James Klobasa
Strategic Advisor to Business Owners Who've Outgrown Hustle
Sunshine Coast based. 15 years in the game.
Average client relationship: 5+ years. I only work with people I believe in.
Who I Am
I'm the guy business owners call when they're working 60 hours a week, revenue is decent, but something's off.
They've tried more tactics, more funnels, more complexity. It's not working. They don't need another course or another agency. They need someone to walk in, cut through the noise, and say: "Stop. Here's what actually matters."
I've generated over $1 billion in results for clients across 15+ years. Not by being the smartest marketer in the room. By being the clearest thinker.
What I Do
I simplify.
I look at businesses that have become overcomplicated, and I strip them back to what works. I'm a strategist, a sounding board, and sometimes the only person in their world who will tell them the truth.
I've run ads. I've built funnels. I've written copy. I've done implementation. I don't anymore.
I bring clarity, direction, and confidence. I help owners stop second-guessing and start executing on what matters.
Results
From $2K/month to $224K/month in 3.5 months. Now does million-dollar days.
Joe was overwhelmed by stress, self-doubt, and overcomplication. He was working excessive hours without proportional results, constantly chasing marketing tactics instead of strategy.
We stripped away unnecessary complexity and built a simple business model around regular repeating monthly events. The transformation was rapid and dramatic.
"You proved again and again that I was overcomplicating, misdiagnosing my problems, and ALWAYS trying to solve my problems with a marketing tactic instead of good ole simplicity and common sense. Thanks for being the master of simplicity. I have ultimate freedom and I don't know how I would've ever gotten here without you."

5+ year partnership. Now managing $540M+ in client revenue with 8 coaches.
Rob had a vision for building a business coaching company focused on the trades industry. He needed strategic direction, course correction, and someone to test and push him to deliver on his potential.
This engagement was built on long-term commitment and trust—ongoing strategic mentorship, with regular course corrections to keep the business on track.
"How time flies... to think that 10 years today was the start of building what Pravar Group is today. Thanks for all your guidance and mentorship to course correct me and set me on the right path."
— Rob Kropp, Founder, Pravar Group
$103K launch in 5 days → $1M in 14 months → $5M business in 32 months.
Greg had deep expertise in the Forex Market and Marketing but needed to translate that knowledge into a scalable online education business. We implemented launch strategy, built strategic JV partnerships, and achieved 55%+ opt-in conversion rates.
His growth was consistent and compounding—multiple six-figure launches, one after another. He later expanded into email marketing and returned for ongoing advisory at $20K/month.
"Multiple six figure launches one after another... from the very first that took place in 5 days. Awesome."

$50K/month to $3M business in 3 years. Now Australia's #1 Sheep Management System.
Tim had developed powerful sheep management software with his family but faced significant growth challenges in the agricultural technology market.
We developed marketing strategy and positioning that established BreedELITE as the market leader—serving hundreds of sheep farmers across Australia, including many of the country's leading studs.
Doubled sales from 50-60 projects/year to 100-120+. Additional $2.25-2.7M annually.
Paul needed to scale his property development business beyond its existing sales capacity. We built a comprehensive lead generation system—designed the architecture, managed paid advertising across multiple locations, and created email marketing campaigns.
Doubling volume meant an additional $2.25-2.7M in annual profit. Predictable lead flow enabled business planning and scaling.

Who I Work With
Business owners who:
- Are working harder than they should for the results they're getting
- Have added complexity and it's made things worse
- Know something's wrong but can't see it clearly
- Need strategic partnership, not another vendor
- Want someone with skin in the game
I'm for owners who've built something real and need a strategic partner to help them see clearly and scale without burning out.
How I Work
Advisory Partnership
Monthly retainer plus percentage of growth. My success is tied to yours.
For the right fit, I'm open to equity conversations. That's earned over time, not assumed upfront.
What You Get
- Strategic clarity on what actually moves the needle
- A sounding board who's seen it all
- Someone who'll tell you what to stop doing
- Confidence and direction when you're spinning
- Accountability without the bullshit
What You Don't Get
- Implementation
- Another agency to drain you
- More tactics to add to your pile
- Someone who tells you what you want to hear
Simplicity scales. Complexity collapses.
Philosophy
Most business problems aren't marketing problems. They're clarity problems disguised as marketing problems.
Owners add more tactics, more channels, more complexity—hoping something will click. It rarely does. What works is stepping back, seeing the business clearly, and focusing on the 2-3 things that actually matter.
That's what I do. I've done it for 15 years across online education, property, agricultural tech, financial services, trades coaching and more. The industries change. The principle doesn't.
What I Want
I'm selective. I work with a small number of clients at any one time. I'm not building an agency or a team. I'm building strategic partnerships with business owners I believe in.
If that's you, let's talk.
Ready for Clarity?
If you know something needs to change, let's have a conversation.
Start a ConversationWe'll have a brief chat to see if there's a fit. No pitch. No pressure.
