Orienting For The New Year

A new year – a fresh start – another opportunity to reach your goals. Happy New Year!

The new year can feel hopeful and exciting, as a transition into new phases and experiences.

Each transition demands that you reorient yourself to something new, whether it's a shift in your market, an expansion of your services, or positioning your company for your exit.

As you adapt to new circumstances, your perspective broadens, your skills deepen, and your resilience strengthens…

How will you transition in the new year? What are your top three priorities for 2026?

Patty’s Perspective . . .

Gracefully moving from one phase of life, one stage of business, or one type of relationship to another is a challenging, often joyful, sometimes vexing transition.

I think of all life transitions as new thresholds to cross. Everyone experiences them – but not everyone can plan ahead.

That’s the advantage you have in building and exiting a business. You can determine the approach, timing, and outcomes you want. You can think through scenarios of what works best for you and your family.

Navigating transitions can be an exhilarating challenge. It's about stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the unknown.

Reorienting and building real business value takes time, and positioning your company for your exit can take five years or more. Build value now, so you can exit when you are ready, in a way that makes sense for you.

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.

Are you ready to exit your business on your terms?

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.
