I have learned so much by working with Michelle that I don't know where to begin.  Before Michelle came along:

 

I worked 12-14 hour days everday-7days a week.

 

I would not let anybody else help me do my work for fear of it not being completed properly...

 

I did not follow a "budget" or look at the "numbers" on a regular basis...

 

I had a lot of ideas, but never would follow through on them...

 

Since Michelle came along:

 

I now hired 2 more employees to assist me with my work, which therefore enables me to leave after only an 8-9 hour day.  Yes, my 6 employees can do the work that I expect of them.  We now work as a team together.

 

I now look at my business in a totally different way-as a business.  "I pay special attention to the budget, watch my numbers weekly, and chart everything.  It's amazing to see the growth.

 

Michelle gave us a lot of new ideas, and made sure we got them accomplished.

 

Our business is growing at a rate of 25% monthly...

 

I now have a mission statement, before I didn't even know what one was.

 

Michelle has helped our business out tremendously.  Her expertise has given us a new outlook on marketing, budgeting, and overall how to run a business more efficiently.  In addition to helping me grow a very successful business, she has also given me my evenings back to spend my time with my new grandson.

 

Thank you Michelle!!!!

 We began working with Michelle in February 2005.  At that time, our center was operating at a breakeven point with a cash reserve that was not supportive of the size of our center.  By using Michelle's coaching advice, our cash reserve has increased 800% and we have a manageable, up-to-date accounts payable that allows us to take advantage of discount periods and avoid late fees.

 

Michelle has taught us to look at various aspects of our business such as:  team training/development, financial development of systems and checklists, time management, cash flow analysis and continuous quality improvement.

 

By applying what we have learned from Michelle, our employee absentee rate is now manageable.  A professional hiring procedure is now in place.

 

This past year has been both an educational and rewarding experience.  From where we began to our present status, we now have the assurance that payroll and expenses can be met in addition to continue growing our cash reserve.

 

Michelle Landis had given us the keys to operating a successful business that now has sights on the future.  We thank her and encourage others to utilize her services and wisdom.

When I started coaching, I was coming off a very tough year…I was having team problems, working long, hard hours, and not making enough money. Within six months after I started coaching things really started to turn around; I had four crews  working, I was spending more time with my family and my revenues had more then doubled. The best part, however, is that now most of my debt is paid off and my family and I are planning vacations to Hawaii and Germany!!! I would recommend Michelle and business coaching to any business owner or manager that wants to really grow their business and get it to the next level...

 One day I had the pleasure of first meeting my business coach, Michelle Landis. I wasn’t being sold a bill of goods for the sake of the sale. Rather I was beginning to see someone with resources available to team with me and keep me focused on the success of my business. 

Since that point together we have made great strides in the business and have improved on some of my personal skills as well. Michelle has been supportive, optimistic, adaptive, and continues to encourage me and offer suggestions in a way that I actually listen to! I am excited about where my company is headed and would highly recommend her in any business environment.
