast running hit a speed bump. In this episode, I share a recent on-site consultation with a car audio retail business in Oklahoma, where my partner Kathryn and I uncovered a $55,000 profit boost through a strategic pricing adjustment. We’ll talk about the value of in-person consulting, the impact it has on business growth, and why building long-term relationships with clients is the key to lasting success. I’ll also touch on some of my experiences from industry events like the Mobile Electronics Association Knowledge Fest and how a connection made five years ago finally turned into a paying client. We’ll cover valuable lessons on consistency, growth, and why success isn’t about quick wins but about showing up day after day—even when you feel like you’re making little progress. So, if you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or just someone looking to stay motivated on the road to success, this episode is packed with insights to help you stay the course and build something truly meaningful.
