Clarity in your future path is often the key to unlocking the energy within you and your business whether you’re starting a new business or looking for a power boost for your existing venture. We often hear:

“I just don’t know how to market my business.”
“I’m so busy running my organization, I never have time to plan very far ahead.”
“I feel like my business should be growing more by now.”

Channeling your organization’s energy in a powerful, clear direction will help you:

• Decide what you will do and exactly what you WON’T do
• Formulate a simple, impactful plan to drive the direction of your company
• Leverage established metrics to measure your success

Look at how these Clear Directions entrepreneur clients took their businesses to the next level.

Maria Jovel is a talented, discerning project management professional with an expertise in successfully managing marketing projects. When she left her 15-year employment with Microsoft to begin her own project management firm, she wisely turned her employer into her first major client. Her next desire was to begin to attract business from other Fortune 500 corporations when she met Clear Directions’ principal, Denise Stillman.

Denise helped Maria refine her mission and vision statements, as well as her six-month strategies and tactics, which include growth in America as well as Latin America. She also guided Maria in the development of her initial web site copy to serve as her international calling card to explain her services and differentiate her value to her project management clients.

At the end of their first engagement, Maria said, “I now know where to start. I feel like I’ve got a great sense of where I need to go from here.”

Joyce Maxwell is an experienced entrepreneur who has owned an interior design and professional organizing business for 11 years. She was busy with clients and eager to focus more of her time on professional organizing versus interior design. When she met Clear Directions principal, Denise Stillman, she was seeking clarity on several areas of business to take her to the next professional level.

One of the key areas in which Joyce sought marketing strategy was to determine which target markets she would focus on and how she would approach those targets for the next six months. By working with the initial market intelligence Joyce provided, Denise developed recommendations for three market segments and ways to get her professional organizing business in front of them. "Working with Denise was a great experience, as I shared with her some of my fears she encouraged me to embrace my uniqueness and not allow fear to keep me from accomplishing my goals, she not only understood where I wanted to take my organizing business, she inspired me to have the courage to dream bigger dreams and set even higher goals," said Joyce. "She is the marketing strategist I'll choose for my future needs."

During his time with Clear Directions, Beke opened his mind to new markets that spring from his current business and began his pursuit of growth.

Beke said, "The feedback and outline based on our discussions provided direction to which I focused my ideas and energy. It wasn't only my ideas but an integration of our ideas and experience to produce a greater outcome. Additionally, Clear Directions provided models to resource and call on to refine my ideas, focus and processes to propel my company and myself forward. Clear Directions honored their word, performed as promised and followed up to check on my progress."
