You’re an aspiring entrepreneur, and I’m your entrepreneurial wingwoman!
I understand the complicated world of small business operations, so that you don’t have to. I will walk you through all of the steps you need to create, run and grow your business, and help you do it in the lowest-cost, highest-quality manner. With close to 10 years working with creatives, tecchies, marketing and advertising folks, I have a pretty neat network of small biz resources and creative gurus to cover all the branding bases.
It’s called the Small Business Sustainability Project because anyone can form a business, but it takes creativity, skill, knowledge and experience to create a sustainable and profitable one.
What I Do, & Why I Do It
Nobody thrives and grows doing work they don’t enjoy. My goal is to obliterate the idea of job burnout, to erase the need for entrepreneurial-minded creatives like ourselves to float along in careers we don’t enjoy, and toil over ideas we’ve yet to materialize. I help aspiring entrepreneurs and newbie small business owners break free of career stagnation and create businesses and careers that resonate with who they are personally and creatively. And I make it easy.
Who Do I Work With?
Aspiring entrepreneurs who have recently, or are looking to transition into the self-employed/freelance/independent life: running and growing a successful small business. You have a vision of what you want your business to be, but maybe don’t know a whole lot about the in’s, out’s and legalities of small business itself. You’d rather focus on your craft, and doing the work you love. I work best with people who are clear on their career goals and focus, who are confident that they absolutely want to be an entrepreneur, and who are so attached to that idea of making it happen that they absolutely refuse to fail, and are completely committed to the process.
What Kind of Coaching Do I Do?
I offer one-on-one consulting as well as a self-guided E-Course entitled “From Employee to Entrepreneur: Starting Up Your Small Business in 14 Days”.
What Can Working With Me Do for You?
Using my 3-tier process, I help you Create, Build and Grow your small business through a comprehensive model that takes into account that not everyone is at the same place in their business, and may have different needs within 1 or all of the tiers.
CREATE: Transition phase where we work on the exit strategy to take your from employee to entrepreneur. We examine your financials, current career, motivations for change, what you need to make the transition, and use that to create an action plan for moving into the next phase of your business, whether it’s full or part-time entrepreneurship!
BUILD: With an exit strategy in place to make the transition, once you move into being a small business owner full time, the focus becomes building your business up during the initial startup cycle. Things we work on here include refining your business plan (target audience, mission, product & services, value proposition, goals for growth, etc.), looking at the financial/accounting/taxation and legal actions you need to take, and create an operations system for how you are going to run and track the business day to day (project management software, customer service principles, product management, how products are bought/sold/delivered, materials acquisition, bookkeeping, contracts, etc.)!
GROW: With the foundations of the business in place and a clear plan of how you plan to run it day to day, the next step is to grow it. Here we focus on marketing and sales to move the business away from startup phase and toward a more sustainable entity. While many are still in the start-up phase at this point, it’s more about devising a sound marketing and sales strategy that will result in X amount of growth in X amount of time.
When Will You Start to See Results?
This process takes 2 to 3 months to really gain traction, and I ask that clients be willing to work together for a minimum of 3 months to truly get value and return out of the relationship.
