Let’s Work Together
Hi THERE, NEW FRIEND!

I’m Holly — a business strategist who loves a good plan and flow chart.

I’m crazy passionate about teaching women like you how to build your dream job and scale to 6-figures without sacrificing your weekends or priorities.

As an ex-fortune 500 business consultant, let me teach you how to make strategy simple and reach your multiple 6+ figure goals in 8-10 hours a week.

Pst... we built our business in less than 2 years during a pandemic with multiple offers, products, and now a Top 100 podcast while I was working full-time and raising twins.

And now I'm here to help you do the same.

My Signature

After 22 years of corporate strategy consulting, I have taken my Fortune 500 experience and created a formula that you can customize to your goals and schedule with a proven success record. You can apply this method right away to create your offer suite and scale to multiple 6+ figures in less than 12 months.

SYSTEMS + SCALEABLE OFFERS

Where can you automate and duplicate to control your time and focus more on your income producing activities? The CTR method teaches you how to create systems that work for you allowing you to shift your focus to what matters most.

Dabbled in network marketing after being inspired to find a schedule that worked better for our family.
