Creating your business takes courage. Growing it takes strategy.
I have over 20 years of experience helping mid-size businesses, personal brands, and entrepreneurs cut through the overwhelm of productivity, marketing, and mindset to unlock profitability while having a lot of fun in the process
I’m Sue Izzo…
Prior to starting my business consulting firm, I was pretty much the female version of Jerry McGuire.
For 20+ years, I owned a sports management agency that helped Olympic athletes parlay their talents and accomplishments into thriving personal brands—leading to lucrative product endorsement deals, entertainment opportunities, and successful business ventures to secure longterm brand viability and healthy bank accounts.
Today, I help entrepreneurs, business owners, and teams (under 100 employees) navigate the confusing phases of business growth through one-on-one consulting, coaching, and my popular in-person (and virtual) workshops, and speaking gigs.
Most of my clients started their businesses anywhere from 5 to 20 years ago, and find themselves either needing to reinvent their brand and/or actually build one, improve their internal processes, get their teams reengaged and producing like rockstars, or simply need a business advisor to bounce ideas off of and confide in because the stakes are too high to make any missteps.
When failure is not an option, your sanity is on the line, and you want to tap into the wisdom and knowledge of someone who has successfully built businesses while navigating all the challenges that come with it, like Rocky Balboa taking down Apollo Creed…
What it took to get your business to this point probably won’t take you to the next level of success.
I wish that weren’t the case, but it is. Here’s why. You’re up against the limits of your skills, bandwidth, and experience. And you can only talk to yourself so much without getting the advice you need to grow.
Plus, you’re inside the picture which makes it impossible to be objective.
When you’re venturing into a pivotal growth phase with your business, you are absolutely money ahead if you have an experienced guide at the ready. Someone to help you learn the ropes of business growth and marketing while avoiding frustrating time-wasters and expensive pitfalls. My mission is simple—I want you to work smarter so you can actually work less AND make more money!
