My Story — Jim Burgess
Bio
I am a writer and creator and have been building up an audience on Twitter over the last 8 months.
I’ve been in tech sales all my life and have lasted in this industry through my genuine love for learning and knack for problem solving. My passion is helping people.
I uncovered my creative and authentic self in a rather bizarre way after a traumatic experience that led me to my current path.
I dove deep into educating myself on psychology and philosophy and in doing so developed systems that I use today to ruthlessly focus on productivity and creation and making the most of the day.
On my journey I lost over 50lbs in weight, and transformed myself from a depressed consumer to a focused and driven creator.
The breakdown served up some harsh truths. I was living within myself and I could be doing so much more with my life.
In hindsight, it was the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Now a year on I am helping coaches, creators and entrepenuers find their authentic voice online through consulting. Whether its advice on social selling, offer creation, brand strategy or audience building I just love helping.
Work with me
I consult and help other creators using my knowledge in sales to help them sell more products and services in the exciting world of online business.
I also grow accounts on social media and ghostwrite articles and content for large corporate customers as well as consult on social media branding to help clients increase their prices, build an engaged audience and sell more services!
My other passion is empowering and educating those who have had a similar experience to me to help them on the journey to recovery from toxic relationships through coaching.
I still am passionate about sales and fly all around Europe helping corporate clients use technology to solve problems.
