Her mission statement is: "The work I do must affect more than the bottom line, it's not the transaction...it's the testimony!"
I help people that only eat what they kill. It doesn't matter if you write the check or someone else does, owning your value and being adaptable is the key to success.

I have so many client success stories it is hard to choose just one, from the attorney that went out on his own - hated it- and after we worked together, was able to pitch his business to another law firm and start a new division; to the Mechanical Engineer who thought no one valued her skills and is now living her dream on the West coast making 35% more than she thought possible. And most fondly, the people I was able to help to start their own small businesses when they thought they were unemployable or had no future. The best stories are the ones I get from people I mentored that have moved from a state of hopelessness into fulfilling businesses or careers.
I could have been a statistic. An unwed minority teenage mother in the 1970's. Disowned by my family, I had to make my way with no mentors or guidance. It was not easy by any means, but I wouldn't take anything for the people who saw things in me that I did not see in myself. “In Corporate America, I helped companies make a lot of money, but like so many others, I found myself totally miserable in that environment. Now, I help people learn what I had to learn – how to clarify what is needed to build an enjoyable and profitable career, whether as a business owner, an employee, or some combination of the two. Everyone wants to be valued, appreciated and respected, but there are specific things that you must do to get there.” - DSB
