Shanice Miller is a business productivity consultant, specializing in project management, who helps clients ranging from small startups to multi-million dollar businesses save hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Her passion for identifying and solving inefficiencies began when she sold her first business, an educational consultancy that had been recognized in Forbes and BET, at a less than premium price point because she didn’t have her systems and processes streamlined and documented. Over the last 10 years, Shanice has used her ability to identify operational inefficiencies and create solutions to not only help save her clients’ businesses (and hairlines), but to also fall in love with them again.

 Here’s what we covered on the episode:

How Shanice Started Her First Business, but Decided to Sell it After Burning Out

• How I met Shanice through a connection from The Podwise Group 
• How Shanice helps her clients automate their processes, which gives them more time and a higher price point for their sales 
• How Shanice started off as an educational consultant, but quickly became overworked and overwhelmed because she was doing everything 
• Instead of closing her business, she decided to list it on an online marketplace, and got an offer  
• Shanice’s realization of the importance of documenting processes during the selling of her first business (and how she could have earned a larger payout)
• After selling her business, Shanice did some soul searching and went back to corporate to work in project management
• The advice her mom gave her about your first house being turn-key; and how she could apply that advice to her next business
