Work With Me

I work with entrepreneurial
business owners in two ways:

1) I help you make and break agreements to keep you conflict free or to resolve conflict that has arisen.

Very few lawyers have the combination of business savvy, conflict resolution, and win/win open-hearted negotiation skills to help you create an agreement that will not only support the future of your relationship, but the growth of your business and create a bigger pie for everyone involved.

If that’s what you are looking for, I’m your gal.  Drop an email with the specifics of your yet to be documented business relationship to michelle@familywealthmatters.com and we’ll get back to you with my availability.

If you are in the midst of a conflict that needs to be resolved, I can help with that too, but it costs a whole lot more.  So, call me at the beginning of the relationships when I can really help.

2) I support world-changing women to leverage their greatest gifts into businesses they can run from home.

If you are looking for a business mentor, find someone who has done what you want to do and not someone who just teaches people to do it.

Truth comes from direct experience. The best way to learn is to have your own. The second best way is to benefit from someone else’s. What you never want to do is get it twice removed by hiring a coach who hasn’t actually lived the thing they coach themselves.

Here are some of the things I’ve directly experienced that I can help you with:

• Left my prestigious big 6-figure paycheck job to open my own business.
• Built a business from scratch to over a million dollars of revenue in just three years by creating a brand new membership-based (recurring revenue) business model that totally eliminated the hourly billing model (in a law firm);
• Sold my business and watched the person who bought it run it into the ground within 6 months (sometimes experiencing failure can be the best way to learn, but it sure is painful; I’ll share my experience with you so you don’t have to have it yourself);
• Began a coaching/training business and built it into a million dollar a year plus business with a completely virtual team within 18 months of launch;
• Created a number of profitable information products, courses, and coaching programs to share my message with the world in a variety of ways (I know what works, what doesn’t, where you are in danger of wasting your money, and how to save thousands of dollars not making the mistakes I made);
• Wrote a book and successfully marketed it to #8 on the overall Barnes&Noble.com bestseller list and #75 overall on Amazon.com and #1 in all of its’ categories on Amazon.com (even though it was a niche book appealing only to parents with minor children at home);
• Appeared on all the big television shows – Today Show, Good Morning America, O’Reilly Factor, etc. and got a regular gig on Better TV as their family, financial and legal expert; and most importantly to me …
• Profoundly healed my relationship with my ex-husband and we now happily co-parent our children together.
• Learned how to let go and get unstuck again and again and again so I could create life on my terms.

If you want to do any of that with my help, inquire about a Wake Up Call by sending an email to Michelle@FamilyWealthMatters.com.

When we are coaching together long-term, I am invested in you and your business.

I’m a starter. I LOVE starting businesses. The thrill, the excitement, the newness.

Alas, my family and support team have told me they will all run away screaming if I start another business. And I’ve got to do SOMETHING with all this creative energy.

I give it all to my coaching clients.

Here’s some of what people have said after experiencing a Wake Up Call with me:

Transformation takes time. Awareness can happen in an instant. But, the actual integration of that awareness, going to take a little while. So, my coaching relationships are long-term.

But, before I invest my creative energy in your business I have to know if I can help you and so do you.

So, here’s what we can do to find out:

It’s called a Wake Up Call.

It’s one-on-one. Me and you. Up to an hour on the phone working on your business and your life. Back in the day when I was trying to figure out how to do all this, I prayed for something like this, but could never find it.

Before we talk, you’ll complete a Clarity Questionnaire (just the time you spend on this alone will be extremely enlightening for you) and I’ll review websites or materials you send over to show me what you’re up to.

When we get on the phone, I’m going to ask a lot of questions to get a clear picture of where you are now, what’s holding you back, and where you want to go.

Then, I’m going to wake you up to your next steps, a few things you may not be seeing, and you’ll come away with a crystal clear vision of exactly what you need to do next.

Each month, I make my time available for two Wake Up calls. Email Michelle@FamilyWealthMatters.com to get yours scheduled so you can move forward in your business and your life with clarity.

Wondering if you are ready for a Wake Up Call with me?

Here are the three stages of business and life I help with really well:

1.  Just Starting Out

You might not even have a clear vision of how you can best serve in the world; you just know you really want to.  You might still be at a job and ready to make the leap, but aren’t sure how.

Or, you might have made the leap already, but now don’t know how to bring in any money.

We’ll create a clear vision for you and then a strategic plan to take action on that vision. I did this with a coach in November of 2004 after launching my law firm without a clue about what I was doing and within one year I had reached all my three year objectives, had a thriving mid-6 figure business with a team supporting me and I was poised for growth.

2. Been at It a While

Perhaps you’ve been at it a while and maybe  even broken the 6-figure barrier, but you are stuck and know you either need to forge ahead in a big way OR consider plan B.

No Plan B’s until you have a Wake Up Call, ok?

During your Wake Up Call, we’ll take your amazing ingredients and rearrange them into a lucrative business with one or more streams of built-in recurring revenue.

3.  Ready to Go Passive:

If you’ve made it to the high 6 or broken through to 7-figures in your business, you probably are drowning in too much work and not enough freedom.

Freedom IS why you went into business for yourself, right?

Well, let’s get you there!  You can make a huge impact without working yourself to the bone and your Wake Up call will focus on getting you the freedom you need to be more creative and help more people while keeping control of the right things and letting go of the rest.

Contact Michelle to get on my calendar and let’s Wake You Up to a whole new reality for your life and your business.  I can’t wait!
