Raves & Reviews
I am so grateful for Liz's expertise in helping me navigate a really challenging time for my preschool. Even though I have not been able to run my preschool full-time nor at capacity due to COVID, Liz has helped me add a new revenue stream that is building momentum and has enabled me to cover all the overhead costs of the building even when I did not have any income from tuition. She has helped me to find resources including grants, classes and educational materials . . . all of which helped me learn a great deal about running a new retail business. Liz has been an amazing source of encouragement and a wealth of information! My business really wouldn't have survived without her guidance. I am truly grateful for her help!

I have worked with Liz Jamieson for one session and she has been terrific and I've signed up for another session.... Hopefully I will get to work with her for the foreseeable future until I have launched my Online Course. She is very experienced as a Business Coach and is a joy to work with. She's very knowledgeable, encouraging, motivating and very supportive. I so look forward to my sessions with Liz. And I'm sure with her support, I'll be able to launch my Online Course that I've been trying to do for the last 6 years!

My Business Advisor has been of immeasurable value. She has helped me increase hours for employees and hire a new employee, as well as helped with cash flow analysis, marketing, and setting financial goals. She helped with my website by reviewing website design and ease of consumer use. I have since had a new website designed with better function and consumer use. Finally, just her upbeat personality has helped me greatly get through the stress of the ups and downs of the COVID 19 and its impact on my company.
