Steady, strategic support for mission-driven business owners

When you have more ideas than time, and more heart than bandwidth, the answer isn’t trying yet another project management system or “proven strategy.”

You need someone who can meet you where you are with care, presence, and practical support.

James Kerti has been a huge asset to our Astrostyle team with his wide-ranging skill set and ability to communicate, organize and manage projects in a flexible and creative way.

As a writer, James quickly became someone we trust to write in our voice. He even co-authored the nearly 100,000-word tarot section that we had been dreaming of adding to our website!

He's a valuable integrator and project manager that we know we can rely on with our seven-figure business's crucial revenue-generating operations, including our book launches, courses and digital ads.

James has basically become an extra lobe of The AstroTwins' brain. 🧠

It's time to stop trying to juggle all the balls yourself. 🤹‍♀️

Maybe:

You’ve already made content people love, and you dream of packaging it into a product or program you can stand behind, but you don’t know how best to do it.

You feel overwhelmed by the tasks rattling around in your head and want a safe collaborator to help organize them—not just suggest that you try yet another system.
You’re clear on what matters but struggle amid a busy life to carve out the time, energy, and focus to bring it forward.
Your brain gets stuck in loops that sound like: “Okay, maybe I need a podcast—Heather’s blew up last year. No wait, Marissa’s YouTube is what’s working. Or maybe I need to do what Cody did with Meta Ads—4,000 sales in ten days?” Suddenly you’re buried under 13 new strategies before you’ve had a chance to breathe.
You want to believe that your business can make a meaningful contribution and support you and your family—rather than it being something you’re always feeling guilty about or making sacrifices for.

If that sounds like you, I’d like to help.

Whether we’re launching your next offering, streamlining your content, or bringing that long-held idea to life, my job is to help hold the shape so your vision has room to grow.

Hi! I’m James Kerti. 👋

I help mission-driven business owners and creatives finally bring the projects they’ve been dreaming of to life—without burning out or losing their joy.

If you’re holding big ideas or meaningful goals that keep getting pushed aside, I’m here to help you shape them into something real—with support that’s strategic, steady, and honors the fullness of your life.

My clients have become recognized industry leaders, written bestselling books, launched popular podcasts, and landed national TV deals.

What people are saying

James is impeccable with his communication, organizational skills, and knack for keeping projects moving along. With his support, we were able to release two major digital courses in under six months while continuing to consistently deliver monthly webinars.

I always look forward to our communications — he’s not only a seasoned professional, he’s always upbeat and is a wonderful human being.

(And his cat Delilah has consistently earned the coveted “Furry Consultant of the Month” Award.) 🐱

I had been through so many transitions in my business when I met James. He became an essential part of my business and life. He helped me experience more freedom and joy in my business, publish a bestselling book, and launch the podcast I'd been dreaming about for years.

I really really really love how James keeps me updated. It’s like the most delicious thing in the world to be able to see exactly where everything is at. I don’t ever need to follow up with him and I’m so grateful. It frees me up to do so much more in my life and in my business. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Support Made Just For You 🙌

The heart of this work is conversational collaboration through voice and video messages.

It’s where most of the magic happens: untangling stuck thoughts, working through strategy, celebrating progress, and staying aligned with what matters to you.

Each month includes:

Ongoing voice and video support
(gentle back-and-forth through the Marco Polo app for conversation that moves at the rhythm of your life)
One live 50-minute check-in call
Up to five hours of hands-on work
(deeper help with copy, content planning, product development, technical or systems support, etc.)

The as-you-go support is like having a caring person in your pocket.

The hands-on hours are for when you need a thoughtful collaborator to step in—whether that’s fine-tuning your copy, untangling your plan, or just helping lighten your load.

Why do it this way?

Look, it’s 2025. Everything is … already a lot. 🤷

Do you really want to cram a bunch of calls with a business coach into your packed schedule—only to be handed more “homework” between sessions, while you’re left figuring out how to implement a somehow-still-growing to-do list?

How about paying some consultant or agency thousands of dollars and crossing your fingers, only for them to come back and tell you that you’re doing everything wrong—and then ask for thousands more to redo your whole business using their “framework?”

I’ve been down that road before. Many of my clients have.

Maybe you have too.

So I designed this structure for people who are holding a lot—and want honest support that fits into real life.

And I’m not talking about a generic life—I mean yours.

Today.

Not your life before you had kids.
Not when your business was a spunky side hustle.
Not when you had the go-getter energy of a 24-year-old.

The life you have now.

I’d like to meet you there.

And I’ve found this conversational structure is the best way to do it.

I don’t want you to have to wait for a next call or to worry about how to ask a question, shift directions, vent about something frustrating, or celebrate even a tiny kitten-or-puppy-paw-size win. 🐾

Let’s work together in a way that actually makes sense and feels good.

Wild idea, right?

Pricing starts at $500/month.

This is a new offer and it’s almost certainly going to be priced higher in the near future.

Three spots still available for summer 2025.

I’m only able to take on a few clients for this work at a time—so that I can be fully present.

Interested in being one of them? It’s important to me that we connect before moving forward—to make sure it’s the right fit.

What people are saying

I've worked with James over the years as my business evolved. He overhauled my online platform, helped me increase my newsletter sign ups by a factor of three, and worked with me to put together an article that directly led to my biggest sales day of the year. His ideas are genius and inspired.

Erin Pavlina Intuitive Counselor

Working with James is delightful. He shows up with his whole head and heart, thoughtfully expressing new ideas for growth, and a willingness to solve problems. He would make a strong player on any team.

Shannon Cahoon

Founder, Hold The Magic

James is great with his design, he's great with his technical skills, but probably the most important part to stress is that he’s as much of a partner in everything that embodies what we do over the last ten years. As we've grown to more than 150,000 visitors a month, he's an essential part of what we do.

Mark Tennis Publisher, Cal-Hi Sports

Having worked with James before, I knew that when it was time for us to launch our new nationally televised event, he was the person I wanted on our team to run the official website. The event's grown in stature every year and last year tickets sold out in an hour.

Maury Hanks Founder, Global Sports Management

Research is the most fundamental aspect of my job as an author of narrative nonfiction books – without excellent research, there is no story, no adventure, no truth.

To that end, I’ve been exceedingly lucky to work with James Kerti, who has performed research for me in ways I could not have imagined. Time after time, James has discovered hidden gems, uncovered unlikely tunnels and passageways, leveraged his own creativity and curiosity to expand stories and give them added dimensions.

His eagerness to work hard and go beyond the call of duty – continuously – makes him invaluable. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Robert Kurson

New York Times Bestselling Author

When I had an multifaceted problem and I needed an answer, I went to James Kerti. I relied on his knack for forming concise, well-reasoned recommendations that I could take action on.

It didn’t matter what he needed to do, whether it was strategic planning, research, film or market analysis, or something else. He always impressed me with his creativity, resourcefulness, and ability to deliver on a tight deadline.

In a highly competitive industry where information is currency, I knew I could count on his work and his discretion. James made a big difference.
