About James Schramko
Better decisions. Faster progress. Fewer expensive mistakes. In business since 1991. 3,500+ businesses.
Your business works. It shouldn't feel this hard.
I help established founders make better decisions, move faster, and avoid the expensive mistakes that compound when you cannot see them from inside the business.
I've mentored over 3,500 businesses since 2008. My ongoing clients stay an average of 5 to 7 years. The longest client relationship goes back to 2010.
I work with founders who are already generating $100K+ annually, who have proven offers and real clients, but feel stuck despite their success. I help them see what to fix first, what to eliminate, and what to stop handling personally.
What I Do
I mentor founders earning $100K+ who have proven offers and real clients but feel stuck inside their own success. I do not motivate. I do not coach feelings. I help you make better decisions, move faster, and avoid the expensive detours that cost you months of compounding in the wrong direction.
3,500 businesses across 18 years means the patterns repeat. I have seen your situation before. I can see what you cannot see from inside it, and I say it directly. Den Lennie, after months in the program, put it plainly: "James is a genius, and he stops me doing dumb shit."
Results
- 3,500+ businesses mentored

Clients stay because better decisions compound. One good decision affects pricing, hiring, offers, positioning, systems, and growth for years.
Background
I have been in business since 1991. Before building online businesses, I spent a decade at Mercedes-Benz as General Manager of a Sydney dealership network. I left the corporate world in 2008 to build my own businesses full-time.
I founded multiple seven-figure online businesses including VisionFind. I published Work Less, Make More, a book about building a profitable business without burning out.
Today I surf most mornings, work 10-15 hours per week, and my business operates independently. I mentor a small group of established founders through my Mentor program.
Who This Is For
You run a real business. $100K+ annual revenue. Paying clients. Proven delivery. You are not looking for motivation. You are looking for someone who sees the whole picture and tells you what to do next.
If you are under $100K or still proving your offer, come back when you have traction.
