This is how we'll do it
Hey There!
Can we get real for a minute?
That vision you've been carrying… the one that keeps tugging at your heart? Let's talk about it.
Here's what I know - you've built something significant in your corporate career. You're great at what you do.
And now… now you're ready for something more.
Something that's uniquely, beautifully yours. (And yes, it's both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. That's perfectly normal.)
After 25+ years of walking both paths - from corporate leadership to the freedom to do the meaningful work that matters to you - I get it.
The questions. The possibilities. The desire to do things differently.
I've learned that the magic happens when we stop trying to fit into someone else's business model and start creating our own.
My Truth? I'm obsessed with helping women bring their brilliance to life.
Maybe it's because I've been exactly where you are.
That moment when you realize your corporate success has prepared you for something bigger - something that's wholly yours.
Let's be honest - this isn't just about starting a business. It's about:
Bringing your full self forward
Creating impact on your terms
Building something that actually fits your life
Leading from a place of what you value
I'm the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.
Consider me your strategic thinking and operations partner who gets both worlds.
You bring your wants, needs and wishes. I bring 25+ years of experience in business, technology, leadership, project management, and operations to the table.
You refuse to be put into a box and it's time for your brilliance and purpose to soar.
It's about transforming it into an online business that truly serves you.

The Present Entrepreneur: Building a Business That Serves Your Life (Part 2)
Remember that fog we talked about in Part 1? Now that you've found your clarity, let's talk about something equally important – creating a business that doesn't just make money, but actually fits into your life. (And yes, it's totally possible!)
The Myth of the "Always On" Entrepreneur
Let me share something personal: I used to think being a "successful" entrepreneur meant being available 24/7, just like in my corporate days. My phone would ding at midnight with client messages, and I'd jump to respond.
Or... I'd look at the email and try to tell myself that I'd take care of it later, but it now was renting real estate in my head. Sound familiar?
Here's the truth bomb: That's not success – that's a recipe for burnout.
The real magic happens when you design your business around your life, not the other way around. And I'm not just talking about scheduling – I'm talking about creating a business that reflects who you are and how you want to live.
Your Business, Your Rules
One of my clients came to me exhausted from trying to run her consulting business like her old corporate job – rigid 9-to-5 hours, back-to-back Zoom calls, and that constant feeling of being "on." Together, we redesigned her business to match her natural rhythm:
• She's a morning person? Great – client calls happen before 2 PM
• Needs Wednesdays for deep work? Blocked off
• Wants to pick up kids from school? Non-negotiable family time
The result? Her revenue actually increased by 30% because she was working in her zone of genius at her peak times.
Creating Your Business Boundaries
Here's a simple exercise that changed everything for me (and can do the same for you):
List your non-negotiables (family time, exercise, hobbies)
Identify your peak energy hours
Design your business offerings around these parameters
Remember: You're not just a business owner – you're a whole person with a life, interests, and relationships outside of work.
The Permission Slip You've Been Waiting For
Consider this your official permission slip to:
• Create business hours that work for YOU
• Say no to clients and energy vampires who don't respect your boundaries
• Design services that energize rather than drain you
• Take that midday yoga class without guilt
Action Step: Take 30 minutes today to write down what your ideal work week looks like. Not what you think it should look like – what you actually want it to look like. This becomes your blueprint.
The truth is, running a business shouldn't feel like a prison you've built for yourself. It should feel like freedom, possibility, and joy – even on the challenging days.
Ready to design a business that truly serves your life? Join me for Part 3, where we'll dive into practical systems to make this vision your reality.

Meet Your Strategic Partner
Desireé Foster-Collins
Principal Consultant & Founder
After 25+ years of adventures across corporate leadership - from multimillion-dollar projects at a major investor-owned utility to developing leadership programs that actually work, I've got a knack for making leadership, tech and business growth relatable and fun.
My favorite clients call me the #CreativeTechWhisperer , and honestly? I love that. I'm a Business and Leadership Coach & Mentor for Women Entrepreneurs.
I believe entrepreneurs and small business owners are the heartbeat of communities and deserve access to the same systems & tools that big businesses have at their disposal.
I created the Creative Tech Concierge, a program focused on business process and technology integration, because small businesses deserve to compete and thrive in this new economy.
Why? Because I love all things creative, tech and innovation. I have a knack for taking the complex and making it simple. (Thank you Six Sigma Green Belt!)
AND...because there's nothing better than watching someone's eyes light up when they realize what's possible in their business.
I help you to discover your potential, develop your strengths and design your success... your way!
My style? Think of it as straight talk with a side of fun. Because who says building a business has to be boring?
Here's what I know for sure: we all started our businesses to make an impact. But getting stuck in the details? That's not why you're here. And it's definitely not where you should stay.
I'm on a mission to help 1000 women transition from corporate into entrepreneurship, show up powerfully online, and create businesses that feel as good as they look. No overwhelm, no pretense - just real strategies that work.
Ready to write your next chapter? Let's make it fun.
