Welcome to My Site

I often get asked these questions - What do you do?  What does J Richard Byrd offer? What services do you have? Do you have any books? What are your products?

I spent countless nights, trying to come up with a unique value proposition. I even tried to come up with a super marketable and catching name.

There is so much that I do on a daily basis. I'm a serial entrepreneur, a businessman, a father, a minister, a brand strategist,  a Web designer, a clarity coach and a musician just to name a few. Every day is different for me. It can go from creating a website to obtaining financing for a hotel construction project.  But at the end of the day - I fix things.

Now unlike the fixers of the past - that are brought in to assassinate someone or even the tv show Scandal fixer that is brought to trouble shoot and fix political messes.

I fix businesses, ministries, and even relationships.  I fix branding, strategies, and systems.

I consult/coach CEO’s, Coaches, Pastors, Entrepreneurs,and leaders. I am the Expert Your Expert calls when they have questions.

People come to me when they are stuck or they need to clarify their vision.

As a result, I write on personal development, leadership, productivity, platform, systems, and publishing. I also throw in a good mix of social media tactics and technology. On occasion, I write about stuff that doesn’t fit neatly into just one of these categories.

In this site I provide training, resources, articles for the leader/entrepreneur that is looking for a systematic way to do business and stay integral.

My training does not come cheap -- But then again I am not interested in hobbyists -- I train soldiers and more specifically, Officers.

I am not interested in how it used to be or how is was -- I am only interested in how it can be, how it will be, results that will Disrupt the Status Quo.

IF YOUR GOAL IS TO THINK BIGGER – BE BIGGER AND DO BIGGER THINGS —THEN THIS PLACE IS FOR YOU.
