When I began Mrs. Smith Assist...

I had someone in mind that was a Mary Poppins of sorts. She had a nifty bag of tricks, a lovely attitude, and she could accomplish anything you needed with the flip of her wand!

Isn’t that what everyone needs in life? A heroic friend that can troubleshoot hard problems, knock off pesky to-dos, and all the while keep a wonderful attitude about dreams for the future?

In the making of “Mrs. Smith Assist”, I had one goal in mind: I want to provide small business owners a one-stop shop for everything they need. Someone trusted, versatile in skill and eternally optimistic!

I like the sound of that! I’m sure you do too. Anyone who has a lot to do is in need of superior support.

You need someone who understands the “in-between”.

Building a business (at any phase) is like a thrilling and scary rollercoaster ride.

It looks like financial ups and downs, personal investment, loss, joy, freedom, burnout, learning curves, and so much more. Building a business refines so much within us and it requires so much from us.

It’s a very personal journey where the stakes can feel high.

But you don’t have to be the only one invested in your business.

Sometimes it might feel like you are the only one who can be invested in your business, but we’re on a mission to transform those feelings and show you that we’re invested too.

There are seasons where you do a LOT of heavy lifting. Trust me, I know. You will always be your business’ number one advocate. That’s never going to change. It’s your job to be the biggest advocate and your business’ biggest fan!! You call the hard shots, spend most of the late nights, and probably, drink the most coffee.

You being the highest investor will never change….

But, what will also never change is your growth – if you don’t recruit your investors.

An investor (by definition) makes room for increase that would not be impossible on your own.

Think about what that looks like for your next season of growth…

Clearing out room for an increase on your mental and emotional energy
Committing to the foundational stability and sustainability of your business
Focusing on the things that only you can do to really move that needle and reach higher revenue and exposure
Finding the heart and knockout impact of a team - who actually enjoys walking through the highs and the lows with you

Who do you trust right now in the process? What kind of team do you need in the in-between? How would it feel to have consistent support in the uncertain times?
