Learning From Fiction

New ideas and approaches intrigue me – and inspire me.

My ability to see potential and innovate helps women build and refine their revenue engine. This is significant because one of the biggest value drivers in your business is consistent, predictable revenue.

I typically don't read business books. I find that, rather than building on other people's ideas, I like to develop my own perspectives.

In fact, I’m very protective of my ability to innovate, rather than replicate…

Today’s BlockbustHER BrainteasHER:

What story have you read or seen recently that directly influenced your work?

Patty’s Perspective . . .

I get a lot of inspiration and insights from fiction - books, TV, and podcasts. I love historical fiction and fantasy – because then it becomes about possibilities.

Wicked is a book (and now a musical play and movies) that has stayed with me for years. I took many ideas and lessons from this author’s creativity – long before it became chic to reimagine fairy tales.

More recently, The Curse of Pietro Houdini, reminded me that noticing opportune moments is our right and responsibility as humans.

These stories have stayed with me and there’s real power in that.

I encourage you to develop and use stories that help your prospective clients understand the value you bring. This also helps your clients understand better the services you provide, and a future business buyer grasp the intrinsic and extrinsic value of your company.

Now What?

Are you stuck in your Second Act?

Have you built a profitable and valuable business but instead of feeling like there's something missing, you’re feeling like there's something more?

If you’ve built an accounting firm, a law firm, a financial services firm, a psychology practice, or a specialty consulting firm that is generating $1 million to $10 million in annual revenue, you ↓are in a prime market.

Larger firms and companies are growing by buying other firms. This has long been the case, but we’re seeing a higher rate than ever.

In a tragic twist, I see too many women who actually lose their company instead of exiting on their own terms. The exit process is filled with pitfalls and complex issues – especially for women.

I’ve built my business as an advocate, and I specialize in helping women founders transition to their Third Act – when you’re ready to do the work you’ve always longed to do.

As your advocate, by definition, I’m looking out for your best interests. I am not taking a brokerage fee, commission, or equity. I am not motivated by how quickly the exit moves or the final dollar amounts. I want what you want – and will help you get it.

Are you ready to exit your business on your terms?

That requires a new way of thinking, new skills, a simple and elegant design, and an advocate by your side. Contact me to learn more.
