Welcome! I’m Teresa
Listen, we don't know each other very well yet so I'm going to share a couple of things right up front.
I want you to know I'm going to shoot straight with you, always. We joke that when my friends want to be coddled, they call their mom and when they want the truth, they call me. It's not always the most popular thing out there or even the most comfortable, yet it always comes from love and my want for their highest good. Turns out, it's not just my friends I do that with, it's how I do life as a whole.
The other thing I want to share is one of my core beliefs. It fuels me and the work I do, year after year.
We all have the power to make a difference. I believe one of the best ways to do that is to own a successful online business. It’s powerful and incredibly rewarding!
Now that doesn't mean it’s a walk in the park. Especially in the early days and as you begin to grow. By now I’m sure you wish there was a bullshit-ometer that could take you back in time so you could get back the money and time that you’ve invested running in circles, right?
I feel you!
Here’s the plain and simple truth:
It takes work, lots of it - and it takes time.
You have to be willing to dig deeper than the templates and checklists in the latest guru's course or program.
To be the CEO of your business you have to be committed to the purpose behind your vision-- and prioritize the time to see it through and bring it to life.
Time & time again, I see online business owners, who are working themselves to the point of exhaustion just trying to do ‘it’ right. They are buying program after program and finding what feels like empty promises & under delivery.
And they think it’s them. The frustration builds and they begin to wonder if they're even cut out for this.
Sound familiar?
Are you feeling:
- Exhausted & trapped in your office and still can’t keep up?
- Like you’ve plateaued. You can’t make the jump to the next profit goal no matter what you try?
- Borderline hopeless because you haven’t found the ONE thing that speaks to ALL of the things at the heart of what you need as a business owner - the relief that a clear path forward provides?
Are you doing all of that while trying to stay afloat and provide (as best you can) a quality experience to your clients and/or customers?!?
So, what do we do?
We get pulled in by the hype of the next “hot” thing, like a shiny new "how to make a million $" course, and end up buying things we aren’t ready for (or that don’t actually fix the real problem), only to add more tasks to the never-ending list that we are already drowning in.
And then what happens?
We hit 'that' wall. You know the one I'm talking about. The one that paralyzes us and reinforces our exhaustion. We start asking ourselves “Where’s the promise of MY online dream?”
All too often, I have seen incredible people with wonderful business ideas suffer along until they ultimately throw in the towel.
I don’t want that to be you! It doesn’t have to be that way!!
Now that we’re here, I want to personally invite you to step into my world of Growth Strategies Café
If you…
- Are floating anywhere between $2000-$10,000 per month and you’re ready for your next shift
- Have a program, course, or product that’s proven but it's not getting the sales it deserves
- Are excited & energized for your business but you’re unsure of the next right step
- Have a few systems in place but you could be more organized
- Are emotionally ready for a team, you may have 1 or 2 VA’s, but you aren’t financially or organizationally ready to bring on the next round of help
- Want to focus on the "right" things in your business
- Feel like it's right there, just out of your reach
Then you are in the right place and I am super stoked that you are!
Now, who the heck am I to be helping you transition to becoming the CEO of your business?
I know what it’s like to struggle with feeling the frustration of spinning my wheels and wanting to throw in the towel (more than once!)...
I’ve had my own journey of working through the same things many others have experienced --
- Thinking I was doing all of the “right” things
- Plateauing
- Buying the expert courses
- Feeling like I must not be good enough because nothing was working
- Jolting awake in the middle of the night either remembering something I forgot or worried that I was going to have to call it quits.
I had to step into my own personal power just like I’m inviting you to do. And I had to begin to do things more purposefully.
I don’t believe for a minute that you were given the seed of your dream to torment and frustrate you. I do believe it was given to you because not only can you do it, there are people waiting to hear it in the way only you can say it. And, hear me, your dream IS possible! Like anything else, it just takes the right resources and the right mentor. It may feel uncomfortable for a bit. You simply have to exercise those CEO muscles and before you know it, you’ll be a natural.
If you want to experience:
The relief that comes from finally
getting off of that freaking plateau
Confidence that your operations are serving your mission & vision
More time to spend any way YOU want to spend it
I've Got You!
Growth Strategies Café
The online space has been my "office" for 13+ years. The 13 is how long I have been full time and the + is for the part-time years before that when I was trying to figure it all out.
As you can imagine, I've seen and done a lot in that time and my business has morphed and grown with me. I've built websites, membership sites, courses, taught email marketing, helped facilitate conferences, mentored online business owners, gotten certifications in Online Business Management, Director of Operations and others.
Over the last few years, I have been working with five to seven-figure businesses owners. During that time, as prospect calls came in, I talked with many beautiful people who reached out because they knew they needed help. They weren't sure what kind of help, but they knew they were missing whatever it was that would allow them to scale.
An Online Business Manager or Director of Operations sounded great, but it wasn't what they really needed at the place they were in their business. I would always offer tips and some guidance but I knew it wasn't enough. I kept wishing there was a way I could help. To be able to provide them with everything I knew as an OBM & DOO, the foundation and tools they needed to succeed.
That's when the seeds were planted that would eventually became Growth Strategies Café.
Fast forward a couple of years and you've got Growth Strategies Café. It is the culmination of everything I've learned along the way, coupled with being able to work with other incredible emerging and expert level business owners who can reap the benefits of my experience at a price point that allows them to know what the "big dogs" know, much earlier.
I am so grateful that I listened to that pull last year and my heart is full.
Like I said in the beginning, I’m not going to feed you bullshit, ever. Blowing smoke up your ass isn't my style. Besides, it won't serve either you or me.
It’s not always going to be easy. It won’t look sexy at first. I’ve made it my mission to not watch brilliant people wither up and call it quits simply because there are not resources available at your level of business that are available to the big names.
There is a better, more effective way. The better way takes work. And guess what? The better way makes a bigger impact… and more money!
This business that you have, it was built from you, your gifts, your talents, your desire to serve & support.
You freaking matter. You have power. You just have to OWN IT!
You can make a difference in someone else’s life. How dare you not?! I challenge you to get the heck up and go do your freaking thing!
Need help? I'd love to help guide you off the plateau where you're trapped and on to the business you imagined!
It’s time to get the momentum going again!
