BUSINESS STRATEGY DAY
What can you get done in a day?
Hi! I’m Stacy Luft and I work one on one with entrepreneurs to help them grow from self-employed to CEO with teams and systems they can rely on.
Think of these Strategy Days as Mini Business Assessment sessions. Throughout the year and as your business develops, you will face new and different challenges.
Business is cyclical. Each quarter there are certain areas of the business that need attention.
For example, in the first quarter, you are focused on developing new business. Second-quarter you may find that you aren’t on target to make your financial goals. Third-quarter is a great time to review your systems and keep your focus on developing your client relationships. Fourth-quarter is the time to finalize forecasts for the year, tax planning with your CPA, and planning goals for the new year.
WHAT CAN WE WORK ON?
- Thinking bigger for your business and stretching your imagination to explore what is really possible.
- Planning for that success, and putting that plan into action.
- Making the move from being simply self-employed, to thinking, acting and leading like a business owner
- Hiring the right people, manage them, hold them accountable, and encourage their growth
- Implementing systems that protect your business and its reputation
- Creating revenue models that support your personal and business goals.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- For a FULL day chat with me using Voxer. Everything is located in one easy app.
- One on One Chat send voice or text messages as your day allows.
- Time to think about your questions and answers. Take your time to ask your questions and then process the answer.
- No long blocks of time that are exhausting and difficult to schedule with everything else already on your plate.
- Implement what we work on and get immediate feedback with guidance for the next steps.
- Book your strategy day as needed. No need to commit to ongoing coaching or consulting. Get help when YOU need it most.
ABOUT HOW i CAN HELP
Hi! I’m Stacy Luft and I work one on one with Entrepreneurs to help them grow from self-employed to CEO with teams and systems they can rely on.
I earned my A.A.S. Accounting degree from Suffolk County Community College and my B.S. in Accounting and Executive M.B.A. from St. Joseph’s College.
In addition to working with clients and members of CEO Growth Academy, I am a CE Lecturer for the Bookkeeping Certification Program at Hofstra University on Long Island, NY.
I launched CEO Growth Academy, where in addition to one to one coaching, I’ve created courses on budgeting, operations and financial knowledge that every business owner needs in order to become a CEO. Entrepreneurs are the inspiration for the inception of the Academy. Supporting business owners through topics that at times can be overwhelming. No fluff, no-nonsense, just straightforward information to build a real business, whether it’s online, offline or both.
How do I know what mistakes business owners make? Because I’ve made them myself. After years of managing other people’s businesses, I still made the same mistakes once it was MY money and assets on the line. I didn’t take the time to set up the systems I knew my business needed to grow and I was crushed under the weight of it all. I can help you avoid these pitfalls by helping you learn from me, and many other business owners’ mistakes. Teaching you how to get off the hamster wheel, or pick yourself up again if you’ve fallen down.
Stacy is a visionary who understands and focuses on the bigger picture. Working with her will help you take your company to the next level, think long term, be proactive and avoid unpleasant surprises. Stacy is incredibly professional and knows her stuff.
Why work with me?
I truly enjoy helping people solve problems and hearing that sigh of relief from an entrepreneur that’s been struggling with an issue or an idea for a long time.
My background as a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and an Operations person has helped me understand how profitability and people work hand in hand.
Sometimes the answer isn’t on the income statement but the employee morale. Sometimes the business has outgrown its processes.
