INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE BUSINESS STRATEGIST

A little international flavor. A whole lot of possibility.

“BEYOND THE STOREFRONT”

WHAT I DO

I’m an international enthusiast with a habit of looking at something and thinking, “Now, why aren’t we doing that over here?” I explore business ideas, products, packaging, and unexpected possibilities from around the world, then figure out how they could bring something fresh to your business—or help you start one.

Maybe you already sell something wonderful, but people keep walking past it. Maybe your ideas are everywhere and you need someone to help connect them. Or maybe you’re sitting at a job you hate, wondering whether you’ll quit before they fire you, and thinking, “I need a fallback plan that doesn’t require my entire savings.”

That’s where I come in. I bring the imagination, investigate the possibilities, and help you figure out what could actually work for your customers, your budget, and your next move.

YOUR BUSINESS COULD USE A LITTLE “SPRINKLE SPRINKLE —WHAT IS THAT?”

You serve coffee?!?!

So does everybody else on the block. But have you ever handed a customer a latte with their own face printed on the foam? There are coffee art printers that can do that. Suddenly, that cup has become something they want to photograph, show their friends, and remember your café for. I look for possibilities like that—and examine whether the equipment, cost, and extra work make sense for your business.


And you, with the cookie company

your cookies are excellent, but is your packaging giving people any reason to notice them? Imagine a collection inspired by brown sugar, warm kitchens, and handwritten recipes, packaged so beautifully that somebody says, “I don’t even want to open this.” Then they smell the cookies and recover their senses. I develop concepts that give people another reason to choose what you make.


AND YOU BURGER BUSTERS?

everybody is selling burgers. A UFO-shaped burger could give them something to talk about. Depending on the equipment, that same pressed-pocket idea could inspire a dessert, too. Now we have something to explore: a distinctive menu, an equipment budget, pricing, and whether your customers would come back for another one.

That’s what a creative business strategy looks like with me. A specific idea, a reason it could matter, and a closer look at what it would take to make it happen

CUSTOM DISCOVERY REPORTS AND INDUSTRY NICHE BREAKDOWNS

Not only is my creativity on another level, but my research is top flight. As a former investigator, I know how to dig into industries and uncover niche opportunities others overlook. I bring those strengths together in custom discovery reports, industry niche breakdowns and monthly reports.

AND MY FAV! My Grab, Go & Grow products

The 412 Biz Drop gives you four product or service ideas within one industry, one audience to focus on, and two tools to help you get started. You can offer a service or create a digital product, depending on the opportunity.

My business dossiers go deeper, with far more detail than a blueprint. And for my budget-conscious friends, I offer a smaller version of the 412 Biz Drop for just $7.

There’s still time to make something happen before the end of the year. If you need a little motivation, visit my library and grab one of my books. You’ve got this. Now, let’s connect.
