Tell us about yourself
I started my business in 2010 after a health scare. I needed to be treated and spend time with my two young daughters. I started my company with more of a focus on tech support and administrative assistance cause that was my background.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Over the past few years, small businesses of all sizes and structures have experienced a crisis in some form or fashion. I have been able to identify a vast need for process and online visibility using search engine optimization and system improvement within organizations. Having a process in place is one of the key factors in running your business seamlessly, but even more so in handling a crisis. I help business leaders understand that a business crisis stretches far beyond PR (public relations). Something as simple as knowing your staff's skill set is a prime example of who does what, where, and why. Preparation is key.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Keeping busy C-level executives committed to implementing the recommended changes to see the end results.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Take the time to get a full understanding of your industry. Understand the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- Research and study your competitors constantly, especially if they are doing better than you. It's important that you see what works.
- Have your standard operating procedures in order. Don't leave anything to chance. Make sure your business is fail-proof and ready to pivot at any given moment.
