CLIENTS & COHORTS

Clients:
My clients are what move me through my business. I work with inspiring individuals who want to take risks, have fun while doing so. They're passionate about their ideas and motivated to make things happen. We collaborate to create wildly successful marketing campaigns and programs that make more money so they can have the ultimate lifestyle they desire. My clients are positive thinkers and appreciate that I am one too. They value that I don't see problems, only solutions and benefit from my approach.

Nancy Castelli - Balance
Nancy has an established, successful professional organizing business. After she did the Ladies Who Launch Incubator with me, I hired her to organize my home and office. Nancy didn't just change my physical space, she also changed my way of thinking about matter and energy.

When she came to me for assistance in growing her thriving practice, I jumped at the chance to get involved. In our first meeting we came up with a direction for her business and are taking her thought-changing theories and practices and developing a training program that will help her reach a larger audience. She is now writing her first book and working on a pilot for an upcoming TV show on home organizing.

Teresa Marchese - Rock Solid Fitness
I joined Teresa's Rock Solid Fitness group after she did the Ladies Who Launch Incubator, and her program changed my life, and my butt. She came to the group with a successful fitness program in place and wanted to move forward with a new detox cleanse program that she was starting to build.

I signed on for a cleanse and I experienced amazing results that were beyond any weight loss goals I started out with. My attitude toward holistic health and fitness are now an important part of my everyday life. Teresa and I are now working together to scale her programs and bring fitness and nutrition community to cities all over the Bay Area. Her first book is due out by the end of this year.

Gail Foland - Krav Maga
Gail and her husband own fitness center Krav Maga in San Francisco and for the past five years have seen steady growth. She and I met to discuss how she could bring in even more business and out of our sessions, we've decided that you can expect to see the softer side of Krav in the near future.

Gail is the most supportive woman entrepreneur I've ever known. She not only helps others, but she also works hard to make her business thrive and please her customers. Krav Maga is in a 6,000 sq. ft. space in a great location and is practically unused during the middle of the day. After considering some options including print and cable advertising, the answer became obvious - we needed to bring in people during those key free times. The people we believe to have a need for a place to go and build a community is moms and their children. We are conducting focus groups and interviewing moms to uncover all that they want in a fitness center and childcare and will release the softer side of Krav within the next year.

Sonya Derian - OM Freely
Sonya is the epitome of an entrepreneurial spirit in a corporate body. She came to the Ladies Who Launch Incubator in November 2006 with a prototype of a yoga tote and an obvious passion for the lifestyle of a yogini, but she needed confidence and money.

She gained the confidence she needed to raise capital and source her bag to manufacturers in China and locally. Together we had so much fun selecting fabric, making decisions about vendors, shooting pictures for the website and collaborating on the best direction for her company.

Terri Almeida - Worldly Goods
After the Ladies Who Launch Incubator, Terri had the confidence to start her own business selling marketing promotional items such as hats and t-shirts for small orders. She learned quickly that the small orders were time consuming and did not pay the bills, and needed a new strategy.

She needed a solution that combined her passion for sourcing fun products that people would not throw away and her need to pay for her family home, put her son through college and enable her to splurge on the occasional nice pair of shoes. After working together, Terri honed her vision and embarked on a life-changing journey to China where she made the connections she needs to source products for her entrepreneurial friends at home. She can connect aspiring designers with manufacturers of handbags, fabrics, paper products and of course shoes.
