What Inspired Us to Serve Women Like You
Spinning your wheels? Let us help you focus.
Women start businesses at twice the rate of men. Yet few women-owned businesses generate more than $100,000 in sales or raise angel or venture funding. Our mission is to change this paradigm and help women entrepreneurs create successful businesses on their own terms. We work with founders to clarify business objectives, develop a concrete action plan, and build a compelling story. We seek to save precious resources, identify time-saving solutions and tools, and to encourage accountability.

Testimonials
naming and branding strategy
"Starting a business can be so overwhelming and intimidating. Having Rebecca beside me to guide me through this process has been invaluable. She allowed me to focus on what’s important and gave me insightful, concrete recommendations on everything from how to visually represent my brand to how I talk about myself on my website.
Rebecca is clearly a skilled professional with tremendous experience so she really gets the ups and downs I face as an entrepreneur. She is intuitive, asks great questions and has creative ideas that help me tell my story. On top of that she is so fun to work with and her energy and compassion are contagious.
However, the best part about working with Rebecca is that she is truly inspirational and the absolute best cheerleader. Her passion for my passion makes me want to build the best business I can on my own terms!

business clarity mastermind
"I thoroughly enjoyed the Business Clarity Mastermind morning. I appreciated taking in the information and letting it percolate in preparation for taking action in each area.
I think "mastermind" is a great name. It indicates three experts in their respective fields each giving us her most important hour-plus of content and the opportunity for individual questions, which are really personal consultations. A great value for founders."

new business viability consultation

Having a monthly touch point also helped me to take a step back from the day-to-day and take the time to think at a higher level about my long-term goals and business vision."
