Many sole proprietors fail because they try to survive in isolation, too proud or close-minded to admit that an outside perspective could help improve their confidence, focus or profitability. I knew better. I knew I needed Mandy Schumaker. Mandy has been a tremendous partner, a confidant and a mentor. She’s expert at recognizing the roots of the impediments I encounter and holds me accountable as we navigate past them. Mandy knows when a small business owner needs a boost or when they need some tough love, not because she’s read it in a book, but because she’s personally experienced it all before. Since I started working with Mandy, I’ve never been happier professionally and I’ve more than doubled my client base. She’s been an irreplaceable resource to my company and I could not recommend her more.
