Consulting
every business needs a solid foundation, without it nothing else can stand up
Not everyone likes to dig into the systems and procedures of running a business. Sadly, when these things are overlooked in favour of the “I just want to <insert the thing you do>” approach, failure can be lurking in the shadows.
Like building a house every business needs a solid foundation, without it nothing else can stand up for very long. This means doing some of the yucky stuff before you even get out there and serve your people.
Businesses continue to weather storms and grow because they have a set of operating procedures to guide them. While you may detour from these procedures, having them to return to when things get a little shaky is invaluable.
From creating containers for how you manage your work flow, to understanding your numbers and making sure you not only charge an amount that covers your costs but also makes it worthwhile you showing up, to setting boundaries around when you will and will not be available. Every part of running a business is interconnected and if one part is clunky soon enough other parts will start to wobble.

The Process
ONE
Are we a good fit? This is the single most important thing to me. Send me an email and let me know what you need, what you’re struggling with or what you want to achieve. I’ll get back to you and let you know if and how I can help, then we jump on a call.
TWO
The get to know each other Zoom call. An informal chat to meet each other and discuss the best way I can support you along with the expected cost. It’s important you feel comfortable bringing me into the fold. As my consulting services require you to implement the changes, I bring both an external perspective and a pinch of butt kicking to keep you moving forward.
THREE
We dive in! Whatever it is you need support with I will tailor a process to suit. This may look like a series of Zoom calls or phone calls, corresponding via email, or for those who are local, in person collaboration sessions can be arranged.
FOUR
You implement the changes, we monitor and adjust as needed. Or if you’re feeling confident enough to fly free you monitor and adjust knowing that you have me there should you need me.
PRICING
Rather than offer set packages that lock you in for a term, consulting services start at $199 and build up and out from there. As with everything I do, it is tailored to you, if you have a budget we’ll discuss what’s achievable inside of that. My end goal is to see as many people succeed in their business dreams as possible. Whether that’s a side gig to your 9 to 5, or your full time passion, I love seeing people succeed.

Lets Get Creative!
I like to keep this simple. You hit “email me” and let me know what you need, what you’re struggling with or what you want to achieve. I get back to you and let you know if and how I can help, then we jump on a call, usually Zoom and see if we’re a match. No hoops to jump through just drop into my inbox.
