Who We Work With
At Elevating Your Business we are committed to helping women leaders conduct business effectively, improve their bottom line, and increase personal satisfaction as they grow their Women Business Enterprises (WBEs).
We work with dynamic, driven, growth-oriented business owners and executives who aspire to high 6-figure to 8-figure sales goals. Many are transplants from Corporate America -- professional, independent thinkers intent on growing an enterprise big(GER) than themselves.
Our typical client has been in business from three to ten years as a CEO, president, principal, practitioner, sole-proprietor, micro business owner or high-commission salesperson. Usually between the ages of 35 and 50, she owns a B2B service business generating a net personal income of $100K up to 10M in sales. Her top-notch services and sky-high ambitions compel her to compete with bigger companies and land bigger clients--think Fortune 1000, 500, 100 --cha-ching!
This amazing woman desires to be an influential leader in her line of work--watch out when she really gets going! Success brings her the freedom to influence her community and share her gifts -- something she could not fully realize "working for someone else" or slugging it out by herself without a staff or team.
She finds us when she has exhausted her own set of solutions and maybe even those of other trainers or consultants. Her burning desire? To ignore the B.S and focus on achieving the dream that stirs the strong, deep well of empowerment in her soul.
Is This You?
You started your business to foster the 5 F's of Female Entrepreneurs.
You want freedom, flexibility, full-fillment, family-time, and fun. But lately you've traded them all in for frustrated, frazzled, and freakin' tired! You always wanted to be "your own boss," probably from early childhood. And while money is important, it is only one part of how you define your success. The others are non-negotiable, and you find that you're compromising a majority (if not all) of the things you value the most. In the process, you're short-changing your family, friends, employees, and yourself.
You realized that it's frig'n lonely at the top.
When you started your business, you never imagined all the busy-ness you'd encounter or the number of hats you'd be wearing. You're doing way too much of what you hate and precious little of what you love. You want to build a retirement and create your legacy; however, your company isn't sellable and you haven't created a succession plan. You could really use someone who is objective and has your best interest at heart bullet-proof your ideas and give feedback.
You can't focus on growth because you're always fighting the next fire.
There are tough decisions you've been putting off because you're unsure of the right course of action. Every week you dutifully move them around on your monstrous "To Do" list until you "have time" to focus and devise solutions. This never happens. The list has practically sprouted legs and is inclined to dash off gleefully like a diaper-less toddler. You need to create a strategic business plan that covers the fundamentals (so you don't have to worry) and paves the way to wild success.
You avoid thinking "bigger" knowing your life is jam-packed already.
Being a control freak will indeed keep your company manageable (if you work 60+ hours per week), but it will also be too small to achieve your ultimate vision. You can't do it all yourself anymore. And limiting your company's growth doesn't serve you, your employees, or your community. Until cloning becomes available, you need systems. With systems that you've custom-designed yourself, everyone will know what you do -- exactly how you want it done. You won't have to worry about leaving the office to take advantage of a last-minute trip or conference. You deserve to be a tiny bit self-indulgent, right?
You want to master the art of using time wisely.
You don't like to waste resources and want to make good decisions quickly. You ask questions such as: "Which financial reports do I need scrutinize? Will joining this networking group help me build good business relationships? What is the best use of my time right now?" Unable to set priorities (everything is important), you find yourself "To-Doing" with no direction. Your mind swims when you see others developing marketing funnels, Internet-based campaigns, and multiple income streams. You want to spend your time working smarter and focusing on revenue-building activities, too. But you have no idea where to begin.
You are frustrated with some of your current clients.
You've grown weary of demanding clients. You hate to admit it, but most interactions with clients leave you drained and uninspired. You wonder how you can raise your prices (so you can actually draw a paycheck consistently). You are ready for larger clients or longer projects. You've thought about restructuring your services and/or business model to attract a specific niche or high-end clients. Bottom line, you're not attracting ideal clients who value your services and boost your margins. You're experiencing a strong, life-sucking vortex and you need to escape at light speed!
You adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and quality.
Neither ethical nor moral shortcuts exist in your world. You believe business "best practices" should be everyday occurrences.
Without the politics of the corporate world (one big reason you left) nothing should get in the way of doing things "your way". But your intentions crumble as you struggle with the problems of expanding your staff and take more shortcuts just to keep up.
If you resonated with any of those scenarios, you're not alone. If you want to play the business game at the highest level, we're here to help you succeed. We've worked with 100's of clients who were in your shoes. They now run businesses that serve their lives--not the other way around!
