You’ve started the business… now it’s time to refine.
Entrepreneurship and small business is “work” of a different caliber. A caliber greatly determined by the owner's or founder's state of, know-how, and vision. Your business is only as strong as its leader. You’ve done the labor of becoming profitable, now it’s time to grow.
We all have unique facets that comprise who we are. Those facets are inextricably woven into the fabric of the businesses we create. Our aspirations, values, morals, biases, and even insecurities become embedded in the business's infrastructure. Your business’s success is deeply reflective of successful alignment within yourself.
“You can’t run a marathon on an empty stomach….
is a phrase I’ll remind you of. Marathons, like businesses, are about the journey and long haul.Marathons require the proper nourishment, effort, and energy to sustain the duration and complete the run.”
Akin to “pouring from an empty cup,” you must remember to nourish yourself and be aware of what you need to meet your goals healthily. Neither you nor your business are sprints to end quickly. They are both exquisite creations to be marveled at as they refine into their best form.
You’ve done the hard part of entering the marathon! I’m here to support you in becoming your best while crossing the finish line.
EXPERIENCE
Throughout my career, I have navigated various industries, excelling in every role I've taken. Although I consistently achieved success, I often questioned the purpose of my work and whether it aligned with my long-term goals. Despite this, I absorbed valuable knowledge and skills from each experience, spanning nonprofit organizations, senior living, fashion, restaurants, and event planning. What puzzled me is why the challenges that many people face in their careers come naturally to me
"While I have a healthy amount of notable accomplishments, what truly sets me apart is my unwavering focus on paying close attention to the details of my experiences. I have cultivated the skill of recognizing how the smallest details impact processes, words, aesthetics, and frameworks, allowing me to pinpoint what needs attention. My ability to perceive what others overlook and approach subtleties with tact, precision, and finesse defines me as the accomplished professional I am today."
