WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST HEADACHE?

  • Problems in manufacturing/producing your product/service
  • Your paperwork mountain
  • Your people/employees
  • Getting supplies in a timely fashion
  • Maximizing your marketing dollars
  • Or something else. Perhaps a good problem is keeping up with demand, but you can lose it by not filling orders promptly.

BUDGETING YOUR TIME

  • Filling out Department of Revenue forms,
  • getting permits and licenses,
  • setting payment options
  • developing a marketing plan and advertising
  • creating an online presence
  • getting business cards, a brochure, a flyer and more

Getting your "DUCKS IN A ROW" takes up all your time, that is, when you are not creating your wonderful product or performing your service.

KNOWING YOUR TRUE COSTS is essential, you have a good product but you may be producing and selling at a loss.

QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING:

Who are your customers? Why should they buy your product or service? What need does your product fill? Do your marketing materials match up with your product/service and what you want to communicate? How do you best communicate with your ideal customers?

SETTING PRIORITIES

Using a logical, step-by-step approach reduces headaches.

Can you look at your activities as a process that can be monitored and tweaked?

BEING ORGANIZED

How do you set and accomplish small daily tasks that become bigger items crossed off your to-do list?

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO:

The simple answer is that we love our work with those who have a dream they would like to fulfill.

It's satisfying to help someone solve problems that we've encountered and dealt with in our many years of being in business. TAKING EVEN SMALL STEPS CAN LEAD TO POSITIVE CHANGES.

Our costs are low, and we can afford to charge a very reasonable fee. One never leaves this world with possessions, but serving positive relationships is a kind of wealth in itself that never dies.

Clients have their own unique situation, we can step in at whatever point is needed.
SOME CLIENT COMMENTS:

"I wanted to start my life coaching services and had no idea where to begin; earth citizen design helped me with the necessary steps.

Colleen helped me formulate a mission statement, designed my custom logo and color scheme, and helped me with copywriting.

She created a custom website with photos and made me an easy tool to keep track of client notes. Colleen was very prompt and efficient at what she did.

I continue to enjoy working with her; she's always available whenever I need to make an update. I would recommend her to anyone, she's a joy to work with".

Jovita B.

"One of my vendors had promised to create our menus for our new restaurant...but lo and behold...our restaurant was ready to open but no menus!

Colleen took my Word document (with numerous spelling errors) and created stylish menus that matched our logo and business cards for both our bar and our restaurant in record time.

We loved them and I could cross one more things off my list before opening day!"

Jim W.

"I had been painting for other contractors but wanted to go out on my own. I knew nothing about computers but I knew how to paint.

Colleen helped me to set up an Excel file so that I can make a quote to a customer and keep track of income and expenses.

I can print quotes with my logo on demand or email them as pdf files, which I didn't know how to do before Colleen helped me.

The logo she created I really like, and now I have letterheads and business cards...I'm so much farther ahead than I was a few months ago.  Next, we'll be working on a web site and social media. also stuff I knew nothing about.

Colleen has such a creative eye and so much experience about  the details of business, I recommend her wholeheartedly!"

Tim H.

"I wanted to start marketing myself to churches as a Women's speaker. I didn't know where to start, I only knew that I had a goal.

Colleen was wonderful in helping me to figure out my priorities and get my plans off the ground. She has great instincts and experience in the areas I feel I lack...so it was wonderful teamwork!"
