I can’t praise Martha sufficiently without first confessing that I was likely not an easy client. My business concept was vague when I approached her, and while I was adamant about what I didn’t want, I wasn’t at all clear about what I did. Patience, calm and knowledge are the tools Martha used to quell my resistance to technology. She even managed to happily engage me with the process—this is no small feat! |
Martha filled many crucial roles for me when I launched my new branding effort. She helped me present myself in imagery, layouts and words that reflect who I am better than I could have—even though I’m a writer! Martha has a gentle but steady way of keeping me moving through my to-do list. She will step in to do what I can't or don't want to, and she is highly capable of teaching me whatever I want to learn. 
Each time Martha shows up on Zoom, I present her with another of those dilemmas that comes with running your own business. She has a Mary Poppins bag of tricks and a contagious way of tackling problems. She coaches me without judgment to a resolution each time. |
Martha is an absolute pleasure to work with. She built my private practice website from the ground up. She coached and educated me through the process with great patience, computer prowess and adept insight despite my novice computer ability. She closely listened to my vision for the presentation, content and usability for my website. I was doing too many things at once and going crazy, as many self-employed people do. Martha turned my business (and life) from a scattered 15-ring circus to juggling just a few plates at once — much more doable! She helped me set up a work/life infrastructure that matches the way my brain works. Now I feel nourished by my business instead of panicked about it. |
Well-conceived visions often come without road maps.

Manage a TransitionA new skill, a reconceived service, a different look and feel: whether your business calls for a sudden jump or a slow build, we'll start with a thorough look at where you want to go and what needs to happen between here and there. Then we'll pool skills, resources and creativity to plot out a course that centers priorities and minimizes overwhelm.
|
Create System EaseWe'll seek out the parts of your business that make you cringe - from video conferencing to passwords, device syncing to sales pitches - and replace them with ease, flow and efficiency. With your favorite notebook or the latest app, we'll build an infrastructure of coordinated systems that works for how you learn and how you organize.
|
Personalize the PathWhat motivates you, and what gets in your way? By leveraging your enthusiasms, exploring your hesitancies and sitting with your resistances, we'll invite your more human aspects to influence the path to your self-employment goals. Hand-holding, back-patting, confidence-fluffing and sound-boarding are key services in the mix.

Self-Employment Business CoachingSole proprietors can do a lot...but none of us can do everything. Martha brings an ease to your enterprise by assessing what you like and what you don't, what you maybe can do yourself and what you never want to, and what vision you're heading toward. Together you'll scratch, refine, hone or polish your business operations, marketing and outreach, technical systems and/or motivational outlook.
Bring Martha a single project, a constellation of systems needing coordination or fires needing to be handily extinguished. The goal of her coaching is to help you create systems you can manage independently or with ongoing resources. |
