High Achiever HQ

Are you successful on the outside but quietly battling feelings of burnout or unfulfillment? I’ve been there too. For years, I ticked all the boxes, climbed the ladder, and achieved what I thought would bring me happiness—only to feel empty, stuck, and disconnected from who I really was.

I help high-achieving professionals, just like you, who feel like they’re going through the motions but know deep down they’re meant for more. Through the R.I.S.E. Method™, I guide you on a journey to strip away the layers of societal pressure, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck, and help you step into the life you’re truly meant to live.

Here’s what you can expect when you work with me:
• Direction: I know what it’s like to feel lost despite outward success. Together, we’ll get clear on what you really want—whether that’s a new career, a passion project, or more meaningful relationships.

• Confidence: I was once terrified of making bold moves, of changing paths. I’ll help you break free from those fears to pursue what truly lights you up.

• Work-Life Balance: I learned the hard way that success doesn’t mean sacrificing your well-being. You’ll gain the tools to protect your energy, set boundaries, and finally create a life where you don’t have to choose between success and joy.

• Authentic Living: This journey isn’t just about fixing what’s on the surface. It’s about reconnecting with who you are at your core and learning how to live in a way that feels aligned and true.

I’m not here to tell you how to “fix” your life. I’m here to walk alongside you because I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how hard it can be to make those first, scary steps toward real change. With over 10 years of professional mentorship experience, I’ve seen firsthand the power of what’s possible when you let go of the things holding you back.

If you’re done with playing small and ready to live a life that excites you again, let’s connect. You don’t have to do this alone.

🎂 37 and somehow, it feels like the real beginning.

Last year on this exact day,
I was working at a $2B company I thought was my dream job.
I had a nice apartment overlooking the ocean in Hawaii.
Good friends.
Solid routines.
The kind of life that I felt settled into.

Never did I imagine that just twelve months later,
everything would be flipped upside down.
But that’s life.

When something new wants to be built,
the old foundation has to fall away.
And that process of demolition and rebuilding
is destabilizing.
It tests every part of you.

I don’t think I’ve reached a major rest stop yet,
but there have been milestones that keep me going.

I’ve been blessed to travel while working most of this year.
My mornings are slower now, sometimes I just sit with a hot cup of something,
look at the sky,
and feel grateful to simply be.

My mental health has completely transformed.
I had no idea how much stress and anxiety I was carrying before.

I’ve launched four business ventures built from heart,
projects I truly believe can help create a world
I’d be proud to raise a kid in.

And being a business leader has humbled me.
It’s taught me that nothing I have,
not my intellect, not my opportunities,
was ever mine alone.
They were gifts.
And I hold them that way now.

My partner and I separated along this journey.
Not every path is meant to be walked together.
But I’m at peace with that
and wish her the best on her path ahead as I honor my path forward.

I’m unexpectedly living as an expat in Southeast Asia now,
where new doors are opening,
including the chance to run my first of hopefully many nervous system reset retreats this December in Bali

And somehow, the distance from friends and family
has made our connection even deeper.
The time we do have together feels richer and more genuinely expressive than ever.

I’m not sharing any of this to brag.
I’m sharing because for a long time,
I was scared to share myself openly, good or bad.
Now I just feel comfortable being me,
however it lands.

This past year, I’ve learned that courage changes everything.
The courage to leave what isn’t aligned.
To not settle for “good enough.”
To believe in yourself and take actions that prove it.
To be willing to learn, fail, grow, and stay courageously transparent through it all.

So if you’ve been on the fence about taking a bet on yourself,
or putting your truth out into the world,
this is a friendly, supported nudge:
you don’t have to quit your job like me to be a changemaker.
But the world does need more of us
leading from the heart instead of the ego.
Creating for people, not just profit.

Today I turn 37.
I used to think life stopped being exciting after 35 lol
Turns out, it’s just beginning.

Thanks for being part of my life in the way that you are 🌏💫

No alternative text description for this image

This month my biggest entrepreneurial lesson was to doubt myself more.

I know that sounds odd but let me explain.

I’m not saying to wallow in self doubt. To feel it fully, then choose what comes next.

I used to think “I’m not ready” meant something was wrong. Now I see the doubt arrives first, and the self belief is born because I walked anyway. 

If there was no doubt, what would self-belief even mean?

Self-doubt isn’t the enemy. It’s the doorway we need to continue to walkthrough that leads us to our next level of confidence so embrace it into the process.

