$5,000 EXTRA IN YOUR POCKET THIS MONTH

I’LL FIND IT, CREATE IT, OR SHOW YOU HOW TO EARN IT.

FIND MY $5,000 →

No credit card • No upfront payment • No long-term contract • No obligation

I’M A 67-YEAR-OLD WIZARD.

And yes, that’s a recent photo.

​

I’ve spent most of my life figuring out how to find opportunities other people miss.

​

Now I want to see what I can find for you.

​

Maybe you already have a business.

​

Maybe you have an idea.

​

Maybe you have a valuable skill.

​

Maybe you’re already spending thousands—or even tens of thousands—on marketing, advertising, an agency, or other outside help and aren’t getting enough in return.

​

Or maybe you have absolutely no idea where the extra $5,000 could come from.

​

That’s okay.

​

Finding it is what I do.


YES, FIND MY $5,000 →

​

WHAT IF THERE’S $5,000 HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT?

Maybe it’s additional revenue.

​

Maybe it’s customers you’re not reaching.

​

Maybe it’s an offer that could be selling much better.

​

Maybe it’s money you’re currently spending unnecessarily.

​

Maybe it’s an agency or vendor you’re paying too much for.

 

Maybe it’s work that could be automated.

 

Maybe it’s a new product, service, market, partnership, or revenue stream.

 

Maybe it’s a skill you already have that could be worth much more.

 

Maybe it’s an entirely new business hiding inside an idea you’ve been sitting on.

 

My job is to find it.

 

And if I can’t see a realistic path to an extra $5,000, I’ll tell you.

​

I’VE BEEN FINDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR DECADES.

A few examples:

​

  • At age 11, I funded my own photography business by figuring out how to win a national coloring contest.
     

  • Became one of New York City’s most successful street musicians, earning $150/hour consistently.
     

  • Built a $3 million-a-year massage therapy practice from a $500 investment.
     

  • Generated $30 million by figuring out how to beat Google’s early advertising algorithm — a story later told in the New York Times bestseller Get Rich Click.
     

  • Created the 10,000-square-foot Manger-Weil House orphanage in Ethiopia — an unlikely project ultimately featured in Manhattan to Mekele.
     

  • Featured by Entrepreneur magazine for my “Personal Action Plan,” that put people in custom businesses profitable within their first 30 days.
     

These aren’t the same opportunity.

​

And they didn’t come from the same playbook.

​

That’s the point.

​

I’ve spent my life looking at situations and asking a simple question:

​

“WHERE’S THE OPPORTUNITY?”

​

Now I want to ask that question about you.

​

SHOW ME WHERE MY $5,000 IS →

​

THIS ISN’T FOR EVERYONE.

And that’s intentional.

​

I’m not looking for hundreds of people who simply want free consulting.

​

I’m looking for people where I see clear potential.

​

You might be:

​

  • A business owner who knows there’s more money in the business.
     

  • An entrepreneur with a promising idea.
     

  • Someone with a valuable skill that isn’t producing what it could.
     

  • A business already spending thousands—or even tens of thousands—on an agency, marketing, advertising, or other outside help, but not getting enough in return.
     

  • Someone wondering whether you’re actually getting your money’s worth from the people you’re already paying.
     

  • Someone with customers but untapped opportunities.
     

  • Someone spending too much money on work that could be automated.
     

  • Someone who knows something isn’t working but can’t see exactly what to change.
     

  • Someone sitting on an opportunity you haven’t figured out how to monetize.
     

YOU DON’T NECESSARILY NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY.

​

Sometimes the opportunity is figuring out how to get more from the money you’re already spending.

​

Maybe your agency is doing a great job.

​

Maybe it isn’t.

​

Maybe you simply need a fresh set of eyes.

​

We’ll look.

​

You apply.

​

I look at what you’re doing.

​

If I see potential, we talk.

​

If I don’t, I’ll tell you.

