INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE BUSINESS STRATEGIST

A little international flavor. A whole lot of possibility.


WHAT I DO

I look at what’s happening around the world and think, “Why aren’t we doing that over here?” As an international creative business strategist and former investigator, I connect fresh ideas with solid research to help you start something—or give your existing business a reason to turn heads.


BEYOND THE STOREFRONT

Your products can get around without you signing another lease. I uncover unique vending opportunities that could put what you sell in unexpected places, reaching customers beyond your storefront.


HOW TO REACH ME

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.