Some of you watched me sobbing on the internet, not sure where I was headed amongst what felt like so many uncertain options. In that raw place, I felt my confidence return. People who understood found me. I found strength I didn’t know I had. From there, I launched a new retreat business.

We made sales in the first six weeks. I’m proud of that. It’s a simple 0 to 1, but it’s real signal. And it started with the doubt tunnel, then a conscious choice about the words, thoughts, and beliefs I’d allow in my mind.

When I practice that choice often enough, it becomes my identity. A self that wasnt created by accident or just a cumulation of my unconscious history. A sovereign choice I keep making.

So here’s my rhythm now: feel the doubt, name the next simple move, choose one belief that helps me move, move, collect the truth, adjust. Honestly… that’s the whole game. Keep walking and we don’t lose. 🌊

If you’re here too, what’s the next tiny step you can take today?

I'm Jim, and I'm a lawyer.

But I don't write about legal topics.

I write about leadership and personal growth.

Why learn from me?

I bring an expertise you won’t find anywhere else online.

Besides leading teams in multiple law firms for years...

And starting two law practices from scratch...

In 2017 I branched out … I co-founded a telehealth website where we helped people overcome excess drinking through medication-assisted treatment and personal development coaching.

What’s the link to lawyering?

As a lawyer, I defend against injury cases that require a deep understanding of medicine and psychology. 

I’ve deposed over 300 doctors and mental health providers, diving into medical and psychological concepts at their level.

I transferred that skill set, along with years of solving problems for clients, into the wellness and personal growth space.

I applied my analytical skills, the same I use to dissect real-world medical and psychological concepts, to pick apart the science behind personal development.

I crafted not just medical solutions (through the doctors we contracted with) but also systemized, actionable, personal growth training for our patients.

And we didn’t just aim to restore patients to an average level of health...

We transformed their lives through growth-focused skills ⚡

Here are a few testimonials we received from patients that went through our program:

✅ “This program didn’t just change my habits - it gave me the confidence and clarity to control my life in ways I never thought possible."

✅ “Your support and coaching is invaluable. I’m so lucky to have you and Alcure. It has helped immensely.”

✅ “I especially wanted you to know that your videos alone were worth the first month. You do great work!”

✅ "Loved your videos on Life Hacks, Minimalism, and Gratitude.”

✅ “My future looks so much brighter! Thank you. I was skeptical, but now I’m proof that this approach works. I can’t wait to see where I go from here.”

After helping 400+ people (many during the pandemic) and generating over $500,000 in revenue, we wrapped up the project in 2023.

Now I’m onto new ventures.

Some more about me:

✅ Made over $500,000 in revenue with a telehealth website while maintaining a full-time law practice

✅ Thomson Reuters ranked Super Lawyer (2012-2025), top 5% in Southern California

✅ Invited speaker

Learn to lead yourself.
Learn to lead others.

James Kamanski

A person who feels appreciated will always do more than is expected.

Recognition is not a perk.
It is a performance multiplier.

Here is what real appreciation looks like 👇

1/ Be specific
“Good job” is nice.
“This project succeeded because of your work on X” lands deeper.

2/ Be timely
Do not wait for review season.
Celebrate wins when they happen.

3/ Be public (when possible)
Praise in front of the team.
Recognition inspires everyone.

4/ Be consistent
Appreciation once a year feels hollow.
Make it part of how you lead.

Because here is the truth:
People do not just work for paychecks.
They work for purpose and to feel seen.

If you want your team to give their best, start by showing them they matter.

High performance is not obedience.
High performance is ownership.

A lot of workplaces still get this wrong.

People expect the top performers to:
Agree, accept, absorb, and smile

But the people who actually move companies forward do far more than execute.

They lead themselves with intention.

Here is what high performance really looks like:

✅ The ability to decline requests without guilt
Protecting your focus is part of doing great work.

✅ The confidence to speak with candor
Honest conversations fix problems faster than polite silence.

✅ The resilience to fail and try again
Setbacks do not define them - they refine them.

✅ The clarity to set limits
Boundaries keep their output sharp, not scattered.

✅ The maturity to put well-being first
Energy is a competitive advantage, not a luxury.

✅ The courage to hold a different opinion
Progress needs original thinkers, not echoes.

✅ The integrity to confront bad behavior
Culture changes when someone decides enough is enough.

High performers are not the ones who say yes the most.

They are the ones who make decisions that protect their standards, their energy, and their integrity.

That is the version every leader should want on their team.
