Frequently Ask Questions

  • WHY WORK WORK YOU INSTEAD OF A FULL-TIME EMPLOYEE?

    A limited engagement may be all you'll need.


    When a business need requires an independent, business-focused viewpoint to adequately address it, a consulting advisor can quickly provide the comprehensive skills and expertise required without the cost and commitment of hiring a full-time employee.

  • WHAT AREAS OF BUSINESS CAN YOU ASSIST WITH?

    Areas of Service Include:


    Strategic Planning: Let's chart a clear course for your business journey through the OnePage Business Plan. I'll simplify the process, enabling you to create, own, and execute plans that align perfectly with your vision and mission, keeping you focused and on track.


    Financial Management: Financial stability is the backbone of a thriving business. Together, we'll break down the numbers, pointing out what's successful and what's not. I'll identify more profitable price points, pursue investments, and locate potential savings.


    Resource Optizimation: Limited resources, such as workforce, technology, or capital, can hinder small businesses from achieving their full potential. Finding ways to optimize resource allocation, streamline processes, and leverage technology can help overcome these challenges.


    Seeking Business Financing: Banks are not lending, so it's common to feel discouraged when your business loan application gets rejected. Many diligent business owners approach banks for financing, and unfortunately, they don't always get approved for the funds they need to sustain or grow their businesses.


    Business Turnaround Strategies: I help small business owners facing financial challenges or experiencing underperformance, providing them with the guidance and strategies necessary to regain economic stability and operational strength. My primary objective is to facilitate the revitalization of the company’s profitability and resilience.


    Navigating Government Regulations: Small businesses often have to navigate complex and ever-changing government regulations, which can be time-consuming and costly. Compliance with tax laws, employment regulations, licensing requirements, and industry-specific regulations can pose significant challenges. These are just a few examples of the challenges small businesses may face. Assessing your situation and seeking tailored solutions to address these challenges effectively is essential.

  • WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS BACKGROUND?

    Decades of Business Management Experience


    I completely understand where you are. My first company was a telecom business that grew astonishingly, making it difficult for me to handle everything alone. However, I eventually learned I needed to become a leader, not a dower, and delegate tasks to others. After eighteen successful years, I sold the company and moved on to the corporate world. I have since worked with renowned companies like International Claims Administration, Custom Branded Networks, Envision Media, and Visa USA.


    Today, I am semi-retired and have shifted from my corporate career to becoming a fractional-C-level advisor. I utilize my skills to help startups and small—to medium-sized businesses create, develop, and grow successful and sustainable enterprises. I tend to spend a lot of my time assisting owners with:


    • Business planning
    • Improving their marketing
    • Developing their online presence
    • Small business recovery strategies
    • Improve cash flow management
    • Seeking investment or business funding
    • Leadership and performance management
  • HOW DO YOU DELIVER YOUR SERVICES?

    I work exclusively through virtual meetings, telephone calls, emails, and online chats.


    Due to the global pandemic, I have entirely changed My work setup and switched to virtual work.


    This decision has various benefits, including time savings, cost reduction, increased safety, efficiency, and faster task completion.


    Moreover, it has opened up new avenues for collaboration, allowing us to work closely with entrepreneurs and small business owners who have broadband internet connections from anywhere. This fosters a sense of a larger professional network.

  • WHAT IS YOUR WORKFLOW PROCESS?

    Discovery


    I will ask profound, provocative, and disturbing questions to determine how to move your business forward. This will allow me to learn about your business. By asking these questions, I can better understand your challenges and provide you with personalized advice on how to best deal with them.


    Recommendation


    I will analyze the data collected and propose practical solutions. For businesses experiencing rapid growth, I will suggest containment strategies. I will recommend processes, procedures, and controls for those with implosive practices. For stagnant companies, I will propose ways to kick-start controlled growth. These recommendations will set the stage for a robust yet straightforward plan of action to achieve your key objectives.


    Guidance & Expertise


    You may excel in many areas as entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders. However, you may not always have the time or expertise to handle critical strategic, marketing, operational, and financial aspects. You will need continuous management assistance and guidance to tackle these challenges. I am dedicated to providing ongoing advice and business expertise, ensuring that you can focus on your core activities, knowing I will support you throughout the consultation period and for as long as you need me. This will free you from managing all aspects of the business, allowing you to feel supported and less overwhelmed.
