Before working with Theresa, I couldn't figure out how to get my company to grow any further. Our growth had flatlined for about ten months, and I was scrambling to break through the ceiling we had hit. Quickly after Theresa started coaching our team, I realized that we needed more than just coaching — we needed someone like her actually to run operations. Once this happened, I was able to delegate one of the most significant and most growth-stalling responsibilities, allowing me to focus on what I do best: sales and marketing. Since Theresa joined the company, we have grown our business by over 100%, and every other KPI has improved by the same amount.

JonoTheresa helped us fully utilize the tools and technology we'd already invested in, streamlined our process of creating new SOPs, and even reimagined our org chart. We've gained back more hours in our day, become much more productive and organized, and our bottom line is even happier! Theresa is an insightful and talented coach who's full of encouragement and great ideas. We're truly indebted to her for this fantastic experience.

Marie + JessieWhen I first started working with Theresa, I considered myself a 'wannabe' business owner. I wasn't confident in my own processes, worried that I looked unprofessional, and spent a lot of my time chasing clients. Working with Theresa was an experience that kicked me into high-gear. We set up clear SOPs, packages, templates, workflows, canned emails, and so much more. After working with her, I can confidently present myself to other businesses and entrepreneurs as a business owner AND have the processes to show that I am professional, timely, and efficient. I would recommend working with Theresa in a HEARTBEAT!