​

BUT FINDING THE OPPORTUNITY IS ONLY HALF THE JOB.

You can find a great opportunity and still fail to capture it.

That’s why I’m not doing this alone.

​

MEET JAMES BAHM: Entrepreneur • AI Automation Expert • Systems Builder

​

I’ve spent decades learning how to find the opportunity.

​

James specializes in figuring out how to

build the system that captures it.

​

He’s a serial entrepreneur and AI automation expert who knows how to take an idea and ask:

​

How do we actually make this work?

​

How do we automate it?

​

How do we build it?

​

How do we make it repeatable?

​

How do we make it scalable?

​

How do we make it require less of your time?

​

That’s where our skills complement each other.

​

HARVEY FINDS THE OPPORTUNITY.

JAMES BUILDS THE SYSTEM.

HARVEY: FIND THE MONEY.

​

I look for overlooked revenue, customers, savings, opportunities, better offers, better positioning, new markets, partnerships, and other ways to create value.

​

JAMES: BUILD THE MACHINE.

​

James looks at AI, automation, technology, and systems that can turn those opportunities into something that actually works.

​

TOGETHER:

​

FIND IT. BUILD IT. CAPTURE IT. SCALE IT.

​

WHERE DO WE LOOK?

We don’t start by assuming we know the answer.

​

We look everywhere.

​

YOUR OFFER

Could you make what you’re selling more valuable, easier to understand, or easier to buy?

​

YOUR CUSTOMERS

Are there people who should be buying from you but aren’t?

 

YOUR CONVERSION

Where are potential customers falling out of your process?

 

YOUR CUSTOMER VALUE

Could your existing customers be worth more?

​

YOUR POSITIONING

Are you competing on the wrong thing?

​

YOUR MARKETING

Are you spending money on marketing or advertising that isn’t producing enough return?

​

YOUR AGENCIES & OUTSIDE VENDORS

Are you getting what you’re paying for?

​

Could the same money produce substantially more?

​

Could some of the work be done differently—or automated?

​

NEW REVENUE

Is there another product, service, market, partnership, or revenue stream hiding inside what you already have?

​

YOUR COSTS

Where are you spending money that isn’t producing enough value?

​

AUTOMATION

What expensive or repetitive work could AI or automation handle?

​

THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVEN’T SEEN

Sometimes the biggest opportunity is the one nobody has thought to look for.

​

That’s what we’re looking for.

​​

SHOW ME WHERE MY $5,000 IS →

​

AI CHANGES THE GAME.

AI isn’t the magic.

​

It’s leverage.

​

I bring decades of business experience, pattern recognition, creativity, questions, and ideas.

​

James brings deep experience in AI automation and systems.

​

Together, we can research, analyze, test, build, automate, and execute at a speed that simply wasn’t possible a few years ago.

​

The technology doesn’t replace our thinking.

​

It multiplies it.

​

YOU DON’T NEED A PERFECT BUSINESS.

You don’t even need a traditional business.

​

You could be:

​

A business owner.

​

An entrepreneur.

​

Someone with an idea.

​

Someone with a valuable skill.

​

Someone sitting on an opportunity but unsure what to do with it.

​

What matters is that there is something worth building on.

 

And that we believe we can help.

​

FIND MY $5,000 →

​

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

1. YOU APPLY

Tell us about yourself, your business, your idea, or your opportunity.

​

This is an application—not a purchase.

​

2. WE TALK

If I see potential, we’ll have a conversation.

​

I’ll ask questions.

​

I’ll challenge assumptions.

​

I’ll look for opportunities.

​

We’ll determine whether we’re aligned.

​

YOU’RE EVALUATING US.

WE’RE EVALUATING YOU.

​

That’s important.

​

3. WE START FOR FREE

If we’re aligned, we work together for the first 30 days.

​

No credit card.

​

No upfront payment.

​

No long-term contract.

​

No obligation.

​

Just 30 days to see what we can find.

