Evolve to Your Greatest Potential

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with JB Blum, Co-Founder of JB and The Doctor, located in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are JB and The Doctor. We are performance and mindset coaches that offer the unique value of working with both a former Fortune 50 Sales Executive and a Doctor of Psychology. We help established professionals and teams develop their soft skills with a heavy focus on time, self-management, communication, and confidence. Our clients seek us out when they want to level up their productivity, are ready to evolve their communication skills, or recognize that in order to scale, they'll need to become dangerously great at public speaking!

Tell us about yourself

We originally started working together in 2019 and officially launched our business together in the late Spring of 2020. Although both of us have partnered with and worked alongside thousands of professionals as trainers and coaches individually, our motivation to work together stemmed from a lack of accountability in the coaching world. We wanted to marry the technical expertise and experience of over 500 million in gross sales with the science and behavioral expertise that only a Doctor of Psychology can provide. Rather than pretending to be something that we aren't, our partnership allows us to work with individuals and teams in a unique way.

Our goal and motivation are always to provide both the how to do something and the why it will work for your unique self. Raising the bar in the coaching world is something that needs to happen, and we wanted to help lead that charge.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

In the coaching world, our biggest accomplishments are rarely our own. Both of us are proud to be business owners that operate multiple businesses, prioritize time to spend with our families and focus on our health and actively carry Executive Board roles in non-profits and associations that are near and dear to our hearts.

Our greatest accomplishment is helping other professionals become well-rounded leaders that are able to step up into even larger roles in their businesses, their relationships, and their communities at large.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner is maintaining a consistent superior level of service with your clients, constituents, and investors through all phases of a business. Businesses are dynamic and growing. Being prepared for that growth while meeting and exceeding expectations requires forethought, discipline, accountability, and a tremendous amount of drive and investment in yourself and your team.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Outsource
Delegate
Lead

Business owners, especially small business owners, are nearly uniformly too slow to outsource, too controlling to delegate, and too involved in the day-to-day to effectively lead. If you're able to be ahead of the trend on all of these, you will find your business has the room necessary to grow.

Exceptional businesses and exceptional professionals are not born. They are nurtured and given the resources they need to evolve to their greatest potential. Our values and beliefs are simple. Invest in yourself, invest in your business, and invest in your greatest future impact!
