Her Story
About Tiffany
My journey into business ownership was intentional from the start. After graduating from the University of San Diego with a degree in Business Administration, I built a career that stretched across fine dining, retail, commission sales, management, training, and market development — each role sharpening a different edge of who I am as a strategist and leader. My time in Yellow Page Sales alone had me working with over a thousand clients across every industry imaginable, and learning to communicate, problem-solve, and lead under pressure became second nature.
That experience led me to franchising with The Entrepreneur Source as a business matchmaker — helping people find businesses to buy and securing funding. But I quickly noticed that many clients had the opportunity in front of them and still could not execute. They lacked the mindset, the grit, and the foundational habits for success. So I started walking alongside them through their first year — and that is when business coaching was born for me. It took off. I closed the franchise, went full time on my own, and never looked back.
In 2015, I expanded into financial services, adding life and health insurance to serve my clients holistically. Shortly after, I partnered with LegalShield to ensure the women I coach have the legal protection their businesses require. Every service I offer exists for one reason: to give women everything they need to build a business that lasts — without having to look anywhere else.

Ten minutes with Tiffany
01What do you attribute your success to?
God. Completely and without hesitation. Every business tool I have ever created, I did not fully realize I was creating it at the time. The Business Foundation Worksheet started as a way to keep myself organized. The Love & Like Yourself Journal was over a decade of personal research, healing, and development. I never set out to write a book. The GPS Daily Journal is a seven-step daily practice I built by combining years of faith habits which include prayer, scripture, gratitude, affirmations, and goal tracking. I finally combined everything into one journal because using four separate notebooks was unsustainable. God led me to create an entire system, and I did not recognize it until it was already built. That is the only way I can explain it — He was building something through me long before I understood what it was. Every tool connects seamlessly to the next because He designed it that way. I just showed up every day and did the work. The best part is all my tools work cohesively together. God did that, not me.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I ever received was this: If you try to run multiple businesses at the same time, you will split your effort and dilute your results. The only way multiple revenue streams work is if you can bring them together cohesively under one umbrella and run them as one business. Three revenue streams running separately means you are only giving 33% to each. But unified under one brand, one mission, and one culture? You give 100% to one thing — and everything grows together. That advice changed how I built SGI entirely. It is also the foundation of what I teach my clients. God is clear and simple. Your business should be too.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Do not be intimidated by the competition. There are thousands of business coaches — but there is only one you. Your spiritual gift, your story, your style, and the way God wired you to serve people is completely unique. Hone in on that. Become an expert in it. And have fun doing it. Too many women enter business ownership and immediately feel the financial pressure to produce, which pulls them away from their calling and into survival mode. Stay connected to your why. God is clear and simple — keep your business clear and simple. And do not go into automatic mode, because that is when businesses crash. You have to be willing to evolve, grow, and continuously improve. The moment you stop growing, you start falling behind.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The greatest opportunity in my field right now is one I feel called to lead: getting the Love & Like Yourself Journal into the hands of women worldwide.
We are living in a time where women between the ages of 35 and 55 are being pulled in every direction simultaneously. The world tells them to be a present mother, a devoted wife, a successful entrepreneur, a caregiver, and still somehow show up for themselves — all at once, all at full capacity. The result? Women who are overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and quietly battling insecurity and self-doubt while appearing to hold it all together. They do not lack capability. They lack a foundation. They have lost themselves — and with that, their confidence, their clarity, and their sense of worth.
The Love & Like Yourself Journal was created specifically for this woman. It is not a self-help book. It is a faith-based, structured journey that reconnects women to their identity in Christ, guides them through personal healing, and builds the confidence and security that no worldly standard can provide or take away. When a woman truly knows who she is in God's eyes, everything changes — how she leads, how she loves, how she parents, and how she builds.
The opportunity is massive. The need is urgent. And SGI's mission is to extend that reach — putting this tool in the hands of as many women as possible, across every community, every industry, and every corner of the world.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Everything I do, personally and professionally, is rooted in LOVE (God). To me, leading with love does not mean everything is soft and easy. It means that even when I have to deliver hard news, push back on a client, or navigate a difficult conversation, my intention is always to understand first. I take the time to see where the other person is coming from and find the win-win. That is love in action.
Beyond that, the values I live and work by every single day are integrity, honesty, excellence, follow-through, respect, going above & beyond and fun — yes, fun! I genuinely believe that when you are operating in your God-given spiritual gift, work does not have to feel like a grind. It can be energizing, fulfilling, and even enjoyable. God designed it that way. Hard work and having fun are not opposites, they belong together.
