Who is Going to Stop You?

“The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me." – Ayn Rand, author and philosopher

Think back to why you started your business. Imagine yourself back there, perhaps weighing the pros and cons – and ultimately, taking the leap of faith that brought you here today.

Looking back, what do you consider your most important business achievement? What was your most influential business failure, maybe one that had a surprisingly positive outcome?

Learning from the past is crucial to creating present and future scenarios that look and feel like major advances. So this is not just a thought exercise…

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

When you look back at your business journey, what stands out as the biggest leap forward or the most troubling steps back?

Here’s the Twist . . .

I lost my first company because I didn’t know what I didn’t know.

My political consulting and lobbying business had grown nicely over eight years, and I juggled three small children while facing a surprise divorce. It never occurred to me that I could sell my business, so I closed the doors to get a job, stop traveling, and stabilize things for my children.

That is why I’m so passionate about advocating for women business owners and helping them actively build the future of their dreams. Helping women see the potential and understand all their options is a privilege I don’t take lightly.

Building a solid business with consistent, predictable revenue sets the stage for a prosperous present and future:

• What is the first step to having consistent, predictable revenue?
• What service do you offer that works in any ‘season’? Have you noticed any trends when your revenue is up or down from year to year?
• What steps have you taken to build a revenue engine that brings consistent, predictable revenue?

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

In my experience, women don't retire; they transition into a new stage of purpose and impact. Whether you are 40 or 60, the idea of retirement may not appeal to you. Just because you can retire doesn’t mean you’ll want to.

Are you ready to build a prosperous present and future?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.
