FREE UP YOUR TIME, ENERGY, AND BRAIN SPACE WITH OPERATIONS SUPPORT FOR THE LONG HAUL.
You started your business so you’d have more freedom, but now you can’t even get your top priority tasks done each week because you spend so much of your days answering emails and doing the grunt work of business (expense tracking, communicating with your team, promoting your work on social media, actually delivering your service…the list goes on and on).
Now that you’re bogged down in logistics, it’s really hard to break the cycle. You put off important work for the urgent pings that roll into your inbox. You do the urgent tasks, but you don’t do them well because you have a million pulls on your time. You know you should have systems in place for so much of it, but it’s really tricky to build a plane while you’re trying to fly it – so you just keep moving in circles.
It’s tough and stressful and not what you signed up for. I get it, and I’d love to help you break the cycle so you can make big moves forward.
I bring years of experience to bear in my clients’ businesses as the resident right hand gal/operations manager/chief officer of getting stuff done. We’ll work arm-in-arm to establish systems and efficient workflows that work for your unique business. While we do that big picture work, I’ll also take all those seemingly small tasks that have big compounding effects off of your task list (and your mind).
Imagine having someone on your team who’s a jack of all trades, a learning machine who brings an equal blend of creativity and practical thinking to the table — that’s me! Since you have a trusted partner in your corner to take your ideas and run with them, you can expand your business without working yourself to the point of exhaustion.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
You’re a solopreneur who’s trying to do it all – and you’re drowning. Because you started this business, you technically can do it all. But doing it all is keeping you from doing what you’re actually good at, or taking your business to the next level.
You’re a business owner with a team of contractors that you work with regularly, but you need help with project management, communication, and extra bandwidth needed to keep moving towards your goals.
You’re an employee who is preparing to launch your own business, and you already know you’ll need help to keep you from jumping straight from your 9 to 5 and into 24/7 work. You also know you’ll need guidance on best practices for operations while you get your business set up.
“Partnering with Megan was one of the wisest decisions I’ve made for my business. As a busy entrepreneur with four kids Megan’s ability to turn my thoughts into content, think independently and proactively suggest biz dev strategies is a life saver. If you’re thinking about partnering with her, act fast!”
Terry Rice, Entrepreneur Magazine Expert-in-Residence, business consultant

ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Megan. As a business owner myself, I know there can be a thousand small tasks that have to be done before getting down to the reason you started your business, whether that’s working on a new product, teaching a class, or making art. It has given me a great appreciation for doing the small things well, and clearing the runway for a business’s main purpose with efficient systems and creative, proactive thinking. A few of my super powers:
- Keeping both the big picture and nitty gritty details in focus
- Finding small but impactful changes for a more efficient and comfortable workflow
- Good horse sense. This means I have instincts that have been honed over a decade, good for making decisions on your behalf and keeping your brain clear for other things!

FAQs
Q: How does this work?
A: Good question! And it’s a little different with each client, because every business and person is unique. But we’ll start with a kickoff meeting where I’ll pepper you with questions. I’ll get an idea of your current situation/team, and get a few tasks to start with – these will allow me to get a concrete start and get some boots on the ground experience with how you work.
For the first six months, we’ll meet weekly for 30 minutes over Zoom. This will allow for rapid fire Q&A, any coworking that needs to happen, trust building – and for me to see how you make decisions (the end goal here is that I’ll be able to make some decisions on your behalf, and parse which things to bring to you/which to manage for you).
So much of the magic happens just in working together to accomplish goals over the months; I will say that voice memos are a life saver in communication, particularly towards the beginning (it’s fast, and conveys tone!).
Q: I don’t have a lot of time to delegate. Will this work for me?
A: Yes. Thanks to a background in freelance journalism, I’m in my element when I’m given parameters and a deadline, with the understanding that I’ll take a project and run with it. In the early days of working together, I’ll work with you to make sure I understand the big picture and how you like to do things, but the goal is to create a partnership where you can send a quick message, and I take it from there.
Q: How do I know where your time is going?
A: I use a software called TimeCamp to track my hours. Every second I spend working is logged there (not just in digits! I also include notes on how the time was spent). Every billing period, you’ll receive a timesheet that you’re able to review as needed.
Q: I don’t want to use up all your hours for admin work. Is there an in-between rate?
A: Kind of! I have contacts in the virtual assistant world who I can bring in for admin work. I’ll still oversee their work and payment, so this won’t be any extra work for you – but it’s a good option to diversify your team.
