I'm thrilled about the opportunity to unite a vibrant community of business owners who share a passion for growth and innovation. With over 30 years as a self-employed business owner, my career has been a tapestry of diverse roles that have shaped my approach to business and leadership.My professional journey began in the dynamic world of broadcasting, where I cut my teeth in Operations and Sales positions for a major market company. This foundational experience taught me the nuances of high-stakes sales strategies and operational management in a fast-paced environment.Building on this, I transitioned into the financial sector, serving as a Client Associate and later as an Operations Manager for two respected financial security firms. Here, I developed a keen understanding of financial operations and strategic planning, which proved invaluable as I moved forward in my career.As a fractional COO, I've had the privilege of guiding many small businesses, helping them streamline their processes and scale efficiently. My hands-on experience as a project manager for several community projects further solidified my ability to lead and organize complex initiatives.Throughout these experiences, I've learned the importance of building a business with integrity and value—a lesson that became all too clear when I sold my interest in a multi-million dollar venture and faced unexpected challenges.Now, with a wealth of knowledge and a focus on creating sustainable success, we tackle the challenges of scaling up together. Our collaborative space is filled with smart strategies, cutting-edge solutions, and a wealth of shared knowledge.Remember, it takes a village to raise a business, and that's exactly what we're building. With my extensive background and our collective expertise, we're not just growing businesses—we're cultivating lasting legacies. Let's grow together!
