Laura James
Strategic Operations CoachHelping you find calm in the midst of business chaos
Hello! As a small business owner just like you, I’m here to help you create simple systems that actually work and bring peace to your day.
My Story
Entrepreneurship has been woven into my life since childhood, where I experienced small business from a unique perspective: as the child of business owners. I watched my parents build their HVAC company while navigating the delicate balance of family life and business demands.
This early exposure evolved into two decades of hands-on experience across multiple small businesses, both as an owner and strategic advisor. As a military spouse, I’ve successfully launched, adapted, and transformed businesses through countless moves, mastering the art of efficient, flexible operations. Today, I leverage this extensive background as a strategic operations coach, helping fellow entrepreneurs create sustainable systems for lasting success.
My Values & Beliefs
Meeting You Where You Are
I believe in honoring your current reality. Every transformation starts with understanding where you are today, creating a safe space for both victories and challenges, and building trust through genuine understanding.
Practical Progress Over Perfection
I believe in taking intentional steps forward. By focusing on sustainable changes and celebrating quick wins, we create momentum that leads to lasting transformation without overwhelming your capacity for change.
Truth With Compassion
I believe in combining honest guidance with emotional support. Drawing from both personal experience and professional expertise, I offer direct, practical solutions while acknowledging the human side of business operations.
My Approach
I believe in starting where you are, not where others think you should be. Through thoughtful conversation and strategic questioning, we uncover what truly matters in your business operations.
My method combines practical systems expertise with supportive guidance. We identify quick wins that bring immediate relief while building toward larger systematic changes. Whether you need to vent about current challenges or dive straight into strategic planning, I meet you at that point.
I take a layered approach to transformation, breaking complex processes into manageable pieces. Using a budget-conscious mindset, we evaluate solutions that match your comfort level with both technology and delegation. The result? Sustainable systems that grow with your business and protect what matters most to you.
