SARAH GREENER
I’m a business owner who has done stupid on steroids. I’ve burnt myself out, hit the breaking point (in my business and family life), and missed important life events because I was doing more than I could and it wasn’t serving me. I’m the poster child for “she does it all” when behind the scenes I was absolutely running myself ragged and about to crash and burn. Through my mistakes running several businesses and doing TOO much, I’ve learned how to successfully reframe my business so that it works with the life I want. It’s still hard work but it’s worth it.
I’ve learned how to create powerful frameworks that help businesses run sustainably, giving back time and energy back to their owners. I’m able to coach with sincerity and empathy because I’VE BEEN THERE! Now, I bring my knowledge to other mums and women in business to help them reshape their businesses – so they can be great business owners AND great mums too. I help them strategically map out their businesses so that they too can have a framework that works
perfectly for them and their families
