Challenges Faced During the Journey:
She’ve been a consultant for the past decade, and that definitely began at the right point in time for her. But she do wish that she had shifted my mindset from “independent consultant” to “consultancy” earlier in her journey for a few reasons.
Initially when her client load would get to large she would have to turn down work – there just wasn’t enough of her to do it all. Once she shifted to the consultancy mindset, and started bringing on additional talent to help manage different aspects of projects, she was able to take on more and continue to build the Shan Comms book of business (and revenue) while maintaining a product standard she could be proud of.
Advice for Women Entrepreneurs:
It sounds cliche, but don't be afraid to be honest. Do what you say you are going to do, and when unforeseen things or obstacles pop up, be up front about it. That also includes being honest with what you need from your clients and employees in order to be successful.
