I opened my own business, ThriveWorks Consulting, last fall at the end of August. What I love to do is streamline processes and be as efficient as possible. Within my roles when I was an employee, I was naturally doing that, moving into leadership and getting involved in training. When I changed careers and went into banking, I was assisting small businesses with troubleshooting those types of things. I'm always troubleshooting and problem-solving. I noticed that a lot of small business owners don't have a lot of support or are trying to do it on their own. While they're really good at what they're really good at, there are a few other things that may not be their strengths, like being organized, the filing, the bookkeeping, the financials, and even the connection and pointing them in the right direction on social media and marketing. In my area, we're helping out these small business owners be a little more successful so they can focus on what they're good at.
