Running a small business is not for the faint of the heart. Borrowing one of my grandpa’s favorite words, it takes gumption and it also requires a wide swathe of skills, from knowing who to hire to balancing your books to establishing a brand identity on social media. And, none of these things happen in a vacuum. They are all going on while everyday life is buffeting you with responsibilities. 

In a lot of ways, I am tough …. I have bona fides that I can point to that back up my claims of grittiness, like finishing a cross country running race with a compound fracture of my foot…big yikes. 

But, I am also a true wuss sometimes. I have been known to cry multiple times after pulling off a Bandaid. There is something about the anticipation and then the sudden shock of the ripping sensation.

You may wonder about this long lead in of my accident-prone medical history and how it could possibly relate to your business decisions. But, trust me, it does. 

Not surprisingly, most of us who have owned small businesses have ended up with bumps and bruises along the way — ranging from the physical to the metaphorical. And, these bruises sometimes make us leary and afraid to take risks, even when we know these chances are necessary for our business to level up. 

However, just like ripping off the real Bandaid that sends shivers up my spine, it is important for businesses to rip off the Bandaid and admit when they need help. One way to do this is to sign up for our new Get Your Ship Together program. 

This program takes a long-term approach to getting your approach to marketing and public relations on track — recognizing that communication can be challenging and that you need to lean into your own gumption and grittiness to navigate ups and downs. But guess what? You’ll have support along the way.

How Does It Work

This package helps you grow your brand’s message with intention instead of overwhelm. We give you the tools to start and sustain your business and branding the right way. 

We start things off with three months of intensive work to get you going. Rip the Bandaid and get it done! The first month starts with two half-day sessions to jump start your business. If needed, you can break these up into 4 sessions as well. These sessions help you figure out your goals, messaging, content and more. We also give you tips and tutorials so you’re also empowered to create and produce your own content. Get those ideas out of your head and working for you!

The next few months you receive monthly support with things like video editing, accountability, strategic partnership recommendations, press relations, CRM set up…all through mindful methods that adapt to your unique needs and goals. 

Here’s what folks are already saying about Get Your Ship Together
