• When I first started working with Biz Coach John (as we like to call him), I was a brand-new entrepreneur with zero experience. I was struggling to understand the official parts of running a business (establishing it, opening a checking account, scaling it, etc.) and I couldn't get myself past six figures. I had only ever worked for other people, and managing myself, making decisions, and taking the right next step all felt overwhelming. I wanted to legitimize my business and become a true entrepreneur, but I didn't know how. Over the past seven years, John has given me everything I needed to succeed. He's helped me gain control of my finances, hire and fire employees, expand into teams of contractors, and set strategic goals with a clear vision for my company. He's taught me how to predict cash flow, guided me through countless mindset challenges, and supported me through both professional and personal obstacles. Today, I've gone from under six figures to nearly seven figures, I lead an incredible team who are as dedicated to the company as I am, and I finally have clarity and confidence as an entrepreneur. If you're looking for someone real to help you, John is your guy. He's not a flashy Instagram coach with funnels and gimmicks. He's a skilled businessman who knows how to work with even the most unwieldy entrepreneur. He has lasted longer in my life than any doctor or therapist, and he continues to be the steady, brilliant coach who makes it possible for me to share my gifts with the world

• I have been working with John for several months now and he as helped me so much in seeing how to make my business more profitable. There are a number of tweaks we have implemented and 1 recommendation increased my profit per client by 25%. I think that his strength with numbers has made a huge impact on how I see the profitability of my business and the value of my time. I am getting paid more, working with the clients I want to be working with and enjoying the whole process. His sense of humor makes our coaching calls fun and there is always something that I leave with that makes working on my business and my outlook on the potential of my business better! Thanks John!

• I hired John to help me increase my sales. In 5 months, I've seen a 41% increase. I was hoping for a 10-25% increase. He's helped shift my mindset into being a service provider & expert, not a salesman. Now when I'm talking with a client I can help them identify what their true needs are and position myself as the solution. I'm truly helping my clients and that feels great! He's helped me pinpoint what actions lead to the best results and now I wake up every day excited knowing that I have a clear direction, vision and know what steps to take to help me achieve my goals.

• John is an amazingly astute business coach. He has a knack for finding opportunities for growth that I hadn't seen on my own. Thanks to my work with John as a business coach, I work more efficiently and am making a larger profit. In fact, I just now finished doing my September billing, and I'm grateful to report my highest revenue month to date. Thanks, John, for your kindness, wisdom and street smarts.

• As an attorney, I was conditioned to think of what I do for a living as a “practice”; indeed, I think just about every lawyer that is a sole practitioner thinks that way. However, I found that having a “practice” was simply another term for “doing all the work”. I hired John Bulman about 3 years ago to help me create the systems and procedures that I needed to “streamline” my law practice and reduce the time I spend on non-essential issues. I told John that it would be acceptable to me at this point in my career to cut back on my income considerably, if I could also reduce the time and hours that I spent working. After several months of coaching, due to John’s astute business knowledge I no longer consider my firm a “practice”. I now own a “law business” and while it most certainly is a profession, my firm is run like a business and now I only work a fraction of the time I used to. And, my revenue, profit, and personal income have INCREASED, even though I would have been satisfied with less. Implementing John’s ideas, strategies, and systems is not easy - to obtain results will require hard work. But I can affirm that as a result of John’s coaching, my wife and I take about 3 or 4 months worth of vacation every year and my law business continues to grow, despite the time I spend away from the office. I wholeheartedly recommend his coaching, it really works! Brian Mandel, Estate Planning Attorney, Irvine

• John helped me move myself and my business in a place of greater profitability, and more rewarding time spent in doing so. His many years of experience in turning around companies is invaluable in facing down common drivers of wasted time and money, and staying focused on a vision is what keeps us moving in the right direction. It has been just over a year, and I signed up again in hopes this trend continues! Kelly Moore, Employee Benefits Broker, Irvine

• Running a law firm is no easy task. I know, as I've tried to do his for more than 30 years. In a fit of desperation, I hired John Bulman as my financial coach. He helped my create budgets and track actual vs budget numbers, helped me make sense of what the numbers mean, and developed management tools such that a "caveman" like me can use them. John makes the complex simple. He is a teacher and an analyst. I cannot recommend John highly enough if you want your professional life simplified.
