I established Humerlis, Inc. in 2004 to establish a means to nurture the growth of small and medium sized businesses. Humerlis created an economical way for businesses to benefit from outsourced marketing services and management consulting.

Very few entrepreneurs have a broad business background to assist them in formulating a viable business strategy and running their own business. This contributes to the dismal statistics on small business failure rates:

Only one-third will ever turn a profit

One-third will not survive the first 2 years

Less than half will survive the first 4 years

Two-thirds will not survive 10 years[more]>

Humerlis consulting will help entrepreneurs beat the odds and help their business reach its full potential.

I acquired the Meadow Creek Professional Center in Issaquah, Washington that provides a physical facility for businesses of all sizes to use as their base of operations. By collocating with a variety of other businesses, professionals and entrepreneurs, clients have the opportunity to interact and get the benefit of camaraderie and the critical thinking of respected professionals.

  I've very much enjoyed working with Richard during his intensive business plan writing workshop, and find his unique perspective - coming from his prior corporate experience and lending insight to growing our smaller entrepreneurial efforts into something smarter and bigger than where we are now - to be refreshing!

  Working alongside him and getting to brainstorm different solutions and ways to "tipping point" our businesses to the next level innovatively and efficiently, a new view on ourselves, has been amazing - thank you, Richard!

  He's got the perfect blend between calm professionalism and nurturing support (and good-humored challenge to put me on the spot and call my own bluffs!) to get us better in line with our smarter goals. I've enjoyed working with him very much, and look forward to seeing him at future events. And when he offers his business plan 3-part intensive workshops in the future, or offers his unique point of view in other forums, I recommend you jump at the chance to be part of that focus as quickly as you can :)   [less]

  Richard's series of small group sessions were a great way to deliver feedback back and forth across the table. His approach and meeting management style puts others at ease so they can open up and maximize idea potential. You can talk to him about anything...and with Richard's help and feedback, I came away with a more solid game plan and with bolstered confidence in what I need to do to in my business to maintain success.   [less]

  Dick generously applied his expertise to a fledgling business idea of mine. He asked great questions and directed me to focus on fundamentals rather than vague, grandiose vision. I am truly grateful for his candor and level-headedness.   [less]

  Richard has been incredibly helpful in the short time that I've worked with him. He has a real talent in listening, and "getting" where I am in my Entrepreneurial growth trajectory. His guidance has been targeted, tactical, simple, results-oriented, AND dead-on the money. I would recommend Richard's counsel to anyone that wants to advance their entire business to the next level.   [less]
