Here’s how I can help.

Whether you want a well-designed strategy for growth, fresh content and ideas for a dynamic new website, design and copywriting services for your online Giveaways — or a nitty gritty lesson in email marketing… I can help.

If you need to refresh your Vision, add fuel to your determination, or revise undermining personal beliefs that are getting in the way of your progress, I can assist.

If you are in charge of marketing or growth for a community college, you may want to embark on an internal “get to know your student body” research process through which we define your Avatars and craft website copy that speaks to their interests. I can help with that.

Specializing in micro businesses and nonprofit organizations in the arts and wellness fields; also providing Avatar development for community college programs.

Why are you here today?

Do you wish someone else could understand the challenges inherent in building your business or nonprofit, someone who can provide expertise-backed guidance, encouragement and ‘soft accountability’ to help you stay on track and on schedule?

Are you in the midst of a transition, reaching for a clearer Vision, strategy and plan for the next steps in your business or nonprofit?

Do you want to improve the power of the story you’re telling when you speak and write about yourself, in your website and other locations? Do you want to better communicate the true value of your work to others?

Are you searching for ways to simplify your marketing so the whole process is less stressful and time-consuming but still leads to real financial gains?

Are you feeling isolated, struggling to harness the necessary perseverance to get through the obstacles, to keep believing in yourself and your ideas as you build your business, audience, or movement?

Do you recognize that you need help if you’re going to be seen and be heard online, to establish your expertise and attract more clients and followers?

OR, Do you want to increase your understanding of the typical students in every program offered by your community college so you can improve your messaging to them?

You can expand your income by creating a steady flow of clients and opportunities without dedicating every waking hour to your marketing activities.

The Three Visionary Amigas


You can guide your business or enterprise toward a Vision you hold dearly.

You’ll be crystal clear about the story to tell when it’s time to write or
talk about your work, or someone asks “What do you do?”

You can have a breakthrough in self-confidence, stop
procrastinating, stay focused, prioritize, make good decisions, and persevere.

You can unleash your voice, become more visible,
and expand your impact in the world.

Allow me to brag on myself a little bit…

You could say I’m the equivalent of a General Practitioner in strategizing and marketing for micro-businesses. I’ve founded more than 20 small businesses, organizations and major projects. I’ve worked 1-on-1 with over 100 small business owners, solo practitioners, first-time entrepreneurs, and non-profit managers, helping them to tell their stories and build more viable businesses.

I recently guided the Avatar research process for an award-winning Michigan community college, resulting in a complete rewrite of their program brochures and the program pages on their website — and ultimately an increase in enrollment.

* Microbusinesses are defined by the U.S. Department of Labor as those with 5 or fewer employees

Why should you trust me?

I’ve been coached and educated in local and internet marketing by many of the best business coaches in North America.

As Founder of Life Force Marketing, I’m a micro-business advocate and marketing coach with nearly three decades of experience founding and running solo and small enterprises. I understand both the 10,000-foot view and the close-up details of marketing *micro-businesses. I know how necessary it is to believe in your vision and yourself and to rekindle that on a regular basis. I can help you move forward and navigate the plans and decisions you need to make so that your next steps are on purpose, more fun, and waayy more rewarding.
