You know what you offer, you know your audience. You’ve got plenty of work to do. (It’s honestly getting harder to keep up these days).
Chances are you’ve seen more consistent sales recently than ever before.
It feels new. It feels exciting. It feels fragile and…stressful.
Behind the scenes it’s like a juggling act.
Keeping up with quality delivery, endless emails (ugh), thinking about hiring more help, figuring out your next move.
All the while your work hours start to creep up.
With everything going on, maybe a thing or two even slipped through the cracks. Or you’re falling behind on things. (It happens to the best of us.)
The good news? These are good problems to have. (There’s demand for what you do!)
The truth? You can’t keep going like this.
There is no one correct way to grow your business.
It all depends on what your goals are.
You can decide the size you want the business to be, whether you grow a small or large team, build a lifestyle business or a sellable asset.
That said, some things do remain timeless and true, you want to:
Build a business that runs smoothly to create a delightful experience for you, your team, and the people you serve
Create a healthy workplace that is both financially sustainable and supports you and your team’s well-being
Be intentional and reduce reliance on you working in the business day-to-day so that it is set up to grow long-term
What happens next largely rests on what you decide to do.
When making changes to sustain growth, we’ve learned a few key decisions and actions that, when you get right, make all the difference.
They involve being able to:
Ensure time, money, attention, energy, and skills are put in the right places and are coordinated across the business, for you and your team
Take action in the right order so that each action builds upon the previous to create progress
Strike a balance between structure and flexibility in your operations to produce quality outcomes today and be able to adapt for the future
To avoid constant re-thinking and make these decisions properly develop a clear, sound, strategy to direct your business.
To avoid falling short, pair your strategy with great execution. Without both, it’s difficult to go far.
At m times v, strategy and execution are inseparable.
When you approach business strategy with operations in mind, you won’t be left with a fluffy vision that you can’t implement.
When you approach business operations with a sound strategy in hand, you won’t waste your resources on the wrong things and end up boldly going…nowhere.
When you bring great strategy and execution together, your business can take on more, earn more, and have a bigger impact—without all the exhaustion and decision fatigue.
In simpler words:
Strategy without execution means you’ll stand still.
Execution without strategy means you’ll spin in circles.
Strategy Execution means you’ll move swiftly in the right direction.
Strategy without execution means you’ll stand still.
Execution without strategy means you’ll spin in circles.
Strategy Execution means you’ll move swiftly in the right direction.
When bubbling over work with, a lot of times founders try to fix this by addressing operational issues, for example:
Trying to find the perfect tool or software to get organized…without optimizing their workflows first
Documenting their processes…without revisiting their operating model
Rushing to bring on an assistant...without establishing key training processes first
These often end up being short term fixes.
When expanding business capacity, the long-term fixes lie the intersection of strategy and operations.
We've run over 350+ personalized 1:1 sessions with 50+ founders to guide them through reshaping the inner workings of their business—giving them room to breathe and keep growing.
We'll bring a fresh perspective and trained eye to help you identify the simple, effective, changes to make inside your business to help you do the same.
And determine what specific steps to take to set up your business strategy and operations for the long-term.
Without using a one-size fits all approach or skipping any key steps along the way.
Founder, Ways of Words
“I was overwhelmed and unsure of how to develop my fast-growing business so as to keep it wholly in line with my values and achieve a healthy work-life balance.
After Monisha’s program, I feel like a huge weight has lifted off my shoulders.
Monisha was able to guide me in creating a very clear vision and strategy, and — most importantly — now I have a step-by-step plan I can follow for implementation.
She provides a clear structure to the program, making sure we achieve our objectives in a short amount of time, while staying flexible enough to improvise and adapt when priorities change as a result of our work.
She brings joy to business development and a clear-headed, grounded approach that has been truly game-changing for me.”

“I knew where I wanted to go, but not how to get there.
Working with Monisha was exactly what I needed!
Monisha was able to see all the pieces of the puzzle and fit them together in a cohesive and approachable way.
She helped me take my general ideas and big picture thinking, and distill that down into a very actionable and detailed plan.
I now have a clear direction and path to follow to make my goals happen.“

Creative entrepreneur
“I reached out to Monisha in an attempt to organize my day-to-day; I manage many different growing projects and most of them are creative. I’d been wasting a lot of time switching between tasks and projects, which impacted my ability to enjoy the process and deliver my best work.
Monisha very quickly understood what I needed and how I needed it organized. Not only did she take that into account, but she paid attention to my learning style too, so the process of co-creation was fun, motivating, and incredibly fruitful.
She was also organized so we knew exactly what had to get done throughout the program while remaining flexible enough so we could tend to what was needed in the moment.
It was a true pleasure to work with Monisha. They say structure gives more freedom, which can be counterintuitive. With her help, this sentence has taken all its meaning.
My work with Monisha has been nothing short of life-changing! Her expertise and skills have revolutionized the way I do work and she has helped me get closer to my dreams: to work 16 hours per week.”

“I used to think strategy was something I could do on my own. Now I know it is worth investing in someone who really knows their stuff!
When you hit a wall with your business, everything becomes a blur and you can’t seem to make sense of anything.
I worked with Monisha in a custom program, she came in, sorted through the mess and managed to lead me out of it, culminating in a clear roadmap for the future and how to implement the systems in making things happen!
I enjoyed the whole process of working with her and only wish I had done it sooner. She has great vision, is trustworthy and fun to work with. Just jump on a call with her and see for yourself!”
