Open for business

I started my professional journey as an entrepreneur and have maintained a passion for entrepreneurship throughout my career. For those who know me, it will not come as a surprise to learn that after a great deal of thought (and input), I am very excited to announce that the next professional step for me is to go into business for myself.

As of today, RJG Consulting, LLC is open for business, and I will serve as Ameliorator. 

Did you Google it? This title has a story, for another time. 

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to take on some pretty unique professional challenges. Fortunately, this has allowed me to learn what I excel at and what I enjoy doing. As many of you who have worked with me know, this tends to be:

• Innovating sales models and channels

• Driving rapid organizational change

• Designing productive cultures

• Building bad-ass management and sales teams

This is where I do my best work and have the most fun. So, this will be what I focus on as a consultant. I will, of course, continue to leverage the incredible relationships I’ve built over the years to ensure clients get maximum value. This is why I have a page for partners on my site: Just some of the people I will undoubtedly call on for help.    

I’m excited about building something new (again) and I'm aware that all new ventures present risk. I appreciate all of you that have encouraged me to take that risk, which was not an easy decision, particularly given some of the great opportunities I've been presented with. 

As Tim Ferriss says, “Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask.” So, here are two specific asks: 

1. If you lead an organization or company that is in need of:
   
   Sales model innovation 
   Rapid organizational change
   Higher performing management or sales teams
   Culture redesign or a morale boost
   
   Consider letting me take a look at the patient to offer a diagnosis. 

2. Please sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of this page. I’ll be collaborating on some great content in the coming months that I trust will be entertaining and helpful for any organization looking for amelioration. Oh, and ‘secret time’... it also helps me stay on your radar so that if you have a scenario from #1 arise, I’m right there in your inbox. 

I appreciate everyone who has helped me reach this conclusion and all the input many of you have offered as I assessed the various options that came my way. I'm very excited to set out and begin building something really great from the ground up alongside some great people.
