He ensures that anyone who works with him takes full advantage of the “Entre Results” atmosphere. Jared has read all the books and has gone through every training. Yet his genius stems from first-hand experiences working and living in the small business arena, which bolster his ability to teach and learn from others. Jared uses his knowledge to bless the lives of friends, family, and those whose companies he serves. Jared is always learning, which allows him to adapt to whatever comes his way. He draws on thousands of hours of experience in coaching, consulting, and training. Although younger than his contemporaries, Jared is an old-timer in terms of experience. A firm believer in work-life balance, he’s selective about the number of clients he takes to ensure time for  his family. Work-life balance is actually one of Jared’s core beliefs. The number of clients who asked for help in this area led him to write EntreBalance — an informative book designed to inspire people to work on  their personal lives as much as their businesses.

He also founded the EntreResults Academy, which allows  business owners to access coaching at an affordable price.
