Start
{Entrepreneurial Coaching}
You have an incredibly unique idea for a business, one that fills a need in your community, one that makes you so excited you spend nearly all of your free time daydreaming about it.
​
But you don't know where you would even start. And you're terrified you might fail. And you're pretty sure your family and friends are going to think you've gone off the deep end if you even mention pursuing it.
Grow
{Small Business Consulting}
You have an established business that you L-O-V-E and are so ready to take it to the next level.
But you're also tired, and a little overwhelmed, and honestly just can't imagine adding one more thing to your plate.
​​
It might not seem possible, but this is the EXACT moment you need to step back and take the time to re-evaluate where you are spending your time, energy, and financial resources. Throughout our work together, you'll create a plan of action to make your small business more profitable and efficient without cloning yourself.
Thrive
{Strategic Planning & Mindset}
​
We'll explore where you are in your business, determine paths to streamline systems and processes, and explore growth opportunities to increase profitability. Most importantly, we'll work together to reconnect with your "big why", the very reason you started your business. You will step away from our sessions recharged, refreshed, and with a renewed passion for your work
Connect
{Marketing Plan}
​​
The rise of social media has opened countless opportunities for small business owners to market themselves, but it’s also made things overwhelming. Deciding where to invest your time, money, and energy can leave you feeling stuck (or ready for a nap).
​
The good news is that sales don’t come from perfect posts or viral trends, they come from connection, and there is no better way to build connection than sharing your own small business story. In Connect, you’ll learn how to share your small business story in a way that builds trust, sparks engagement, and drives sales—online, in print, or in person.
