My Journey
As an entrepreneur, I know how challenging it can be to manage work and family obligations. There always seems to be something to do, somewhere to go or some new marketing thing you need to learn. With so much on your plate, the last thing you want to do is waste time! I for one, can’t stand waste – wasted time, wasted effort, wasted money; wasted resources, it drives me nuts!
One of my biggest frustrations is doing something or going somewhere only to find out after the fact that there was a faster way to do it or get there – NUTS! So, to save all of our collective sanities, I started this business.
In the 20+ years that I’ve been implementing Business Management Processes and systems for both the public and private sectors, I’ve enjoyed exposing operational inefficiencies and process gaps that had gone unnoticed for years. I’m a bit of a nerd in that way; I really get a kick out of using data analysis and problem-solving skills to root out the source of challenges faced by many small businesses today.
Data can tell us so much and when you pair it with conscious, mindful decision making, it can open up many avenues for change, improvement and insight, both within and outside of the organization.
I’m looking for like-minded businesses that are growth-oriented and willing to embrace innovation and technology to build their businesses. I thoroughly enjoy working with business owners who understand why it is more important than ever that we build organizations that are mindful of their role in building safe, secure, sustainable communities that have the potential to create generational wealth.
