Our job is to empower overwhelmed small business owners. We know business owners have all the resources they need to have a successful business right now! They don't need some overpriced and overhyped shiny marketing strategy. All they need is a change of mindset. As a business owner, you have to have a passion just to show up, so let's stoke those flames, build some momentum, and throw extra fuel on the fire of success. Experiences like online training, interactive workshops, mastermind groups, and success principles consulting guide the OSG community to a proper mindset and business foundation to gain confidence and clarity.Being a small business owner should be something you fall in love with, not something that is stressful, overwhelming, and underpaid. We want to inspire proactive and highly motivated small business owners ready to take initiative and strive for success. They are tired of chasing quick fixes and magic-bullet solutions. They are ready to focus on the FUNdamentals and are willing to see a counterintuitive foundation-building, strategic planning, and purpose alignment approach. As they take on these uncommon mindsets we commit to supporting them where they are at to avoid making a new job that steals all of their time. They will fall in love with their business because of the strong foundation they have rooted in the 13 FUNdamentals.

MontCo Consulting's (Our Success Group) mission is to cultivate an uncommon mindset in proactive business owners through essential FUNdamentals to maximize fulfillment by achieving their goals. I have built out the forward-facing portion of the company, Our Success Group since January of 2020. It has been a rewarding experience and I have learned so much and developed so much. Ultimately I want to show businesses that it doesn’t have to be a grind, and there are people and tools that can support you if you are just willing to change your mindset.

I worked closely with the owners to build the customer-facing side of the business. We went from doing some wholesale production to moving entirely to wholesale support for Etsy Shop owners, then other online providers as well as developing relationships with online print-on-demand providers. I built many of the relationships, and policies and acted as an advocate for the customers as we navigated an annual 4th quarter push which saw many of us on the management team working in production, shipping, and covering any role that needed to be picked up to make sure we delivered the holiday gift rush on time. It was a delicate balancing act between customer service and customer education so everyone had a good experience.

My role with the company was to work with the management team on one side and then the Sales, Marketing, Customer Service and Technical support team on the other side. I was tasked with developing new business through strategic partnerships, out of the box sales programs and innovative and cost-effective marketing campaigns. I also managed a team of core employees who I serve to help improve all aspects of the business. I also developed policies and procedures for how we work with customers, manage our reseller partners and our general day to day operations. I was a key part of the growth of the company where we doubled the size of the business in only 5 years. Due to a change in the core values of the business, I decided it was time for me to go out on my own.

My original role with U.S. Screen was to establish a sales force that would enable a company that did 95% of its business at trade shows, to make money in between shows. I helped plan and build our online e-commerce, set-up sales lead prospecting, helped bring to market new products, and developed a worldwide dealer network. I was in charge of the worldwide dealer network and traveled extensively for trade shows and dealer meetings, both domestically as well as internationally. The company grew from a family business with 8 total employees to a one employing at times over 100 people. In 2006, U. S. Screen was listed as the 12th fastest growing manufacturing company in the United States (by Inc Magazine) and also was Inc Magazine's 537th fastest growing companies in the Inc 5000.As of August 2008, I went back to work for U.S. Screen after their addition of a new Equity Partner, Hirsh Intl. Shortly after Hirsh closed the doors of the company for good and I was one of the last employees in the building trying to take care of as many customers as possible before they were completely out of business.

After moving to Boston in May 2007 I found through a local volleyball email list that Brookline was looking for a Freshman Volleyball coach. I developed a team of freshman volleyball players, many of whom had never played volleyball before, into a team that had a good solid foundation of volleyball skills and could effectively run a 5-1 or 6-2 offense as well as a rotational or perimeter defense. I also worked closely with the Varsity Coach to assist him in running a good practice and helped him on the bench to take his team to a regional playoff spot. For the 08/09 Season, I was also the coach if the JV team.

I developed the young men’s technique and also help move them to become a better blocking and defensive team. I worked very closely with the other coaches and helped the head coach with some of the practice plans. I also worked closely with the captains of the team and other team leaders to help them develop the mental aspect of the team. The team was rank its highest national ranking of #6 in the country for all DIII schools by the AVCA, won the NECVA New England Title for the first time in school history, was the ECAC North Champions for the second straight year, had a program record 33 wins in the 2007/08 season.

VAO ran most of the major sand doubles volleyball tournaments in Phoenix along with grass events and skills clinics. VAO was associated with the AVPNext program and many other volleyball organizations.
