Being a business owner may be the loneliest job there is. I help SCORE clients establish virtual businesses, leveraging online tools and resources. I have coached women entrepreneurs for the past 18 years across all aspects of planning, building, and growing their businesses. I've supported thousands of women and underserved audiences across the US in myriad roles, individually and in groups. In business school, I majored in Marketing and Organization Behavior. In various roles over the years, my experience has included recruiting, hiring, managing, and mentoring employees. My media experience was with high-level medical professionals, and my relationship and expectation management performance were recognized regularly. My greatest strengths are in strategy, business modeling, and planning, as well as clarifying and achieving realistic goals after defining an achievable Success Destination; I work with startups (new owners) and owners of mature businesses wishing to grow, as well as owners intending to exit in the foreseeable future who want to maximize their ROI well in advance of the transition.
Among the hardest things for a business owner is to avoid getting caught in the weeds, while holding a long-term vision for their business.
