I’ve helped clients make more progress in months than they’ve done in years, and I’m confident that I can help you, too.

Why? Because years ago, I was you.

In 2012, I started a consulting service. I had big plans for this baby business of mine. I was going to coach business owners, host workshops and events and rent out desks to other entrepreneurs in my coworking hub.

There was only one problem. I had no clue how to price my services and charge what I was worth.

I was spinning my wheels, overworked because I lacked boundaries, and pretty soon, I threw in the towel and started working for the family business.

But after a few years, I still had the entrepreneurial itch again. So I gave the business thing another go. Except this time, I knew what I needed to do differently.

What changed?
I did.

I knew what to charge for my services. I learned how to set boundaries and protect my time. And I figured out how to create processes and structures inside my business that made those long, stressful days a thing of the past.

And I can show you how to do the same.

If you’re reading this, then you’ve probably already invested countless hours and hard-earned dollars into your business. You’re not afraid of hard work, but you might have gotten to the point where you’re wondering if all that hard work is ever going to pay off, right?

Well, I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to work harder.

Yup, you read that right.

You don’t need to work harder. You need to work smarter.

You need to set prices that will give you enough space and time to do your best work.

You need processes and structures that will allow you to stop burning the midnight oil and maybe even take some time off.

And you need to set boundaries in your business to protect your energy and your sanity.

How lovely does that sound, huh?

You don’t need to do all the things. You don’t need a picture-perfect Instagram feed or 10,000 followers. You just need to do the right things. And I can help with that.
