About Us

From Dreaming To Doing!

Crafting Success Stories - Building Businesses, Supporting Balance, Empowering Your Goal

With over 25 years of combined experience, we have a wealth of talent, skills and knowledge at our disposal; which we offer to our clients who are just starting off, looking to improve or simply looking to just get stuff done!

So, here’s the deal! Business Plans etc. came together because we know the struggle firsthand. Starting businesses solo was tough – lots to learn, time, and money down the drain. And even with all our experience, it was still draining mentally and emotionally. We had different journeys, starting businesses on the side to increase our incomes, starting fresh after retirement, jumping all in with our passions; but our experience was the same.  We all learned one thing for sure – women grow better and stronger with support.

But let’s face it, the world doesn’t always get the needs of women or the working mom’s reality. That’s why we formed Business Plans etc. with this idea that when women team up, we get things DONE! We’ve got brilliant ideas, and the world needs more of that. Our goal? To help you turn those thoughts and goals from your heart and mind into the real world – without all the stress. Trust us, we’ve been there. Let’s do this together!
