The best business coach. Period. I've been part of James Schramko's coaching program for the past year and have gained a tremendous amount of value from the experience. James brings an impressive depth of business knowledge across operations, sales, marketing and strategy. He also stays close to emerging developments in AI, which makes his guidance especially relevant in today's business environment. If you're looking for an experienced business coach who can help you see the bigger picture, see your hidden blind spots, identify opportunities you may be missing and guide you through the realities of growing a business, I would highly recommend joining his program.

I was young, probably a bit cocky, and convinced I could figure everything else out myself. In hindsight, leaving was one of those classic "poor life choice Paul" moments. I should have stayed.

Within the first two weeks of working together again I signed up three inner circle members, and those inner circle people will pay me $45 grand plus over the course of a year. I've also rebuilt our P&L, so for the first time in a long time I have clarity on exactly where our profit is coming from and what to stop selling. Then we had our best month ever with revenue and profit; I'm talking we made $30k net profit.

What stands out to me most is how often he points out things that seem obvious once he's said them. He said one of my goals should be that I don't let my kids see my work. Now I've picked them up at school.

Paul told the whole story on camera, eight minutes, unscripted.

I first met James in the surf. Long before I made any decisions about leaving corporate, we would talk about work between sets. He was already listening. May 2021 was when I went all in. I had years of experience in corporate roles leading large global teams and implementing complex systems. I was good at it. I also wanted out. I knew my skills had value outside the structure but had no idea how to build a business around them. James helped me design and test an offer that founders actually wanted to buy, get my first client within the first month, and build a repeatable process to keep getting more. He guided me through content creation, podcasting, and eventually speaking at events. None of that was in the original plan. Five years on, I run a fully remote business with clients and team spanning North America, UK and Australia. I surf regularly and spend time during the day with my young son. My former peers are still working long hours in offices. It took a few months after leaving to truly feel it, but at some point I realised I would never be an employee again. That is a strange and genuinely good feeling. I am still here five years in because the decisions keep getting bigger. James has been there at every significant decision point and consistently helped me see the situation more clearly. Knowing he is in my corner means I can go into difficult situations with more confidence than I would have alone. If you have a working business and want help building the life and business you actually want, James can get you there.

Four things I've loved and massively benefited from working with James: 1. He has deep, lived experience navigating the growth and scale of successful businesses, so what he shares is real, authentic and grounded in real life. 2. He's constantly evolving and challenging his own way of doing things, and shares this progression in genuinely valuable ways with those he works with. 3. He has striking perspective on both the technical and human side of building something significant. 4. He's committed and prolific in sharing insight and supporting those he mentors. Thanks James. You've helped catalyse a real step-change in my mission!

James has been exactly what I needed. In a world of hype and quick fixes, his direct, calm truth has kept me grounded and on the right path, both personally and in business. He doesn't sugarcoat. He doesn't overcomplicate. He just shows you what works and holds you accountable to actually doing it. That clarity is rare, and invaluable. If you're looking for a mentor who will tell you the truth, challenge you when you need it, and help you build a business that actually serves your life, not the other way around, James is your person. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love the way James thinks. In such a short space of time, he has looked within my business and recreated my business structure, one that is customised to me, my clients and the lifestyle I'm aiming to achieve. His demeanor and communication styles are non judgmental along with having high integrity. We are very much in alignment, and I've found it hard to find a coach that customises their program around your own goals, nothing is cookie cutter with James. He even built me an AI system that's saved me around $50,000. It has given me total control over my business. My business is no longer in someone else's hands. And he actually cares!

I met James about 7 years ago and studied with him at that time for a few months. He had already developed a reputation for being a thought leader in the industry. I reconnected with him recently after following his work and needed a particular type of expertise. I have to tell you that the experience has been nothing short of first class. His development in AI, his attention to detail are outstanding. I have high standards and he over delivers. His knowledge base and approach have been invaluable. I have had the fortune of working with some of the so called best in the industry and James has out shadowed them by miles. He recognised what I want from my business and given me exactly what I needed and above. I highly recommend any professional looking to get insights that very few have the ability to deliver, reach out and join James's program.

James Schramko truly changed my life. Within just a few weeks of working with him, I transitioned from one-on-one coaching to a scalable group program, launched my community membership, and, most importantly, gained the clarity and confidence to finally leave my job and go all in on my business. His strategies are simple, effective, and designed for real results. Now, thanks to James, I'm running a business that fully aligns with my purpose, and I'm loving life. He creates tailored solutions for each of his clients, ensuring strategies that truly work. If you're looking for a coach who delivers real transformation with integrity and impact, James is the one.
