Jim “Bone” Hamilton – Business Coach

“I love seeing the light bulb go on when a Nexstar member starts to focus and understand. Even more, I love when they actually achieve what they envision in that light!”

Jim Hamilton spent 36 years in the PHCE service industry, implementing the principles of every system Nexstar has developed, so he knows they work! He has purchased and transformed 28 underperforming companies into profitable businesses, each in less than one year.

“If you can't have fun, DON'T DO IT! I love to see members focused
and smiling. That's when I know I have touched their life.”

Scott Pearson – Business Coach

“Coaching is in my blood and I love working directly with members.”

Scott Pearson remembers his first day on the job in the PHCE industry. He worked in a wholesale house where the only item that looked familiar was a “p-trap!” Now, he coaches new Nexstar members on how to get out of the traps that have been holding them and their businesses back!

Scott says, “I’m driven to make the implementation of Nexstar’s surefire systems as easy and foolproof as possible for members.” This drive led Pearson to co-author the development and design of The Vault® - an electronic, online resource center for business planning, operations, lead generation, marketing and more.
