How long have you been a Business Accelerator and Solopreneur Maven?
In 1999 I made the commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other self-employed sole practitioners to grow and thrive in any economy.
Who are your clients?
I’ve worked with:
      Accountants                    Attorneys                  Authors
      Career Counselors	             Caterers                   Chefs
      Consultants                    Designers                  Developers
      Engineers                      Event Planners             Executive Coaches
      Researchers                    Wholesalers
      
What if you haven't worked with people in my field?
I have worked with thousands of clients in a wide range of practices and industries, enough so that my techniques will apply to any field.  What clients have found to be exceedingly helpful is that I bring clarity of vision, identifying their unique offering or niche. Therefore, I can offer resources and ideas no one else in their field has ever tried.
How are you different from other business advisors or coaches?
I only work with sole practitioners and very small businesses. And because I've been a solopreneur myself for over 20 years, I know what works, and what doesn't, to start and run your own solo business. Working together, we’ll address time management, goal setting, work/life balance, and other "business coach" topics. I will also advise you on fundamental business principles that ensure both your survival and your success moving forward.
What type of people do you work best with?
The Breakthrough Business programs, and Solopreneur Blueprint product were created for people who are absolutely determined, excited, and deadly serious about increasing clients, control and profits to grow and thrive in their own business. 
For what type of person does this program NOT work?
I admit I'm very selective in who I work with, and cherry-pick my clients. I won't work with any Negative Nellie’s, Whining Wendy’s, or chronically Skeptic Skip’s.
What exactly is The Solopreneur Blueprint™ and what does it include?
With a series of 90 assignments, Solopreneur Blueprint™ is a complete step-by-step system which lays a solid foundation for your business: increasing clients, control and profits in 90 days.
What results can I expect?
You will:
  • Create a compelling marketing message that makes your ideal client say, "Wow, that's exactly what I need.”
  • Make your service stand out in your industry and marketplace.
  • Create packages and programs so your clients stay longer, get better results, write compelling testimonials, and make you more money.
  • Work smarter at building your practice, not harder.
  • Learn to handle your client’s (and your) time more efficiently so you have time for more clients and more revenue.
  • Close the sale consistently.
  • Create a three year vision for your business.
  • Become an expert in your field, and be paid as such.
  • Create powerful referral partnerships and strategic alliances.
  • Get proven tools, techniques, systems, and processes you can apply right away, and not have to reinvent the wheel.
Can a system like this really work?
Yes! (See Client Testimonials) The result of this program is a business foundation for your work/expertise, as well as momentum and habits of working on your business not just in it. 
May I contact some of your former clients to see what it's like to work with you?
Yes, I encourage you to! Read all the Client Testimonials on this site. See which ones you feel drawn to, either because they got the results you want, or because they’re in a similar profession. Then feel free to email or call them.
How can I guarantee success with your program?
Building your own solo business begins with your own expertise and passion for what you do. Do all the assignments and fieldwork. Be totally focused on your business. Understand that the Solopreneur Blueprint™ is not a ‘quick fix;’ it's not magic and it takes time to implement.  All my clients who have diligently applied every step of The Solopreneur Blueprint™ have successfully grown their businesses, AND have made more money, in much less time than they would have on their own.
Will I recover the investment I put into this program?
Yes, a resounding Yes! Many clients report that they were able to cover their investment with only one new client, even before they complete the program.
How quickly can I expect results?
That depends on how long you've been in business, and how much you put into the assignments each day. Virtually all clients see results in the first 30 days.
What programs are available?
I offer:
  1. Solopreneur Blueprint™ – A complete step-by-step system that lays a solid foundation, allowing you to work on your business not just in it for 90 days.  Hence you can launch your business, not just think or dream about it.
  2. Solopreneur Mastermind – A free three month membership with your purchase of the Solopreneur Blueprint includes one 90 minute call each month: 60 minutes for answering questions members send throughout the month, and 30 minutes for members to share successes and brainstorm as a group. Audio recordings and transcripts of the calls are distributed to all members. You can continue the Solopreneur Mastermind as long as you like, at a monthly rate.
  3. Breakthrough Premier Program – To move extraordinarily fast in building your solo business, you can apply for one-on-one assistance. If accepted, we'll meet twice a week for 6 months to tailor and implement the systems of the Solopreneur Blueprint at a deeper level and accelerated pace. You learn all my systems and processes, tools and resources, and we collaborate to apply them to your business.
