Entrepreneurs learn the tricks of marketing and networking from an expert in the business

With over 15 years of consulting experience with Online Businesses, Salons, Real Estate Agents, Gyms, Retail, Legal, international Business, and much more Natalie has always had a passion to help others. With a Bachelors in Political Science and Bachelors in Criminal Justice and Criminology with an emphasis in business from the University of Missouri - Kansas City, along with being a Licensed Real Estate Agent in both Kansas and Missouri she has great knowledge in multiple industries.

Her experience in Marketing comes from owning a Marketing and SEO company for 5 years. In 2005 she opened a Women's Fitness Studio in downtown Kansas City. A time when all women fitness studios  were completely non existent. It was a new industry in the market. She had to create a company from the ground up with no other companies in the industry to help boost her presence.  

From 2005 to 2007 she had not only doubled her revenue, but doubled the client base. Then in 2008 the recession hit. She used what type of service she had to her advantage. With those Marketing skills she obtained it was the best year she had to date. As the demand for her services began to rise so did the need for more staff. She ended her 10 year ownership with 20 employees 2 locations (Kansas City and Las Vegas) and had serviced over 50,000 clients before selling the business in 2015.

Since 2015 she has continued being an entrepreneur and business consultant in many different industries. Let her help you be just as successful. Natalie is a motivational speaker, a coach, a blogger, a mother of 4 children and an active volunteer with many local organizations.
