I offer a mentoring service specifically aimed at women. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or small business owner, I will help you reach your business goals and will provide the necessary skills to streamline your plans and reach your audience. As a small business owner myself, I know how to make a dent in the market. However, my experience has shown me how much easier things would have been if I’d only had a mentor of my own. To begin, we’ll consider your business holistically. We’ll start with the basics: What do you want for your business and what’s your end goal? This will allow us to determine your target customer base and how we can attract them to your business. As part of this, we’ll cover product, pricing, and value. Importantly, we address these points from multiple perspectives: both the actual costs of your product/service and your mindset. Are you undervaluing your offerings due to self-perception? This is much more common than you might think. In short, the business overview will help us to find your niche and decide how you’ll present that to your audience.
