How I can help you: You can go the long way by Googling, purchasing guru courses, lurking forums, asking people who are “unwilling to help”, OR you can allow me and my years of trial and error to help you get unstuck. You’re probably procrastinating because you’re unsure of which step to take next.
The best ways I can help you are:
1. Customizing a plan. I create customized plans for entrepreneurs looking to start a business but are unsure of the exact steps to take. In the “Hold My Hand Business Launch” plan I show entrepreneurs how to launch their business in DIY steps within 100 days or less. No two plans are alike. Each plan is designed and carefully curated for you, the client.
2. Business Calls. 1-on-1 business strategy, clarity, or accountability calls for entrepreneurs who need clarity, feedback, or to be held accountable on an idea, strategy, or action plan. I don’t promise to have all the answers but I do promise to ask the right questions, give a different perspective, and push you to do what you need to do. (Available via text as well)
2. Analysis. I will ask tough questions and provide comprehensive feedback on your business plan, marketing plan, or pitch deck.
My past clients include founders, executives, consultants, teams, businesses, and institutions. I offer reasonable rates, flexibility, and quick turnarounds.
