Why we do it. Because…

I love small business. I love the creativity, the innovation, the uniqueness, the personal nature of it.

I love that it gives small business owners like you and me the opportunity to create our own destinies, to live life on our own terms, to contribute to our communities, and to reach our full potential.

What I discovered when I started my first business in 2002 is that the reality of running a small business doesn’t always match the dream.

That is why I am on a mission to save small business from extinction and give business owners the tools to build thriving companies and still have a life.

When I met Mike Michalowicz in 2012 I was a small business coach feeling frustrated and exhausted because I was reinventing the wheel with every client. I wanted a reliable process at my fingertips that would consistently produce the transformation my clients were seeking.

After reading The Pumpkin Plan, I knew that we could take his methods and turn them into a step-by-step program that would reliably produce business growth and freedom for small business owners.

And that’s what we did.

Today, I am fulfilling my mission by training, certifying, licensing and supporting Small Business Growth Strategists in The Pumpkin Plan Action Guide. Since 2013, our Pumpkin Plan Strategists have successfully used this robust suite of tools and methodologies to consistently help their clients to grow, thrive and create their own destinies. And even better, the Pumpkin Plan Strategists are building their own thriving businesses as well.

I believe owning a small business is the best way to make a change in the world. By honoring the fullness of our lives, our unique strengths, and our values, we can set an example for others of what is possible when running a profitable business.

I started my entrepreneurial journey as a VA in 2019 and quickly shifted into online business management. By learning how to better support my clients from a strategic and operational standpoint, I was better equipped to help them grow their businesses in a way that supported the lifestyles they wanted to live.

Since then, I have served more than a dozen clients in creating and implementing strategic, intentional, and custom launch plans so they could let go of the launch dread and put more offers out into the world.

As a solopreneur, I’ve experienced all the highs and lows of running a business. My work at Pumpkin Plan Your Biz feeds my passion for discovery and then guiding others in understanding the strategies and lessons I have learned to create sustainable businesses that support them in a thriving life.

I believe entrepreneurship is the best way to create a life you love while making an impact on your local community and the world.  My mission is to help entrepreneurs create more than just financial success, what I like to call your own JOY empire.  I know when you do, the positive ripple effect spans far and wide.

For the past 20+ years, I have been helping entrepreneurs and small businesses grow lean and profitable businesses that not only run with simplicity and ease, but align with their heart and soul.

The work that I do at Pumpkin Plan Your Biz allows me to see first-hand the impact and ripple effect we are making in the world.  It allows me to maximize my certifications and training, as well as align with my own immutable laws.  I can’t wait to support you in up-leveling your business.
