Your Business, Better.
Using techniques I've honed over 40+ years in business, I help other business owners get rid of their roadblocks for good and take their business to the next level.
Hi, I'm Don!
I've been successful in the business world for 40+ years. It all started with my retail business, Heat 'N Sweep, which is still going strong today. I've created and owned multiple other businesses over the years, including a business consulting company and a jet ski business in the Caribbean. I've also been an ordained Zen Buddhist Priest for 15+ years.
My background has given me one-of-a-kind experience and wisdom. With my vast business experience and Zen expertise, I help people just like you have more career and business success and have a greater positive impact in their professional and personal world.
Iām passionate about helping small businesses.
I’ve owned multiple businesses over the past 40 years, but that’s not the only reason why I’m passionate about this. Small businesses are the foundation of our country.
According to the latest statistics from the US Small Business Administration, there are 28 million small businesses in the US, and only 18,500 large businesses. That means 99.9% of businesses in the US are small business. That’s amazing!
I’m proud to be a small business owner, and I know you are, too. I would love to help you take your business to the next level, whatever that looks like for you.

"Don, I want to thank you for all of the time and advice you have given me over the years. As someone who makes a living meeting with businesses and major companies about aspects of advertising and marketing, I have had a wide variety of exposure to diverse mindsets and business strategies over the past few decades, and I have always been amazed at how some businesses seem to have a kind of magic touch. Yours is one of those businesses.
That’s why I appreciate all of the advice and expertise that you have been so willing to share with me in such an easily-digestible manner and with such clarity. I have so often left meetings with you thinking, “Why didn’t I think of that? It makes perfect sense!”
Your advice to me concerning strategies to acquire and keep good employees was particularly eye opening and so helpful as that has historically been the most difficult part of running a business for me. Our conversations have always been a calm and comfortable experience and I appreciate how freely you offer your guidance in times when I find myself most in need of it. You have really been an invaluable asset to me as a business owner."

"I have had the pleasure of knowing and doing business with Don Davis since the spring of 1993. He has a real passion for quality and “getting better”, and is consistently seeking ways to improve his personal and professional life. Whether it’s a small course correction or a major business decision, you get the feeling that it’s the quality of the next decision that is on his mind. And the compound effect of this decision making process shows up in ways that benefit the people around him, and I think that’s very important to him.
There have been times when I have gone over ideas with him, and even though it wasn’t a fit at the time, I still felt that he listened and gave the idea consideration. This actually may be his greatest asset, a philosophy of asking questions and listening, and then carefully proceeding (or not, in some cases š).
I also think of him as a giver and someone who gets behind causes he believes in. Life is short, and it’s not what you have but who you become that defines you. And being a positive, thoughtful and genuine person is the core of what makes Don a success not only in business but in life."
