Hey, I'm Abby

I can help you and your business get along better

You started this  business to focus on delivering great things for your clients, cohorts or communities in a way that fitted in with the rest of your life. 

 

Now though? Your business is demanding that a huge chunk of  your time is spent on ops, admin, customer quibbles and just getting paid. It's even creeping into the headspace you set aside for life outside of work.

 

Needy or what...but no worries:  I'm here to help you reset the balance.

My philosophy

We need the same sort of balance & boundaries in the relationship with our business as we'd hope to have with any other signficant relationship in our life. ​  That means working out what a good relationship looks like to you and then putting in the operational  framework you need to deliver that success.

​

Success to you might look a little bit different to what you've been told it is through years of formal education and corporate powerpoints. I'm here to help you be clear about what it is that you want and to then support you in making that happen.

Evguenia Demenko, Sales & Marketing Director

W"We felt she went the extra mile in understanding the highly complex nature of the product, asking the right questions and  offering suggestions. This is something that we appreciated the most - she became an extension of the team"

Why you aren't getting on with your business as well as you would like.

It's probably for reasons like

​​​​

"I can't focus on delivering what I love and do best without getting bogged down by the business admin."

​

"I want to go deep into my area of expertise but operational challenges are taking all my time."

​​

"Engagements with my clients are getting off on the wrong foot because of unclear onboarding."

​

"I'm struggling to measure what really matters when there are so many measurable things"

​​​

"The call of the duvet is sometimes stronger than the call of my business. My businesss is feeling neglected"

​

"The call of the next opportunity means I am always with my business. My other relationships are feeling neglected"

​

"I can't find the time to juggle my health (physical, mental) and also the  financial health of my business"

​

"My business thrives on relationships, yet I sometimes  feel isolated. The relationship I have with my business sometimes feels flat or unininspiring"

​​

​"Me and my business are struggling financially"

“Abby looks to actively find solutions and I would not hesitate to recommend her."

My methodology

Businesses have similar needs to humans. They want somewhere safe and inspiring to hang out, they want to be (financially) healthy and to find a tribe to which they belong. They want to achieve what they set out to achieve and they want to fulfil their purpose. When you book on a call with me, work with me or delegate to me I'll be making sure your ops, admin and mindset are all well positioned to meet these needs. 

​

Some examples...

Find a place

HAVING A PLACE

Where you, your teams, your clients, your cohorts and communities can gather together in a place that feels good

Measure what matters

ACHIEVING GREAT THINGS

To know you are achieving what you set out to, you need to put in place a few targets, measure what matters and tweak what you are doing if things are going off course

Protect health and headspace

HAVING SECURITY AND HEALTH

Lift health and headspace with effective  task management, team management,  financial control  and easy to follow policies & procedures

Achieve more

FEELING FULFILLED

Accomplish what you set out to achieve when you first got together with your  business and celebrate the successes you have shared.

Community

BELONGING

Build belonging by designing onboarding, welcome packs, talk guidelines & offboarding tailored to your tribe
