WHAT. A. YEAR. 🤯🎉

Ready for a little braggy moment? 😉

In 2023, I (and the ELF team, of course):
🎉 Became a ClickUp Verified Ambassador and Verified Consult
🎉 Was Featured By ClickUp in their FB group as a top contributor
🎉 Took a maternity leave
🎉 Launched a mentorship to help beginning business owners implement systems that will help prevent burnout
🎉 Worked with 2 big agencies for most of the year to help build their project management tools and implement better automations
🎉 Served over a dozen of clients (most being clients who worked with us long term)
🎉 Delegated more
🎉Navigated personal and professional change

While I may not be WORKING right now, I'm still doing what it takes to get ready to serve my client's 2024 dreams! Ready for it to be YOUR TURN?!?! Comment ✨ME✨ and I'll hit you up January 2nd!

Behind the Scenes of 2023 at ELF Operations: Navigating Change ✨

This year has been a whirlwind of transformation and adaptation for ELF Operations, and 'Navigating Change' has become more than just a trendy phrase—it's our reality.

At the start of 2023, my world took a monumental shift as we discovered the upcoming arrival of Addy. Suddenly, my clientele shifted, my kids grew, and my business evolved alongside my changing environment. Parenting took on a new dimension as Charlotte embarked on kindergarten, Lila found her strong-willed personality, and our family expanded to embrace five unique personalities under one roof.

This journey hasn't been without its challenges. As a business owner, I've prioritized being a present mom while strategically preparing my business to thrive independently. Multiple hires, a baby, and the intricacies of managing both my team and my husband's construction business added new layers of complexity.

Yet, it's all about navigating change and creating systems to support new realities. Continuously improving and adapting is so crucial.

In the realm of business, I introduced new offers, weathered the storm of a less-than-ideal launch, and crafted a fresh Systems Consulting offer (Systems to Thrive).

The online space and market also shifted with friends closing businesses and online connections fading away due to the changing economic landscape. Despite the turbulence, ELF Operations stands strong, a testament to resilience amidst personal and professional change.

The biggest takeaway? We're still here—thriving, adapting, and embracing every twist in the journey. Here's to navigating change and the unwavering spirit of ELF Operations! 🚀

These systems saved my clients' businesses in 2023 (and will continue to take them to new heights in 2024 👏)

In my journey working with over 20 businesses, from startup pioneers to thriving million-dollar enterprises, one common thread unites them all: success hinges on the powerful trio of Systems, Strategy, and Support.

Systems are not just about software; they encompass processes, tools, and the invaluable human touch—whether it's you or your team. These intricacies define the backbone of a well-oiled business machine.

Why are systems so crucial? They are the key to reclaiming your time and preserving mental energy, preventing burnout and enabling you to truly enjoy the life you've built.

Throughout this year, I've crafted bespoke systems for each of my clients, recognizing that no two businesses are alike. From tailored processes to seamlessly integrated software solutions, the nuances matter.

Every successful business requires:
👀Visibility System: A repeatable process to connect with the right audience and convert them into loyal clients.

💵Sales System: Strategic processes and tools to turn leads into paying clients seamlessly.

📈Client Management/Delivery: An efficient system to handle ongoing projects, ensuring you never miss a beat and fostering long-term client relationships.

Our expert team has leveraged a range of cutting-edge software to elevate our clients' systems, including but not limited to:
👩‍💻GroupTrack
👩‍💻Manychat
👩‍💻ActiveCampaign
👩‍💻ConvertKit
👩‍💻GoHighLevel
👩‍💻Dubsado
👩‍💻Honeybook
👩‍💻Monday.com
👩‍💻ClickUp
👩‍💻Asana
👩‍💻Thrivecart
👩‍💻Mightynetwork
👩‍💻Zapier

Curious about what will work best for you? Book an Ops Improvement Session, and let's identify the perfect software solutions to elevate your unique systems.

Your business transformation awaits! 🚀

"I wouldn't have been able to grow without your systems and support to keep us on track with our goals"

What makes the perfect recipe for a system?

Today, I am sharing the 3 key ingredients, or parts, that you need to make a system in your business.

Just like when you're baking, there's a recipe to follow (your processes), bakers to get the job done (your team and contractors), and your oven (equipment) to put it all together.

Swipe through to read more about each ingredient, and why they make up the perfect system.

Once you swipe through, comment below what systems you want to get ready for the new year.

What does your business and Santa have in common?

Santa could never deliver all his toys in time without a strategy, killer operations, and, of course, his Elves!

⭐ Clear strategy in place to guide you and your team
⭐ Simple systems that work for you and help your team run smooth
⭐ Support

I am the ELF for you! 🎅

I may not have worked with Santa, but I have worked in a range of businesses from helping solopreneurs set the foundation of their businesses with the right tools all the way to planning resources and budgets for multi-million dollar projects at an engineering manufacturing plant right out of college.

Since I have worked with all types of businesses + have a background in Operations Management + have a Yellow Belt in Lean Six Sigma + expertise in online tools = I have a unique background to help you build out your operations strategy specifically for your business!

🌟 Redefine Success on Your Terms! ✨

Ever wonder what success truly looks like for you? It's not a one-size-fits-all concept! Define YOUR vision and own it!

👊 Stop the comparison game. If success means making $5,000 a month, working less than 20 hours a week to be a present stay-at-home mom, then embrace it! But here's the key – keep it simple, sweetie! 🍭

Remember: Success doesn't require burnout. 💼

🌈 The era of hustle culture is over. You don't have to work yourself to exhaustion to be a successful business owner.

🌟 You can achieve success without the overwhelm, stress, or burnout!
