Business Coaching CT & Beyond - Next Door Creations, LLC

Every Business Goes Further With a Coach

One of my earliest memories as an entrepreneur is another business owner telling me:“Every day there’s going to be at least one thing you’ve never done before. The sooner you accept that, the better you’ll be.”

That advice stuck with me. But what I’ve learned since is—you don’t have to go it alone. Business coaching can help you move through those challenges with support, strategy, and perspective.

Why Work With a Business Coach?

Whether you’re just starting out or running a growing company, coaching helps you:

Identify opportunities for profit and growth
Attract and retain more customers
Get organized with systems that save time
Gain an outside perspective to avoid common pitfalls

I’ve worked with countless businesses to increase revenue, streamline operations, and move from feeling stuck to building momentum.

I founded Next Door Creations in 2014, shortly after launching my first children’s book company, Oli Kids Co. Word spread quickly, and other small business owners started seeking my guidance on marketing, operations, and growth.

My background includes a B.S. in Business Administration (Accounting) from the University of Connecticut, experience in public accounting and private equity, and work across both public and non-profit sectors. Combined with my own entrepreneurial journey, these experiences give me a unique perspective to help business owners overcome challenges and thrive.

What We Can Work On Together

Running a business means wearing many hats, and it’s easy to get stuck working in your business instead of on it. Coaching gives you the space, strategy, and accountability to step back, see the bigger picture, and move forward with confidence. Together, we’ll identify the areas that need the most attention and create practical steps you can actually implement—so you can work smarter, not harder.

Here are some of the areas I often coach clients on:

Marketing & Visibility – building your online presence, SEO, and customer acquisition strategies
Financial Foundations – understanding your numbers, pricing your services, and planning for profit
Operations & Systems – creating workflows that save time and reduce stress
Growth & Scaling – hiring, delegating, and building a sustainable team structure
Mindset & Leadership – staying motivated, making confident decisions, and avoiding burnout
Goal Setting & Accountability – turning big ideas into actionable, trackable steps