At the core of everything is this: I want every word I speak and every action I take to honor God and represent Him well. That standard applies to how I show up for my clients, how I run my business, how I keep my home, and how I treat every single person I encounter. When you hold yourself to that standard; not perfection, but genuine intention, it changes everything about how you work, how you lead, and the kind of legacy you leave behind.

Start Within. Grow Aligned. Improve to Love. — The Framework That's Changing How Women Do Business
Transform Your Business by First Transforming Yourself: The Three-Step Framework for Women Leaders Who Want It All
Start Within. Grow Aligned. Improve to Love. - The Framework That's Changing How Women Do Business
Women who love and like themselves lead with supernatural confidence, divine alignment, and unstoppable purpose.
There is a version of success the world teaches women to chase—career titles, income milestones, the right image, and the right reputation. Many of us achieve it. Yet even in the middle of all that achievement, something quietly whispers, "I love what I've built, but I don't fully like who I am."
That gap between loving your accomplishments and genuinely liking yourself is where so many accomplished women quietly live. It was where I lived, too. It became the reason I created the Love & Like Yourself Journal and the Love & Like Yourself Movement.
The mission of SGI, which stands for Start, Grow, and Improve, is to equip and empower women to thrive in business ownership by first doing the most powerful work of all: becoming the woman they love and like.
Start Within: Supernatural Confidence and Closeness With God
The most powerful thing a woman can do for her business is to learn how to love and like herself by building an intimate relationship with God. Not the branding. Not the strategy. Not the systems. The work of genuinely knowing, loving, and liking who she is—physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and financially.
When a woman sees herself clearly and builds her confidence from that foundation, everything she touches changes. She makes decisions from clarity instead of fear. She leads from wholeness instead of hustle. She shows up not to prove herself, but to pour into others, and that kind of energy is magnetic.
The world will always offer women an external mirror against which to measure themselves. But real confidence—the kind that does not crumble under pressure or collapse after a setback—comes from within. It comes from a woman who has done the honest, courageous work of healing and drawing close to God. That is where transformation begins.
Grow Aligned: When Your Life and Your Calling Operate as One
Discovering who you are is only the beginning. The next question is just as essential: Is everything in my life actually aligned with God?
Alignment is one of the most underrated strategies in both business and life. When a woman's daily habits, mindset, relationships, finances, and purpose are all pulling in the same direction, she experiences a kind of momentum that no amount of pushing or forcing can manufacture. It feels less like grinding and more like grace.
Growing aligned means gaining clarity about your spiritual gifts and what you are genuinely called to do. Then, you build a life and business around that clarity. It means asking the right questions:
- Who did God give me a heart for?
- How does God want me to use my gifts to serve them?
- What is God's "big vision" for my life?
- Am I making daily choices that move me toward God's plan or away from it?
Misalignment is costly. It drains energy, breeds frustration, and keeps talented women working hard in directions they were never meant to pursue. But when a woman aligns her actions with her calling, she operates with divine favor and a confidence that others can sense in every room she enters.
Improve to Love: Persevere Until You Create the Life You Love
Here is what no one tells women who set goals: the path is rarely straight. There will be habits that do not stick the first time, mindsets that require consistent renewal, and seasons when progress feels invisible.
The women who build something extraordinary are not the ones who never struggled; they are the ones who refused to stop. They keep refining, keep adjusting, and keep going until they find the habits they love, the rhythm that works, and the version of themselves they truly love and like.
Improving to love is not about perfection. It is about perseverance with purpose. It is the decision to keep showing up, keep growing, and keep becoming—not because the conditions are perfect, but because the vision is clear.
This is where resilience is forged, character is built, and the most powerful version of a woman quietly emerges—not in the highlight reel, but in the steady, determined pursuit of her best life through obedience.
Love and Like Yourself: The Movement That Changes Culture and Communities
A woman who loves and likes herself, operates in alignment with her purpose, and perseveres through difficult seasons does not just transform her own life. She transforms everything around her.
She leads her team differently. She serves her clients differently. She pours into her family, community, and network with patience, grace, and generosity. That ripple effect is not accidental. It is what happens when a woman is truly aligned with God.
That is the heart behind the Love & Like Yourself Movement and the Love & Like Yourself Journal—a practical, empowering guide designed to walk women through this exact journey from the inside out.
The world is not waiting for more women to perform. It is waiting for more women to become.
Start within. Grow aligned. Improve to love.
The best version of you—and everything she will build—is worth every step.
