Small Business Coach
"You are the key to your small business’s success."
- Hillarie Kay -
My passion has always been helping small business owners. I’m a third generation small business owner myself , and I know first hand about all the ups and downs which occur as you start and scale your business for long-term sustainability.
Throughout the years of working with Small Business Owners, I’ve noticed one thing they all have in common. Even when they have a sustainable business strategy, they lack the confidence following through with that strategy. They are stuck in consuming ideas and won’t take action on what they already know.
That’s why I’ve created my Find, Brand, Be Coaching program. In this program we start by finding out who you are as a person FIRST, then we build your marketing and operations around who you are as a small business owner. Let’s be real: you directly affect how your business operates and grows. If your strategies aren’t sustainable for you, the business owner, then they won’t be sustainable for your business.

What's Holding You Back?
I mean really, let’s lay it all out there. What’s keeping you from taking the next step toward developing yourself and growing your business?
Here are the common objections I hear:
1. Time. I’m already so busy. I don’t have time for another thing to be added to my plate. Well, let me ask you this? Can you afford to keep taking the time doing things like you’re doing now that aren’t moving yourself or business anywhere? Let’s work together to identify those time obstacles for a more sustainable strategy.
2. Money. I can’t afford to invest. But what does it look like if you don’t? Will you be burnt out and your mental health shot? Will you have to shut down your business because you’re not growing? You have to invest to grow. Invest in yourself and invest in your business.
3. Not sure if it’s a right fit. This is the easiest obstacle to overcome. Let’s talk to each other and find out! Schedule a free 30 min needs analysis call with me. I’ll give it to you straight. Schedule on my calendar HERE.

About Hillarie Kay
Hey Small Business Owner! I’m so pumped you’re here. I’m a third generation small business owner, so when I say #smallbusinesslove, I MEAN IT!
At the beginning of my career I sought out a PR and Marketing Management degree, and found myself working in agencies and in corporate America for the first 5 years out of college, but it became very clear to me that being an entrepreneur and small business owner myself was the key to my happiness and fulfillment in life.
I’ve made it my mission to to help small business owners no matter where they are at in their business. I help small business owners identify who they are as a person and business owner, and then coach them on forming the marketing and operations strategies and tactics most sustainable to their personality type.
When I’m not working with Small Business Owners, I’m a wife, mom of two boys and stepmom to 3 boys. I split my time between Southeast Missouri and the Durham area of North Carolina. I’m obsessed with the 60s and 70s and you can often finding me thrifting around vintage shops on the weekends.
I can’t wait to meet and learn all about YOU and your business!
