I know how frustrating it is to be spinning your business wheels and getting nowhere fast. Don’t leave your success to chance.

You helped me set up a solid structure and before I knew it I was operating a profitable business! Having such a good road-map helped me grow, enabled me to invest in myself with training, and buy into new lines to keep my customers engaged. I can’t think of a better blessing for a start-up business than having you by their side.

Lisa

You helped me figure where I actually wanted to take my business, map it out, and gave me real direction. Having someone who could relate, with a great business-head, helped me trust in you. And even though I procrastinated, you encouraged me to do the work. Now bookings have increased, I’m able to articulate exactly what I do. You gave me confidence in myself as a business owner when it felt like a hobby before.

You’ve got goals, I’ve got the road-map to make it happen.

By definition there can only be one priority, but as a busy entrepreneur with all the ideas and obligations, it can be pretty overwhelming trying to figure out where to put your attention first.

From years of first hand experience with lifestyle start-ups, globally recognised luxury retailers, and more than a decade spearheading my own brick & mortar business I’ve honed a highly efficient approach for cutting through the noise; defining the end goal; and making easy, elegant strides to success.

I’ve used my skills to transform my original brick & mortar business to exclusive by-appointment access, improve customer engagement, and sell-out events. And applied the same methodology I’ll share with you to support solo-preners launching new services to full wait-lists and make profit from day one.

Stop wasting time trying to work it out on your own.

It’s time to get your customised framework for success.

Frequently asked questions...

What kind of businesses do you help?

I specialise in helping small format brick & mortar retail businesses in the fashion & lifestyle space, and can apply my approach to bringing any concept to life.

What kind of things can you help me with?

Areas of business I can help you with include all of these and so much more. Whatever your goals and dreams, whether it’s hosting a pop-up in a far-flung location or figuring out operational logistics to create more ease, I’ll hatch a plan to help you get there. So even if you’re not sure where exactly you need help, or you have an extensive list and can’t figure where to begin, book a complimentary Breakthrough Session where we can talk through what’s going on, get a feel for where you want to get to, and set up next steps if we decide we do want to work together.

Can you help if I haven’t started my business yet?

Absolutely! There is no greater goal than bringing your dream business to life and creating a career on your own terms. From ideation to implementation; I’ve got you covered.

What is a Breakthrough Session?

We both want to be sure my service will fulfil your expectations. This quick complimentary session will let us talk through who you (and I) are, what you do, and where you aspire to be; give us crystal-clear confirmation that by working together we’ll be an unstoppable force for taking your business to the next level; and help you choose the bespoke business consulting experience that best suits your needs.

Do I need to book a Breakthrough Session if I know I’m ready to jump right in for a Power-Hour?

Breakthrough Sessions are designed to feel out if we’re a good fit to work together. So if you’re confident a Power-Hour is right for you, or if we’ve worked together before and all you need is a little ad-hoc time to help get business back on track – go ahead and jump right in. No Breakthrough Session necessary.

Can I do more than one Power-Hour?

Absolutely. This service is designed to give you easy, ad-hoc access to my expertise as and when you need it. These quick sessions are ideal for workshopping ideas, quickly clarifying next steps, and getting business progress back on track. You don’t need to go through a Breakthrough Session, just jump right in and book your spot direct.

Are sessions virtual or in-person?

Breakthrough Sessions and Power-Hours are virtual. Then, while personally I love in-person, depending on our locations discovery and strategy sessions can be held in whichever format works best for you.  Action & accountability calls will be via video.
