To quote David Freeman, Tim took everything that made him weird as a kid and got people to pay him money for it as an adult.
Part Dave Barry, part Dave Ramsey, part that Dave guy from the movie, umm, Dave, Tim Miles has used common sense, kindness and an unquenchable curiosity as tools to help a few hundred businesses - at least those willing to meet force with force and do the work - to be more successful more quickly. He runs an odd little communications company that helps owner-operated companies do more with less.
Tim started creating advertising campaigns in 1995. In the ten years that followed, he won more than 80 awards for his ideas and execution of those ideas. Then, on 11/20/05, he decided entering awards shows was kind of a silly way to measure success.
When their son was diagnosed with autism in November of 2005, Tim learned pretty much everything he thought he knew was wrong, and he's made it his mission since to teach people to look at the world a little differently and separate the merely urgent from the truly important.
Tim's paying clients help to subsidize his volunteer and fundraising efforts with more than a dozen small not-for-profit organizations. In the last five years, he's been fortunate to speak to more than 1000 not-for-profit organizations about how there's never been a better time to do what it is they do, but there's never been a more important time to be good at what it is they do.
Tim's consulted businesses in four countries and regularly speaks to companies, conferences and colleges about how to communicate more powerfully, how to escape the pit of mediocrity and how best to let the world see you as you really are ... not as you think you should be.
