Are You Tired of Putting Out Fires, Applying Band-Aids, and Patching Up Cracks? Do You Wish You Could Spend More Time Working With More Clients?

What if Everything You've Been Taught About Planning is WRONG?


Elevating Your Business helps business owners (and executives) earn more and work less -- faster. We work with women who run professional service businesses (and their teams) from 100K to $10M in sales per year.


"We agree. A 50 page plan that spends most of it's life on a shelf won't help you grow your business. We'll show an innovative system on a page that you'll want to use and keep updated."

If you're like most successful business leaders, you're facing new challenges. Strategic planning may seem like a waste of time, maybe even impossible in today's economy. Running a small business or department with limited resources, you know you must maximize your ROI, but your time is precious and you have too many things to do!

Can you answer YES to these 5 questions?

  • Do you have a planning process you're following and monitoring?
  • Can you make tough business decisions quickly and with clarity?
  • Are you confident that your time is being best spent?
  • Is your business performing like a well-oiled machine?
  • Do you have a semi-retirement or exit strategy?

If you answered NO to any of the questions above, you need to get focused, set priorities, and regain control--and all it takes is a very flexible plan on a page! More than that, it's a marketing, operations, and financial plan for your business.

Create Your Company Plan on a Page in Just 90 Minutes!
It's Simple, Easy, and It Works!

Your ultimate challenge, as a business owner or executive, is to develop a roadmap that closes the gap between where you are today (# of customers/sales) and your vision of where you want to be in the future (# of customers/sales).

"The One Page Business Plan® is an out-and-out winner. Period. It makes great sense to me as a so-called business thinker. But the acid test was applying it to a start-up I co-founded. We spent several days drafting our one pager - and have been editing it ever since. It is a powerful, living document; the very nature of which has led us to important new insights. The One Page Business Plan = the proverbial better mouse trap!"
-Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence

Success Stories From Our Clients After Completing Their
Business And Marketing Plan

"Aside from forcing us to focus on growing our business, your program provides a logical, compelling, balanced template and your hands-on support was insightful and effective. Despite this tough economic terrain, client satisfaction, client retention, our rates and profits are higher than ever. Our business awareness is clearer. To be blunt, your help in teaching us when to "throw the fish back" and walk away from inappropriate candidate clients has saved us far more than what your strategic business program cost. We are looking forward to continuing to work with you to internalize what you teach."
Mike Klasco, Audio Engineer and Nora Wong, COO, Menlo Scientific, Richmond, CA http://www.MenloScientific.com
"Attending your one-day planning program, along with the many insights and business therapy you provided, helped me see the forest through the trees. Thank you for the really great thought-provoking day."

Her vast storehouse of business and marketing knowledge makes her a valuable partner in my business. She's helped me package my services, allowing me to increase my fees by 200% and the monthly sales of the company are more than 300% from where we were just 8 months ago. If you're considering hiring an advisor to help grow your business more rapidly, look no further. Maria is a skilled, caring, but firm coach, and most importantly, she will help you get the results you're looking for in your business and personal life."
