In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the Business Coach, Speaker & Founder of Jess Stewart LLC, Jess Stewart.   Jess Stewart, a strategic business guide based in Texas, talked about her mission to help leadership teams and companies achieve their full potential. Jess offers valuable insights and practical tips on scaling and executing business strategies. But Jess doesn't just identify the problem; she also offers a solution. She conducts intensive and engaging sessions with the leadership team when working with clients. These sessions involve breaking down the company, identifying gaps, and creating a customized approach based on best business practices. Jess also holds quarterly sessions to ensure accountability and progress toward the annual plan. In addition to her work with leadership teams, Jess has expanded her offers. She now provides a "climb" program, where she closely collaborates with leadership teams. She has also started mastermind programs for ascending leaders not part of her teams. These programs involve monthly Zoom meetings, where Jess leads content and facilitates discussions among participants across the United States.   About Jessica Stewart: Jess is a fearless and highly accomplished leadership team coach, strategic advisor, and business guide with a lifetime of hard-won successes under her belt. Raised by a Marine Corps pilot on a cattle operation in the mountains, Jess learned the keys to running an entrepreneurial company. Grit, hard work, and no complaining infused a work ethic in Jess that she lives and breathes today. After college, Jess became a teacher. After a relocation with her husband to a city with no teaching jobs, Jess decided to start a medical billing business from her kitchen table with two young children under her feet. Though she knew nothing about medical billing, the lessons learned from her dad “stuck.” Failure has never been an option for Jess. Jess worked every job inside her company, grew it to two US locations, and an international division. The story was not all roses. Hitting the ceiling was not an unfamiliar feeling for Jess. These painful times taught her to assemble a leadership team and company that operated on world-class systems and processes. When the unexpected opportunity for exit came, she could say yes! Today, Jess is devoted to helping other entrepreneurs, leadership teams and companies run better businesses and live better lives. Jess lives in Texas with her husband Murt, and two children Cora and Murt V.   About Jess Stewart LLC: Jess Stewart LLC is a firm that believes in the potential of companies to reach their biggest goals and focuses on equipping top leadership with the necessary guidance to steer growth.
