My Clients Say [Read more](https://jakesmolarek.com/testimonials/) **Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I’ve become much stronger; my self-belief has gone through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.** **Tina Patel** – Lawyer *********When I began working with Mr Smolarek, the business was under considerable strain. Too many decisions were being pulled back to me, and a number of key roles were simply not working as they should. He helped me look at the organisation with much greater clarity. We made some difficult changes, strengthened the structure and put better people in the right positions. Within a quarter, margins had doubled, and the business was operating with far greater control.********* **Daniel Williams** – Director & Co-owner *When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel… However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right track. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!* **Ben C.** – Business owner *Jake’s work as a business coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my business and life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now than when I first started my coaching sessions with Jake.* **Neil Coker** – Founder and CEO *The only thing I can say is a huge thank you, Jake! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income, but Jake added a few missing pieces to my plan and helped me grow my coaching business much faster. In just a few weeks, he helped me see what I was missing, make better decisions, and improve how I was positioning and developing the business. It wasn’t always easy, but it was worth it.* **Denise Green** – Peak Performance Coach *Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn’t brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.* **Tom Bayliss** – Writer and editor **Working with Jake changed the way I thought about my business and the decisions I was making. Even after the first few sessions, I could see things more clearly and approach problems differently.* *He helped me improve my sales and communication, challenged some of the assumptions that were holding me back and pointed out opportunities I had not considered. Over time, I became more productive, made better decisions and had more freedom in how I ran the business.** **Phillip Larsen** – CEO *I had a good job and was earning well, but I wanted to build something of my own. I found Jake online, booked an initial consultation and told him I had no idea what that business should be. Through our conversations, I became interested in online advertising.**Jake encouraged me to take it seriously and helped me turn it into a business. Today I run my own specialist advertising agency with clients in niche markets. I probably would not have chosen this path without those early conversations with Jake, and I am very glad I did.* **Magda Kowalczuk** – Agency Owner Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn’t brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did. **Tom Bayliss** – Writer and editor *I started working with Jake in 2020 when I was 22 and trying to turn my fitness work into a proper business. He helped me understand the commercial side, including sales, branding, marketing and positioning. Within about six months, I was earning £10,000-£14,000 a month and had built a six-figure business. Jake gave me structure, challenged my thinking and helped me focus on what actually moved the business forward. His guidance made a real difference in how quickly I progressed.* *UPDATE: By the second quarter of 2026, I had grown the business to seven figures in annual revenue.* **Rakesh Patel** – Fitness Entrepreneur *Jake, thank you. You genuinely changed my life for the better. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was really moving forward and doing what I had always wanted to do. You helped me believe that I could make it happen, and then actually start doing it.* **Romario Ramirez**– Business owner, Speaker & Artist *Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open-minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can never stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced, and I’m truly grateful for the support he gave us as we worked through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a business coach.* **Steven P.** – COO of a large corporation (Surname withheld for privacy) ******When I started working with Jake, the business was doing around £6 million in turnover, but too much still depended on me. Jake helped me see that I had become the bottleneck and pushed me to change the way I was running the company.* *We improved delegation, brought in the right support and put better systems around the business. Once I stepped back from things I should not have been doing, the company grew into eight figures. Jake helped me see what needed to change and held me to it.****** **Michael Chadwick** – Founder ******At a certain level, it becomes difficult to get completely honest feedback. Jake gave me that. He challenged some of my assumptions, said things others around me were unlikely to say and helped me look at several decisions more clearly.* *What I valued most was the directness. There was no need to impress me or agree with me. The conversations helped me sharpen my thinking, delegate better and make cleaner decisions.****** **Oscar A.** – Founder & CEO (Surname withheld for privacy) *Jake coached and mentored me through the early stages of my online business. He gave me confidence, helped me understand what I needed to do and supported me while I built my online fashion company.* *His guidance made a real difference in those early years, especially when I was still learning how to think about the business and make decisions with more confidence.* *UPDATE: I started working with Jake in 2017. Now in 2026, the business is generating more than $40 million in annual turnover.* **Jane Ho** – Online Entrepreneur *I can highly recommend Jake Smolarek as a business coach. He must be one of the best in the business. He helped me take my business to the next level, and then another one.**I did not always like what Jake had to say, but he is tough, fair and very direct. Looking back, some of the things I least wanted to hear were exactly what I needed.**He helped me make better decisions, see what I was missing and become much clearer about what needed to happen next. I cannot thank him enough.* **Susan Mason** – Business Owner *I worked with Jake for more than 5 years. When we started, I was still employed and building my business from scratch. He helped me make the decisions I needed to make, including leaving my job and going full-time with the business.* *Over the years, I grew the company from zero to around £2 million in turnover. Jake was there through every stage, helping me with decisions and growth. He was always direct, and I knew I would get his real opinion.* *Working with him made a huge difference to me and the business. I would highly recommend him to any serious business owner.* **Paul Jackson** – Business Owner *Jake challenged the way I was looking at the business and pushed me to make a few decisions I had been avoiding for too long. Some were uncomfortable, but they changed the way we led the company and how the business was structured.* *Within less than twelve months, turnover grew from around £80 million to £140 million. Jake has a very good eye for what is actually getting in the way and is not afraid to say it.* **Sean McKenzie** – Founder and CEO **Jake is a fantastic business coach who gets to the core of issues exceptionally well. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double what I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward when needed. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.** **Peter Barnes** – Entrepreneur **Jake is one of those people I call “my people”. He was the business coach I needed when I was trying to get clear on what I wanted to build and how to move forward.* *His feedback helped me clarify my objectives and build a very profitable online business. He challenged me when I needed it and gave me practical tools I still use in both business and life. I am in a much better place today because of the work we did together. Thank you, Jake.** **Robert Yau** – Online Entrepreneur ## Are You Ready for Change? If you’re ready to invest in yourself and make a lasting change, I’m here for you.
