Where did this idea come from?
We have seen and continue to see so many businesses that just need a little direction.
Founders believe that anything is possible for them, but they do get stalled out. Stuck, don’t know what to do next, lose sight of their goal, believe things are too hard, and stop believing in themselves. And their business plateau. It boils down to owners / founders / entrepreneurs not having access to the right brains to keep them growing forward.
The idea for this Fractional Advisory Board comes down to a person having an idea and knowing the right brains (plus a sprinkle of trust, passion, and motivation) to help make it a reality. (And a little evil genius moment.)
While attending an entrepreneurship event, Katie realized there was a massive need for founders who are on the cusp of greater success with their businesses, they just needed a little direction on where to point the passion. That direction comes in the form of expertise - expensive expertise usually. Enter the idea of fractional support - but not just one area of expertise, this is a board.
(Here’s the evil genius part.)
Then she called both David and Jessie separately, told each of them that the other was in if they were, and everyone agreed.
Bringing Kelsey in was a no-brainer -she keeps us and our clients well managed.
This board was an easy yes. And as you have seen with our mission, vision and values - this business is built on trust and mutual respect.
Plus we like working together. So that makes even more awesome.
