Founder, Life Force Force Marketing
I’m excited to serve you, as you serve the world! Taylor Rae
“I specialize in working with small service businesses, non-profits, community colleges and holistic practices. In our work together, many — both savvy marketers and those who don’t particularly like selling — have plowed through doubt, overwhelm and confusion to become smart advocates for their growing practices and enterprises.”
Meriah Kruse, B.A. Arts Administration
“I see marketing as a living three-dimensional puzzle. The task is choosing the right pieces — those that best line up with your audience, offerings, interests, talents, and ethics.”
I encourage you to bring a clear Vision into your marketing. This enables you to meet your most important business goals with well-conceived marketing you can be proud of. Importantly, I show you how to do this without constantly feeling “I’m not doing enough to promote my business.”
Many of my clients are engaged in what I call “a livelihood of the heart.” I encourage them to listen to what their clients really need and want, embrace their own magnificence, and tell the most compelling stories about the true value of their work.
Through my own enterprises and projects, I’ve created thousands of opportunities for people to thrive, move, expand, learn, create, explore, evolve, communicate, achieve, and be healthy.
- Founded more than 20 small businesses, organizations and major projects.
- 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.
- Recently collaborated with a Michigan community college to develop 23 different Student Personas, and write website and brochure program copy for all 23 programs! Learn more about that project here.
And I’ve worn many hats…
… writer, adventure travel operator, grant writer, artistic director, producer, development team leader, public relations director, brand manager, event planner, network marketing leader, greeting card designer, choreographer, massage therapist, movement educator, executive director, and CEO.
I’m fortunate to have had an uncommonly rich work Life.
HERE ARE A FEW WELL-KEPT SECRETS FROM “past lives”…
You may have already known me as a writer, dancer, or massage therapist, but you probably didn’t know that while traveling in Kiev, I once advised the leaders of a Ukrainian industrial concern on the art of forming joint ventures with American manufacturers… that I once taught African dance to children in wheelchairs and modern dance to football players in rural Kentucky schools — or that I was commissioned to choreograph a dance-theater piece for Down Syndrome students to perform at the Kennedy Center.
(thanks to Susan Harrow for this approach to personal storytelling)
Now my focus is on empowering my clients to have lucrative, gratifying, self-sustaining businesses by using both time-honored staples and cutting-edge approaches to local and online marketing.
When we work together, I’m deeply committed to your greatest possible success. Together we:
- set strategic priorities
- take fierce, consistent, smart action toward your most dearly held business goals
- celebrate every victory.
In addition to practical business principles, I often draw on an array of personal development disciplines: meditation, mindbody awareness, belief and affirmation work, creative writing, and personal storytelling. I also have a background in performance, cross-disciplinary/multi-cultural event planning and producing, and workshop development. With this background and a history of adapting to changing work requirements and environments, I can offer a rare form of encouragement and guidance to my small business marketing clients.
