About
I am a small business consultant with excellent reviews. I have started and run a handful of successful small businesses. I know your plight firsthand. Now, I share what I have learned to help others avoid costly mistakes.
I work with growing small businesses looking to improve. I am a generalist who focuses on how all facets of your business come together.
I am straightforward and meet you where you are- I don't have set systems that you have to conform to. I am not disruptive but rather complimentary.
Remember, a good consultant has been a business owner, and "pays for themself"!

I am in the early stages of starting my business, and also in working with Myra. I cannot stress how valuable my experience so far has been working with her, and weve only met a handful of times. Im so glad Ive started working with her this early in the process, as shes helped immensely in guiding where Im focusing my energy and efforts. On my own, I would have probably gotten so overwhelmed by now, but Myra has coached me to take on an entrepreneurial mindset and helped me realize what areas are important and necessary to get started. Having no background in business, but starting to learn via podcasts, books and resources online, I quickly realized that there are immeasurable steps to take a business from concept to getting your first sale. For me, this realization made me initially doubt my abilities and if my idea was worth it. However, Myra has assured me time and time again that my ideas are valuable, my business concept is realistic, and my efforts will be rewarded. She helped me find the confidence to believe I could actually start my business. With her coaching, I really believe I can go this distance to open my business. Thank you, Myra!!

I have never given a Google review before, but I had to for Myra because working with her has been like finding a rare gem. She has not only made my work transition easy, but we can communicate about big ideas and concepts to keep me focused.It is not just about polishing your resume and interview skills but tapping into the little things that make you tick with resources to build your confidence.
Thank you Donna. It has been such a pleasure getting to know you and working together. I look forward to more great meetings.

If you're done with being stuck and are ready to get your business going, hire Myra. She helped me hone in on what I really wanted to do and gave me the kick I needed to get my endeavor off the ground. For me, the dream is in the doing and I'm so much happier seeing the results of my hard work than second guessing myself and going nowhere.

As a serial entrepreneur & someone who has gone the DIY approach for each small business Ive owned, I have to say that working with a businessconsultant has been a TOTAL GAME CHANGER. Myras approach, while not always conventional, definitely helps you to see from a different, more effective perspective. Working with her is like having a super star best friend in your corner, shes a phenomenal coach in not just numbers & strategy but also the mental/emotional aspects of what it takes to be a strong business owner & leader.

I would never have looked into my business idea with accuracy were it not for Myra. As she states, she teaches a man "how to fish". I find myself using her approach to qualifying decisions repeatedly. Due to my work with Myra I have the business acumen required to make important decisions with confidence.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have flexible pricing and will work with you when/as I can. I appreciate the tight budgets of most start-ups, and if I see that you are truly committed to doing the work- I will work with you on price to help you get to where you need to be.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Our first session is an assessment that enables me to gauge what type of help and support you need. After that initial hour, together we will decide what the best next steps are. Some companies need an audit of their business which can take a few hours, and some need me to work within the company for a period of time. Some soloprenuers just need an hour of guidance each week so that they have a road map and can check it off limiting mistakes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a second-generation entrepreneur born to two entrepreneurs. I have always seen self-employment as the norm. I have 25 years of owning and running my own small businesses ranging from the film industry, to all things real estate- development, interior design, construction trades to the non-profit sector.
