Jim Muehlhausen (photo left) has been a business owner since he was nine years old. Alright, selling pens to his classmates might not qualify as a business, but Jim is a born entrepreneur and had the good fortune to grow up in an entrepreneurial family. Jim’s grandfather created one of the largest spring manufacturing companies in the U.S., and from a very young age, Jim participated in the company, learning the inner-workings of business in his teens.

Jim graduated from Valparaiso University with a B.S. in Accounting, passing the CPA exam while still in college. Jim had always planned to go to work in the family business.

Ten years after graduating from Indiana University Law and passing the bar exam, Jim admitted that he only went to law school so he wouldn’t have to be an accountant — once an entrepreneur always an entrepreneur — but after one semester of law school, Jim was bored stiff. He decided to purchase a franchise, and he chose Meineke Discount Mufflers, despite knowing nothing about cars and lacking even a lick of mechanical ability. At twenty-two years of age, Jim found himself having to talk the President of Meineke himself into taking his franchise fee. Jim ended up with three successful locations and sold the businesses for a healthy profit.

Jim then started a manufacturing company and ran it for nine years. In 1999, Jim’s company was honored by Inc. Magazine and Michael Porter from Harvard Business School as the 53rd fastest growing company in the Inc. ICC 100. Jim sold the company a year later and actually took a job with an enterprise software company.

Jim then entered the CEO coaching business. Over the past eight years, Jim has personally coached hundreds of business owners in over 2500 face-to-face coaching sessions and has clients in North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
