"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
This quote by Albert Schweitzer has guided me through countless challenges as an entrepreneur, a mentor, and a woman navigating the complex world of business. It’s a reminder that fulfillment comes not from ticking boxes, but from building a life and business you truly love.
Why is this my favorite? Because it perfectly aligns with how I approach not only my own journey but also how I work with the women entrepreneurs I serve. Business isn't just about profitability (although that's important!); it's about creating something sustainable, purposeful, and in tune with your ideal lifestyle.
I know firsthand how hard it can be.
Over 20 years ago, when I first stepped into entrepreneurship, I faced more than my share of sleepless nights. Juggling priorities, doubting my value, and wondering if I was really cut out for this—sound familiar? The truth is, I’ve been where you are. I’ve navigated the fear of failure, the pressure to be everything to everyone, and the constant questioning: “Am I doing enough?”
But resilience isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress.
Through it all, I discovered that strategy is my superpower. Not just the kind that looks good on paper, but the kind that brings clarity to chaos. I found joy in the process of building something meaningful and in sharing that process with others.
Today, my passion is helping women entrepreneurs in the service sector build businesses that reflect their dreams, their values, and their unique strengths. Whether it’s redefining success, improving profitability, or aligning your work with your ideal lifestyle, my mission is to empower you to create a business that feels as good as it looks.
Because your business isn’t just a business—it’s your legacy.
A Little About Me
I’m an introvert who thrives on deep, meaningful connections. While I’m very much a social person, I prefer to be intentional about how I connect with others. For me, it’s not about networking for the sake of it—it’s about forming relationships that matter.
When I’m not diving into spreadsheets or coaching calls, I live a quiet life with my two beloved pets. Larry, my retired greyhound, is always up for a walk (or a nap!), and Sasha, my rescued tortoiseshell cat, keeps me company while I work. You might also find me savoring a good cup of coffee or enjoying moments of calm in Ann Arbor’s vibrant local scene.
If you’re ready to embrace a more intentional, sustainable way to grow your business, I’d love to connect. Let’s start turning your plans into profits and your vision into reality.
"My mission is to empower women entrepreneurs to embrace the full potential of their businesses by integrating financial and operational insights with a clear sense of purpose and intention. Together, we build strategies that drive long-term sustainability, growth, and success—both in business and in the lives they envision for themselves."
