What's your business, and who are your customers?
We a full-service boutique consulting agency. Our core focus is sales and operations, but we can help with every aspect of your business, from start-up to an established organization. We've worked with wineries, print companies, and real estate operations all over North America. Ever heard of Clif Bar? Did you know they had a winery? They are one of our favorite clients!
Tell us about yourself
We got started because we had both stepped away from corporate roles and were evaluating what we wanted to do with our lives. We were having trouble finding something that accommodated the way we wanted to live and what was important to us. Our network started reaching out, asking if we knew of anyone to help businesses with their struggles, and we realized, "Hey! WE can help with these struggles. It's what we've been making most of our careers!" And so Deanick was born. We genuinely love that we get to work with some of the most inspiring people and help them see their dreams come to life.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Creating our dream schedule and life. That's what it's all about for us. How can our work support our life, not the other way around?
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Time management. And turning down business. It's a real test of all of your insecurities and your tenacity.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do what you love and hire people to do what you don't love.
- Only work with people that inspire you. It's OK to say no to a client if you know it's not going to be a good fit.
- Surround yourself with other business owners, and get a good team in place. Accountants, lawyers, bookkeepers.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
The is truly nothing that will push you out of your comfort zone more or make you get really honest with yourself than running a business. But, there is also nothing more rewarding than building something that you can be proud of and leaving your legacy.
