Here’s my story:
Growing up in an entrepreneurial family, I was fascinated with the idea of having my own business from a young age. The family hardware store was my early training ground. It instilled in me a deep understanding of the business world and fueled my ambition to one day venture out on my own entrepreneurial journey. And so I did! Just like any business journey I had numerous setbacks that have marked my path, yet I refused to let them get in the way of my business vision each time. Falling only forced me to get back up, learning and cultivating resilience daily.
I spent the last 25 years developing effective strategies for numerous companies, including owning two family businesses specializing in operations and marketing. These experiences cultivated a joy for the ins and outs of business! Over the years I’ve developed well rounded skills, processes and strategies that lead to results.
Some Examples of Dawn’s impactful work include:
- Designing efficient workflows that boost team productivity and allow business owners to focus on income-generating work
- Implementing strategic plans that facilitate long-term growth and success across both online and brick-and-mortar businesses
- Developing customized marketing strategies that help businesses attract consistent clients beyond referrals
- Coaching non-profit founders, their teams/ministries to clarify their messaging and increase donor engagement through digital and community outreach
- Launching local visibility campaigns that include billboard ads, radio commercials, and print materials to boost public awareness
- Providing expert administrative and tech support to streamline operations and reduce daily overwhelm
- Supporting business owners in planning and executing lead-generating events and community partnerships
- Elevating brand presence by creating visually compelling graphics, slide decks, social media templates, and promotional materials
- Strengthening and revamping client communication systems to improve retention, referrals, and overall client experience and follow-up-reducing administrative burden.
- Coaching business owners to confidently show up online with messaging that speaks directly to their ideal audience
- Running a 6-month group coaching program that provides hands-on implementation support, accountability, and tailored feedback
- Troubleshooting back-end systems (like CRMs, scheduling tools, or email platforms) to reduce frustration and increase automation
- Helping service-based business owners organize and market their offers in a way that feels aligned, profitable, and doable
- Providing marketing and planning support to business owners transitioning from a 9–5 job into full-time entrepreneurship
Cultivating strong relationships has also been a top priority for me.
I believe in fostering open communication and trust within teams and across communities. I've been highly responsive to any challenges that may arise with thoughtful solutions in my back-pocket. Further, I’ve been able to bring the benefit of offering local and regional support while leveraging a large network of resources within reach.
I have a great appreciation for the jobs, projects, and promotions throughout my career, and the wonderful people who took the time to mentor and teach me.
Today, I continue to be the one that friends, relatives and former coworkers come to when they need to build order and intelligence into any project. So, if you're looking for someone who can be your go-to solution generator and lead your team to success, let's make things happen!
I live in Indiana with my husband of 30 years and spend my free time enjoying being outside in nature, walking, trail riding, gardening, antiquing/flea markets, spending time with her husband, family, horses and volunteering in her church and community.
