James Raymond Dunn
Entrepreneur

For almost 40 years now, I have taught people all over the world to experience their innate creativity, their own powerfulness, their unique oneness. From alcoholics and drug addicts in London, England, to psychiatric inmates in Toronto, to native counselors in Vancouver, to homeless teens in Miami, to high school dropouts in Hawaii, to low-income entrepreneurs in Seattle, I have helped people to achieve amazing results by getting them to understand that our only hope and our only authentic desire in this life is to figure out how we can ALL be successful.

And so, in all my classes and group sessions, it is the power of the group that is celebrated and energized. At the same time, I help everyone to focus on the practical realities of making money and building successful businesses. But these are not those tepid SBA or Score business classes! You won't believe how exciting and interesting business can be when you get a bunch of passionate entrepreneurs together for a ClubVIP business class or workshop.

In addition to teaching classes at Biznik, I am working with a team of people at Washington CASH to build a strong community of entrepreneurs in Seattle. We do this by showing people how to forge a strong vision and how to create a triple bottom line money-making process for their companies. I am also working with many other entrepreneurs to provide them with all the training, counseling, support, and capital that they need in order to start sustainable, successful new companies, and I am totally keen on working with ClubVIP business owners.

I am looking for people who would like to get real about their businesses and who want to establish thriving enterprises that really solve problems for their customers. I am looking for people who are tired of living paycheck to paycheck and who want to design better businesses that really meet their long term goals and needs. If you truly want to understand what it takes to have a successful business, come to one of our 'Biz Basics' classes or one of my intensive weekend workshops.

My educational background is in film and theater; oddly enough, I have never taken a business class. As a business coach, I think this helps me, because everything I teach is based on real-life business experiences, and never on theory.

I focus on helping people understand business in a very simple, common-sense way that allows them to move forward with purpose and clarity. I work with people to establish short, workable business plans that give them a clear picture of what to do each day to become profitable.

I have owned at least a half-dozen businesses; the early ones were miserable failures due to the fact that I had no clue what I was doing. After I learned the keys to profitability, I later had a couple of very successful businesses, both online. I always love what I do, and I love helping other people discover how they can make a living doing what they love to do. That's just who I am.
