Does this sound familiar to you?
“I already have a business
but It needs improvement”
“My head is full of ideas
but I don’t know where to start”
“I don’t know how to design a
business plan or marketing plan”
Perhaps you’ve hit a plateau and need to boost sales? Maybe you already have a business but you need to spice it up a bit. I can help you design a plan that aims to increase revenue and brand recognition with a creative consultation or rebranding strategy session.
Executing an idea can be difficult if your mind is cluttered with other things such as work, the realities of life, and potential barriers to entry. I can help you find solutions and begin your entrepreneurial journey.
You probably know that strategizing is a key component to developing a sustainable business plan and an effective marketing plan. Though you may not know where to begin- I can help you navigate through your ideas to create your master plan.

Frequently asked questions
How do I book a session?
To reserve your session, simply click on one of the links above and fill in the information in its entirety. I will contact you to set up a time that works for both of us, along with payment information.
Is there a minimum number of sessions I have to book?
There is no minimum requirements for the number of sessions you book. You may just have a few questions or need a little guidance and that’s great! Even only one session can be very effective for you and your business!
Can you write my business plan for me?
I do not offer business plan writing services, though I do guide you through the process with the same effort I would put into writing my own. I offer sessions geared specifically towards teaching individuals how to author their own business plans.
What if I take the food truck course and decide
not to start a food truck?
This means you are VERY lucky! You’ve just saved yourself thousands of dollars and a bunch of time doing something you don’t love. Take the time to discover what your true path is.
