When Your Business Stops Growing, There’s Usually a Reason.
Real-world insight from 40 years building businesses — helping owners see what’s holding growth back.
Hi. I'm Jim Harris
Author of The Small Biz Guide | 40+ Years Operating Small Businesses | Featured in Regional & National Media
Over the years, my business insights and interviews have reached tens of millions of readers and listeners — but the goal has always remained the same: helping business owners make clearer decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
I’ve spent more than four decades building and operating businesses of my own — experiencing growth, setbacks, and turnarounds firsthand.
The insights I share come from real decisions made under real pressure, not theory or consulting models.
The lessons from those experiences became the foundation for my book, The Small Biz Guide.
The Small Biz Guide brings together four decades of real-world business experience — lessons learned from building, fixing, and growing companies through changing markets and real challenges.
It’s a practical starting point for business owners who want clear direction without complicated theory.
