My client Sherry Quam Taylor went from being overloaded with 37 clients to making dramatically more than she’s ever made before (and experiencing a ton of joy) doing longer engagements with fewer, ideal clients and getting stunning results.

She’s a consultant who shows nonprofit CEOs how to raise millions more in gen ops dollars so they can fund their strategic plan and increase budgets by 2 to 10x. With Sherry, their teams break free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation, attracting investment-level donors who want to fund their work. 

She practically doubled her business and had her most financially successful year ever from working together - and in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, she shares how she did it.

Feeling overwhelmed?

One of the things that consultants often come to me struggling with is being overwhelmed in their business. They’re doing client work, working on their own businesses and usually managing a household, on top of navigating the economy and the pandemic and all kinds of things. 

Overwhelm happens to all business owners, but it doesn't have to knock you off your game. 

There are things that you can do about it if you understand why you get overwhelmed, what you can do when you're overwhelmed, and how you can recognize this as a pattern in your business. Explore why we get overwhelmed and what to do about it in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting! 

Key areas discussed:

Being self-employed can feel like the work never ends. Learn how to get your work (and overwhelm) under control for a sustainable, profitable, joyful business in this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/Wg9NQ1SXxCI or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast.

My client Erin Straza was once “just” a copywriter. When she first started working with me, she shared her vision of what more she could do for her clients. Not quite a year later, Erin is bringing transformational engagements to nonprofits and helping them no longer just with copywriting, but with strategic marketing communications. 

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, hear how Erin has changed her business by focusing on transformation and working with perfect clients - large enough to really value her services. Erin never had trouble attracting clients, but she was yearning to do deeper work with fewer clients. Now, she’s repositioned herself as a communications strategist and she’s making a bigger impact for her clients. Erin is solidly working in her Joy & Genius Zone™ and, to my delight, she’s grown her revenues dramatically - tripling in two years!
