I was honored to be named one of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the Northwest and recently won the Portland Chamber of Commerce’s prestigious President’s Award in recognition of my years working on behalf of the small business community. I’m also proud of my Master’s degree and my marriage—both of which I dived into as part of my “encore,” at 58!In the 30 years I’ve spent coaching small businesses and solo entrepreneurs, I had not been able to find any consistent models that focused on individuals in business--a vibrant and vital population. Traditional business advice, based on hiring and managing employees, just doesn’t cut it for people who are passionate about what they do and who want to keep doing their specialties—not hire other people to do it for them. That’s why I developed Better, Smarter, Richer.Specialties: Working with solopreneurs--including creative and encore entrepreneurs--to help them achieve financial success using the principles from my book, Better, Smarter, Richer.