​

4. WE FIND THE OPPORTUNITY

We’ll identify the opportunities that appear capable of producing the most value.

​

More revenue.

​

More customers.

​

Better conversion.

​

New revenue streams.

​

Lower costs.

​

Better marketing.

​

Better use of existing agencies and vendors.

​

Automation.

​

Better positioning.

​

Or something neither of us expected when we started.

​

5. WE BUILD IT

If the opportunity requires technology, AI, automation, or systems, James can help build it.

​

Not just talk about it. Build it.

​

6. WE MEASURE THE RESULT

The goal isn’t another consulting report.

​

The goal is measurable value.

​

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 30 DAYS?

If we don’t find enough opportunity to continue:

​

That’s fine.

​

You owe us nothing.

​

If we do find meaningful opportunities and you want to keep working with us, we continue on a performance-based arrangement.

​

20% OF THE INCREMENTAL VALUE WE CREATE

​

That can mean additional revenue or measurable savings.

 

No value created = no fee.

​

And our monthly fee is capped at $5,000.

​

Our incentives are aligned:

​

When you create value, we create value.

​

SHOW ME WHERE MY $5,000 IS →

​

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Because I’m not interested in waiting until 2028 to demonstrate what I can do.

​

I’m running for President in 2028.

​

But I don’t think leadership should begin with:

​

“Vote for me.”

​

I think it should begin with:

​

“LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I CAN DO.”

​

That’s why I’m doing this now.

​

Not as a campaign contribution.

​

Not as a political donation.

​

Not as a traditional fundraiser.

​

As a demonstration of value.

​

You don’t have to vote for me.

​

You don’t have to contribute anything.

​

You don’t even have to become a supporter.

​

If I can help you create value, that’s valuable all by itself.

​

WHY THE FREE 30 DAYS?

Because I don’t want you to take my word for it.

​

And I don’t want you paying me based on a sales pitch.

​

Let’s work together first.

​

You get to see how I think.

​

You get to see how James works.

​

We get to see whether we’re a good fit.

​

And most importantly:

​

WE GET TO SEE WHETHER THERE’S ACTUALLY MONEY TO BE FOUND.

​

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR EVERYONE.

I'm  looking for the right opportunities.

​

People with something real.

​

People with ambition.

​

People willing to try things.

​

People willing to share the numbers and the problems.

​

People who are open to new ideas.

​

And people who want to build something rather than simply talk about it.

​

THAT’S WHY THERE’S AN APPLICATION.

​

I'm looking for alignment—not volume.

​

READY TO SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND?

​​

Tell us about your business, your idea, your skill, or your opportunity.

​

Tell us what’s working.

​

Tell us what’s not.

​

Tell us where you think the money might be.

​

Or tell us that you have absolutely no idea where it is.

That’s okay.

​

Finding it is what we’re here to do.

FIND MY $5,000

Let's see what you've got.

I'm looking for people who want to start a business—or have an idea for one—and want to see what we can build together.


It costs nothing to apply.

Lloyd Ecker, Founder Of Babytobe and Funny For Money

I sold my last business for 23 million dollars and can obviously hire any consultant I want. But when I needed the best person to drive traffic to my new website, I called Harvey because he is an internet marketing genius. 'Nuf said.

tony.jpg

Tony Waag, Director, American Tap Dance Foundation

Harvey was on our board of directors back when we had only a small circle of supporters. Harvey spent years trying to convince us that we needed to offer children's tap classes as a sustainable income source for our organization. When we finally agreed to give his idea a try, we lacked the money to get it started. So Harvey just wrote us a $5000 check for seed money. Many years later, we now offer classes to as many as hundreds of students a month and Harvey's vision provides the sustenance that has largely enabled us to weather two recessions. (As a side note, Harvey donated his time to build our new website and saved us thousands of dollars.) If you are lucky enough to have an opportunity to work with Harvey, you should definitely jump at the chance.
