I started my business from scratch: but YOU don’t have to! | Mentoring starts at $200/hr

Let’s Learn Cool Things Together!

I really wish I had done mentoring with someone who knew what they were doing. In the first 4 years I went through 4 different websites, and spent thousands on SEO experts that did nothing for my organic search reach. I had no-one I could trust. Through failure I’ve found success. I’ve also continually grown my business while working on my own terms around my family, spending summers with my kids and even starting a nonprofit.

If you are looking to take your business to the next level – I have a basic business in a box that gets you brand assets, a basic Square space website, keyword research, all google business (console, analytics ect.) set up AND BRAND photography all for one cost!

It’s been a weird year, folks. This year has been bonkers. There’s just no other way to say it - it’s been weird. And if you follow me on social media, you’ve seen that my family and I have been through a lot. Lots of changes - and most of them have turned out alright...
