Being a small business owner is overwhelming. There are so many things coming at you, all the time. And you have limited time, energy, money, and physical resources to respond.
Doubt and fear make you wonder “Do I really have what it takes? Do I have to choose between money and creativity? Between work and life? Is it possible to have both?”
Yes.
Our 1-1 Advisory Practice will help you:
- Make more money, doing the work you choose;
- Become a Small Business CEO;
- Build a sustainable business, Creating your legacy.
They say there’s no roadmap for being an entrepreneur, but in fact, there is.
There are predictable patterns and actions you can take to move from reaction mode to making conscious choices, to take control and confidence in your future.
Though being a Small Business CEO can feel lonely, you are not alone. There is a roadmap & action plan you can follow. Others have paved the way, and your course to clarity starts here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are You Business Coaches?
Our clients call us lots of things: business advisor, business coach, business consultant, strategist…
There are lots of terms, and they each have nuance to what they really mean. We’re Business Advisors. But if you really want to know, we especially love it when people call us their outsourced Strategy Department.
The Ellevated Outcomes Framework™ examines your business model and creates a customized strategy, prioritizing the most impactful business actions (e.g. pricing, marketing, finances, people, technology, etc.) to help you reach your goals.
At the same time, we know that the personal lens is important too. Therefore, your “why?” is at the center of every recommendation. We are creative businesspeople, who love merging technical business work with human desires and creativity.
What’s the investment?
In our Advisory Practice, we’ve designed a sliding model that is a fair and smart investment for small businesses of all sizes and stages. It ensures partnership and holds Ellevated Outcomes accountable to selecting great clients, whose businesses and drive we believe in.
We’ll happily and transparently discuss the fee model during our consultation call. And please know this: we take ROI very seriously.
We created the Small Business MBA to give more small business owners access to the Ellevated Outcomes Framework™. When you download the PDF, you’ll join our mailing list. This is where we announce workshops and enrollment periods.
Also, while we’re talking about money, we love to share and hope to be a role model: we give 5% of profit to hand-picked charities, who are aligned with our values.
What’s the commitment?
For our 1-1 Advisory Practice, we have a 1-year minimum commitment, though we ask ~60% of our clients to stay with us indefinitely.
One year sounds like a lot at first blush, but time will fly. We start by diagnosing the root cause of the problem, understand why it came to be, and design sustainable solutions. Then, we work alongside you throughout the implementation and execution.
Our Small Business MBA courses typically run four to six weeks.
There’s one thing we transparently and unapologetically say: lasting, sustainable change requires commitment, consistency, and time.
What types of businesses will I be growing alongside of and learning from?
We’re proud to serve as a small business advisor for some of the most brilliant:
- Designers & Makers,
- Boutique Retailers, and
- High-End Service & Hospitality businesses.
We work with businesses who range in size from solopreneur to 40 employees. For many, our portfolio (client ecosystem, as we like to call it) is the value-add that takes everything to the next level.
Alongside the work and outcomes you receive, having an approachable and sophisticated group of colleagues to learn from – while experiencing the highs, lows, and ahas of being a Small Business CEO – ensures that you are never alone. We’re here to guide you, and there’s a group of colleagues in front of, and alongside you.
