About

Don Awalt

International best-selling author Don Awalt is a consultant and professional coach who gets positive results in business, focusing on helping business owners implement sound business practices. With his expertise he has helped companies survive some of the most difficult of times, and to thrive on the foundation of solid business acumen.

Having formal degrees in Business and Accounting from Colorado State University, his background includes over 40 years of experience as an accomplished Business Analyst for many companies – ranging in size from multi-billion dollars in sales, to small businesses running their business from their dining room table. He has found that most strategies successful companies use to achieve profitable growth apply to companies of any size. The main difference is the larger companies can afford the accountants, analysts, operation and financial experts that a young company cannot. Don has created Thorum Consulting to fill this gap, providing fractional expertise, advice, and resources smaller companies need to grow and be profitable.

The approach is simple, and one successful companies often follow – execute a well-devised plan that creates more cash flow than it costs. And this is Don’s number on intention – business development plans that create multiple times return on investment. And with his decades of business acumen, Don knows how to identify the areas in your business that need attention, and what needs to happen to see the returns that make the investment worthwhile.

You, as a business owner, are an expert in your field. If you are like many busy entrepreneurs, the tasks of dealing with the details, processing the numbers and managing risks can be daunting, confusing, time-consuming and frustrating. Rather than taking your time away from what you do to manage your business, Thorum Consulting can help you focus on the key strategies you need to make sound decisions.

When I came to Don, I was ready to give up. It really felt hopeless. But from day one, what he said made sense. Quite frankly, I didn’t have much faith we could turn things around. It has since been an awesome experience working with him! He has helped us through some difficult times in this last year and we now feel we have things under control. With Don’s coaching it has been a huge benefit not only form a business standpoint but through our talks he has been a great support, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually to help me achieve my goals.

I’ve been working with Don for over a year, and the changes have been amazing. I didn’t know how to grow, and what to focus on in order to build my business. Don has a great process of determining who you want as a client, and how to focus on delivering the best product for them. From building better SOPs, client interactions, and forming awareness of all the parts of my business, Don has helped me grow, and dominate my goals every month.
