Am I adding value to you?

If so – I'd like to ask you to support the show.

In return, I will continue to bring massive value with two weekly shows, up to 3 hours per month of brilliant conversations and insights.

Monthly subscriptions start at $3 per month. At $1 per hour, that's much less than the minimum wage, but we'll take what we can at this stage of the business.

Of course, this is still free, but as an entrepreneur, the actual test of anything is if people are willing to pay for it.

If I'm adding value to you, please support me by clicking the link now.

Go ahead, make my day 🙂

Jim James Champion of the Unnoticed Entrepreneur

I was sold on the power of publicity to meet ambitious goals when I jumped out of the plane ✈ at the age of 17.

Since that slightly foolhardy stunt, I have always been on the side of the business owner who has a great story to tell but doesn't know how to get the recognition they deserve.

Since 1995 I have built brands and businesses as an entrepreneur. I've lived in Africa, America, China, Singapore, and the UK.

In 2022 I sold my PR Agency in Singapore.

Now I consult business owners on how to get noticed, host a podcast, a radio show, and publish books.
