From Entrepreneur to Small Business Champion: My Journey as a Business Consultant

As a small business consultant with over 35 years of entrepreneurial experience, a business and accounting degree, and a proven small business consulting track record of helping businesses succeed, I bring a unique perspective and a deep understanding of what it takes to build and grow a thriving company. My journey as an entrepreneur has taken me through various industries, from publishing to marketing, and has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to help other small business owners achieve their goals.

My Entrepreneurial Journey

I’ve walked in your shoes, experiencing the challenges and triumphs that come with running a business. It’s this firsthand experience, combined with my formal education in business and accounting, that fuels my passion for helping small business owners like you navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship and reach new heights of success. I understand the sacrifices you make, the risks you take, and the dedication it takes to build a profitable and sustainable business, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

In addition to my entrepreneurial background, I bring a powerful combination of business, accounting, and marketing expertise to my consulting work. My business and accounting degree provides me with a solid foundation in financial management, budgeting, and forecasting, allowing me to help you develop a strong financial strategy that drives profitability and growth. With my extensive experience in operations and sales, gained through owning a magazine publishing company and a marketing agency, I can help you streamline your processes, improve efficiency, and create a business that works for you, not the other way around.

My Consulting Approach

Over the years, as a business strategy consultant I’ve helped countless business owners improve their bottom line and achieve their goals. By leveraging my diverse skill set and applying my knowledge of operations, sales, and marketing, I’ve empowered my clients to increase revenue, reduce costs, and build a business that supports their desired lifestyle. I take a holistic approach to consulting, understanding that every aspect of your business is interconnected and that lasting success requires a comprehensive strategy that addresses your unique needs and objectives.

Today, I continue to run two thriving businesses – my consulting practice and my marketing agency. These ventures not only allow me to stay at the forefront of industry trends and best practices but also provide me with valuable insights that I can share with my clients. I understand the day-to-day realities of running a business, from managing cash flow and leading teams to adapting to market changes and seizing new opportunities. This hands-on experience, combined with my educational background and consulting expertise, enables me to provide practical, actionable advice that delivers measurable results.

When I’m not immersed in the world of business, you can find me spending quality time with my husband, two adult daughters, and our beloved chihuahuas. As a foodie and travel enthusiast, I draw inspiration from exploring new places, trying new cuisine, and connecting with people from all walks of life. This passion for life and learning translates into my work, as I bring fresh perspectives and creative solutions to every consulting engagement. I believe that building a successful business shouldn’t come at the expense of your personal life, and I’m committed to helping you find the balance that allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.

Beyond my work with individual businesses, I’m also a dedicated advocate for local small businesses and economic growth. For over 30 years, I’ve been actively involved in supporting the small business community, working to create a thriving ecosystem where entrepreneurs can flourish. I understand the vital role that small businesses play in our communities and our economy, and I’m passionate about helping them succeed.
