In this session of our Business Evolution Summit, Special Guest and FRD Geoff Woods shares the framework, mindset, and truth behind achieving extraordinary results through the “Family First” filter.
In this session of our Business Evolution Summit, Special Guests Andrew Kuhn and Matt Drinkhahn share what’s worked for them in building a thriving business without sacrificing family.
James Ashcroft has a great story of building and selling a business, and what it takes to position yourself properly with systems, processes, people, etc — so that if you want to sell, you can, and if not, you’re built to last.
You must systematically build your business as if you’re building it for the long term (ie. not selling). You’ll have more team engagement along the way (attract and retain the right talent) and have less stress/frustration, with more clarity. If an offer presents itself then you’re in the driver’s seat during the sale process. You’re in the best spot possible if you can walk away from a deal at any point which drives up the valuation.
1. Invest in yourself and “model the masters”
2. Invest in a Business Operating System and get a coach
3. Surround yourself with the right people (masterminds, peer groups, coaches, etc.) to enforce accountability and blindspot reveals.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
– African Proverb

James was born in England and raised in Florida (his accent is considered “royal beach”!). He’s owned and operated businesses for the past 20 years, and now helps leadership teams create clear company visions so great people can build great businesses, all while having fun and feeling proud of their life’s work. Why is he so passionate about being a business coach? Because James believes that coaching is the best way to rapidly get what you want out of life. You see, as an entrepreneur, he spent years struggling to scale his business. He had big goals and visions, but felt
stuck and unsure of how to get there. He was frustrated that his team didn’t “get it”. That they couldn’t “see” what he saw. He felt stressed, frustrated, and let his health deteriorate. It all felt so hard. In 2012, he had an epiphany – he realized the way he ran his life (and business) was unsustainable. He decided to take drastic action to get his head on straight.
James lives in Austin (adding some Texas twang to that “royal beach” accent!). He’s married to his college sweetheart, Erin, and has three kids, aged 17, 14, and 11.
He started investing in masterminds and learned that most success follows frameworks. He joined peer groups and hired coaches in all
areas of his life. He sold his business and started mentoring other entrepreneurs in his community. He then earned the highest certification as a Certified EOSTM Implementer and now is a Certified Pinnacle Business
Guide — so they could reach the same epiphany about success that he’d discovered years ago.
James is the President-Elect of Entrepreneurs’ Organization’s Austin Chapter, and has been featured in Success magazine. He also serves as the co-Chair of Austin’s EO Accelerator program, which helps local businesses scale over $1M in revenue.
Brandon Miller unpacks what being an “advocate” looks like and how you can be one in the eyes of your kids. As dads, positioning yourself in this role is our greatest opportunity to impact change.
Advocate: The position where the heart and mind of the person that we are leading sees us as “you’re in my corner, you have my back, you’re on my side”, and from that position we bear maximum influence.
“Am I making it my pursuit, my business, that no one in my kids life is going to give them more accolades than I will? No one is going to build them up more than I see what is right with them. I’m winning that race.” – Brandon Miller
“I see more of what is right with you, than what is wrong with you” – Brandon Miller

Founder of the Champion Development & The Health & Wealth Academy (HWA) – helping 1000+ leaders get into the best shape of their life permanently without restricting any of their favorite foods – in a way that increases their confidence & energy at work.
I Developed HWA from my own personal 8 year journey and struggle of trying to back to my “athlete/competitive shape”, but now while growing my business & career. Having tried what felt like EVERY workout program & every diet under the sun – I started becoming defeated and decided it was just me. I’m too busy, i’m too old now, i’m too asian, i’m not that serious, i’m not that dedicated, i’m not that disciplined…
But, from that struggle I discovered the strategies and philosophies that have allowed me to get into the best shape of my life (10% Body Fat or lower), year round, without restriction of my favorite foods, without any strict diet, without going to the gym every day…in a way that is sustainable, increases my energy & focus, and keeps me feeling young and vibrant.
