Tell us about yourself
I have been doing entrepreneurial consulting, in one capacity or another, for over 20 years. I started down this path having worked for large consulting firms and then seeing an opportunity to go out on my own. That said, being able to team up with a fellow entrepreneur, our current owner Molly Anderson, has been a dream come true. We now work in a capacity where we not only have the excitement and intellectual challenges of management consulting but can focus those efforts on Diversity and Inclusion, where we know our efforts continually work toward making a better, more inclusive, and equitable world every day.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Helping our clients succeed.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
People management and business operations.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Begin with a base of business or a base of clients that you know you can leverage from the start to get things off the ground.
- Be prepared for volatility, as it often comes with the territory of being a small business owner.
- Know what your differentiating factor is in your market before you enter it and use that as your true north in selling every day.
