ABOUT US

After a long career in the financial industry, where I worked as a General Manager, the company I was with eventually shut down. That unexpected twist felt like the perfect moment to take a chance and start my own business. But wow, I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Suddenly, I was in charge of everything—without a team to help manage all the different parts of the business.

Running my own business was a whole new world compared to the corporate environment I was used to. I really missed having colleagues to bounce ideas off and to help tackle the problems that kept coming my way. It often felt lonely, and I found myself wishing for someone who had been there before—a mentor who could offer practical advice and be a sounding board for my ideas. But at that time, in my small town, finding that kind of support wasn’t easy. There were no Zoom calls back then, and when I did find a mentor, meeting in person was expensive and complicated.

As I navigated these challenges, I started to realize that I wasn’t the only one feeling this way. There are so many business owners out there, facing the same struggles, feeling the same weight of responsibility—not just for their business, but for their future, their dreams, their family, their employees, and their customers. I knew then that helping other business owners could have a ripple effect, positively impacting everyone connected to the business.

That’s when I knew that becoming a business mentor and consultant was the path I wanted to take. I’ve been there—I know how tough it can be to run a business, especially when you feel like you’re on your own. So, I sold my business and joined the Institute for Independent Business (IIB), a respected global organization dedicated to supporting small and medium-sized businesses. I became an associate in January 2006, and I’ve never looked back.

Now, I’m passionate about helping business owners face their challenges head-on. My work is incredibly rewarding, and over the years, I’ve learned so much from my clients—lessons that I carry with me every day. These experiences help me offer real, practical solutions that can make a difference in your business.
