Welcome to A Small Business Life!
Hi, I’m Anna - a Strategic Business Coach, Professional Nudger, and small business enthusiast with over 32 years of real-world entrepreneurial experience.
I’ve spent my entire career living a small business life.
In fact, the only time I ventured into the corporate world was for a grand total of 8 weeks. That short stint ended when the company was bought out, and we were all let go. It was the sign I needed to confirm what I already knew: the corporate world wasn’t for me!
Since then, I’ve owned and operated businesses across a variety of industries, including a party decor company, a boutique fitness studio, a packaging business, and now, a coaching practice. I’ve been through it all - the highs, the lows, the wins, and the losses.
Owning a business isn’t for the faint of heart, and I’ve ridden the roller coaster more than a few times.
Here’s the thing: I know what it feels like to be in your shoes. I’ve faced the doubts, stresses, and sleepless nights. But I’ve also experienced the unmatched joy that comes from building something meaningful. And through it all, I’ve learned that the right support can make all the difference.
What sets me apart from the countless overnight small business influencers out there?
Real-world experience.
My insights aren’t based on textbook theories or flash-in-the-pan trends; they’re grounded in decades of hands-on work with business owners just like you.
My goal is simple: to help you CLARIFY your value, CONNECT with your ideal clients, and TRANSFORM your business so you can grow with confidence.
Through my Substack newsletter, I’ll share actionable strategies, insights, and inspiration to help you:

Create a clear game plan so you always know your next step.
In addition to practical advice, you’ll find business stories, motivational insights, and even a little fun along the way - because running a business shouldn’t be all work and no joy.

-Anna
