Build A Business That Runs Without Running You

Because freedom doesn't come from more, it comes from building better.

You've built a team, have steady clients, and recurring revenue.

But behind the scenes, you're still the one holding it all together, and growth feels heavier than it should.

I help you move from firefighting and bottlenecks to financial confidence, business freedom, and clear direction,

so you can lead with clarity and peace of mind.

Let's build a business that gives back to your life, not one that drains it.

Certified Structured Professional Facilitator

Helping business owners gain clarity, lead with confidence and grow... without the guesswork.

You're no longer building from scratch.

You've crossed six figures, maybe even seven, but what got you here, won't get you there. And honestly? You're tired of carrying it all.

The systems, the team, the pressure... It's a new kind of challenge now. It's no longer about starting up; now it's about holding it all together. You're juggling more, and the stakes are higher.

You're ready for a more strategic, tailored way forward.

You're proud of what you've built, but it's wearing on you. You're the one that keeps the team going and the bills paid... but you're also the one picking up the pieces and putting out fires.

You want to stop feeling like the bottleneck...

and start leading like the blueprint.

You want structure and calm...

but you don't want to feel boxed in by more rules or red tape.

You’re not alone. And you don’t have to carry it all anymore.

The Hidden Growth Trap: Why Working Harder Isn't the Answer

Most business owners hit a point where hustle stops working.

You're putting in the hours. You're doing all the things.

But the more you grow, the messier it feels behind the scenes.

You're not lazy. You're not unfocused. Effort isn't the issue. Direction is.

Without a clear, integrated game plan, you're stuck in survival mode: busy, overwhelmed, and always just one step away from burnout.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone:

❌ You've tried new tools, new processes, even hiring new team members - but nothing's really clicking.

❌ You’re bringing in steady revenue, but cash flow is unpredictable and the back end's a mess.

❌ You're growing, but only when you're driving everything. Step back for a second, and it all stalls.

❌ You’re making more money, but profit isn’t keeping up and expenses are creeping higher.

❌ You’ve built something solid, but stepping back feels risky - and you're not sure what comes next.

❌ You want to grow, but it feels overwhelming, like trying to build while you're still running.

You're not alone in feeling this way. In fact, studies show that:

"Approximately 20% of new businesses fail within their first year. About 50% of small businesses fail within five years and 65% within 10." (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics)

But those numbers aren't the end of the story.

They're the reason building a business rooted in clarity and direction with leadership matters so much.

This is the messy middle. And it's exactly where I meet you, with a customized roadmap to help you lead with vision, not just effort.

Let’s find the confident way forward, with a clear path that suits you and sets you free, together.

Hi, I'm Annette, and I know what it’s like to feel like the success you built is quietly burning you out.

After years in corporate leadership and walking alongside small business owners, I’ve seen how easy it is to build something successful… and still feel overwhelmed.

I used to think systems and strategy would give us freedom.

But the more efficient we got, the more work landed on our plates. What we really needed was clarity.

That’s why I believe growth doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from building a business that gives back to your life.

My approach isn’t about quick fixes or hustle. It’s about calm, confident leadership. Together, we build structure, financial clarity, and intentional systems that help you lead with peace, not pressure.

Because your business should support your life, not run it.

Why This Isn’t Just Another Business Coaching Program…

You don't need another checklist or course that leaves you stitching together scattered strategies.

You need a coach who sees the whole board, the numbers, the people, the systems, and helps you lead from a place of alignment, not anxiety.

Most programs hand you a piece of the puzzle: the revenue strategy over here, the team template over there. But none of it really connects.

I help you zoom out and lead like a CEO, not just the doer of all things, so that you can scale with clarity, not chaos.

My approach blends practical business principles with clear, data-driven analysis, so you can simplify your systems, strengthen your numbers, and align your business with the life you want to live, not just the revenue you want to hit.

Maria's Story

When I worked with Maria, a landscape business owner with a team of ten, she was drowning in paperwork and late-night emails. She thought the only answer was to work harder.

Instead, we restructured her team, simplified her operations, and gave her back time to lead and live.

Now she leaves work at a reasonable hour, knows her numbers, and leads with peace, not panic.

Dan's Story

Take Dan, for example — he owned a growing trades business but felt like he was always one step away from burnout. He was the default firefighter, fixing everything from cash flow headaches to hiring missteps.

When we first talked, he told me, “I’m the only one who cares, and I’m drowning.”

Together, we identified the real roadblocks, got clear on his numbers, and built simple systems that let him step back and see the bigger picture.

Within a few months, Dan went from late-night worry to calm, confident leadership. Today, he’s not just surviving... he’s leading with purpose and vision, and he has space to breathe again.

That’s the kind of transformation I’m here to help you create, too.

If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, patching things together, firefighting daily...

the growth you’ve worked so hard for might actually burn you out.

You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own. Let’s find a clearer path forward, together.
