Hi! I’m Jess; Owner of JMills Consulting.

I’m a business consultant & strategist.

My passion (and my mission!) is working with service-based entrepreneurs to help them build better businesses.

What does that mean?

  • It means I focus on the foundational elements of your business.

  • It means I want to work with you on the back-end logistics of your business.

  • It means I want to help you streamline your processes, become more productive and create a business foundation that allows you to grow sustainably.

  • It means that I care about and think about your business from a practical and methodical perspective so we can make the right choices for your business needs.

How do I do that?

  • By helping you strategically take action, implement and execute the vision of your business.

  • By working WITH you collaboratively.

  • By providing hands-on, tangible support every time we work together.

  • By getting things done real-time so at the end of every session, you'll know exactly what we accomplished and what's next.

Services

Together: Let’s take strategic action. Let’s get things done!

  • Identity & Impact

    This option is great for those looking to gain clarity, focus and direction in their business. How are you spending your time, energy and money, actually? How are you moving your business forward? What are you saying yes and no to? Do you have a solid mission, vision and values? These are your North Star when it comes to making business decisions.

  • Business Organization

    This is where we dig in and get to work. What does the back end of your business need? Better workflows? Documentation and resource support? More efficient processes and procedures? A better client experience? This work is collaborative, hands-on, and we get stuff done real-time, every time.

  • Team Growth (Manuals)

    Want to grow your team but not sure how? We’ll create a Hiring & Training Manual to start, which gives you a plan and path. We can also create an Employee Handbook or Contractor Welcome Packet. Whatever makes sense for your business and team needs. I’ll guide you through the process every step of the way.

  • Service Startup Blueprint

    Let me help you build out your new service or program idea - start to finish. We’re talking ideal clients, program flow, takeaways, onboarding, client progression, expert collaborations; you name it. When we’re done, you’ll be ready to market and start taking clients!

  • 12 Month Strategic Planning

    This is for you if you’re looking for a structured, hands-on approach to business strategy. We’ll work together throughout the year to build an actionable plan that keeps you focused and intentional with your business goals and focus points.

  • Testimonial

    “I had an outstanding experience with Jessica Millhiser. I now have a clear company vision, mission statement, values, etc. I have all the steps in place [for hiring] from job posting to an employee hiring and training manual. I have an employee handbook that covers things I never would’ve thought of on my own.

    I worked with Jessica for three months and she gave me bite-sized assignments in between each one of our weekly meetings. I get overwhelmed easily and never felt overwhelmed with these assignments. In fact, she was full of grace on the two occasions I didn’t get to the assignment and we worked on it together in our meeting. 100% recommend Jessica if you need some 1:1 coaching.”

    “Hands down, hiring JMills Consulting was one of the best, if not THE best business decision I’ve ever made. Working with Jess was collaborative, easy, and incredibly productive. Jess is more than just an excellent consultant and businesswoman. She is clever, articulate, and professional. She was prompt, organized, and always delivered exactly, if not more, than what she said she would.

    Most importantly, Jess knew just what questions to ask in order to fully comprehend what was most essential to me and my company. She helped me come up with a strategy and a plan to streamline my systems while keeping an eye on my business’ most important needs and values. She spent the necessary time to make things clear to me, eased my anxieties, and lead me confidently toward my business goals.

    I now feel prepared to take on new projects and additional growth because of the work Jess and I did together. And I'm very excited to hire her again for my next project. I can’t imagine where I would be without JMills Consulting!”

    “I did a Business Identity [package] with Jessica and she nailed it! I could not be happier with what came out of it - the clarity alone was amazing, but the words she actually put on paper... it was like she dug in my head to find what I couldn't put into a sentence.”

    “Jessica’s skills as our Director of Operations have been instrumental in KidSwim’s consistent growth and trusted reputation for professionalism, excellent customer service and communications for over 5 years. She cares for the health and well-being of my company as though it was her own. I can think of no one better to handle the operations of ANY organization she feels passionately about.”

    Jessica is such a fabulous business consultant. She has helped me so much with creating different systems for work to help me stay on task and focused. My productivity has gone up since we started and I am actually getting my work done in a timely manner! There are different goals we prioritize and tackle during each session that are drawn out in a very clear and practical way, so you don't feel overwhelmed. Not to mention, she is simply a delight to work with. I would highly recommend JMills consulting to any one!

    “Before working together, I kept a lot of things in my head in regards to my to-do lists. Now I have systems in place to manage them better. Jess also helped me organize my daily, weekly and monthly tasks and the use of checklists has been really helpful with accountability. I’d say that if you’re having any trouble with staying on task and using your time wisely, then working with Jessica would be 100% helpful. I am so thankful for the help she gave me!”

  • I help businesses build or solidify their Business Foundation. What that means is I think about the way you do things, where you’re trying to go, and together, we establish a clear path forward. We zero in on your Business Identity and your vision and break things down piece-by-piece.

    We also work to build structure within your workflow. What that means is we analyze your current processes and procedures for efficiency. What does your client journey look like? How does your business function? What can we make easier and simpler?

    I also help businesses prepare for internal growth. This means I help you work through documentation, assist in content creation for policies and procedures, and help you develop the manuals every growing business needs - a Hiring & Training Manual and an Employee Handbook.

  • At the start of any business relationship, I like to schedule a free consultation call first. This allows us to discuss your business needs: where you are currently, where you’d like to go and if I can help. I will only move forward with relationships where I know I can deliver and will be honest and upfront about my ability to help you.

    Once I know where our work will be focused, I will discuss the pricing structure with you and do my best to fit your budget.
