Hey GenXers - Let's get clients, not just "likes".

You spent years building your expertise—now it’s time to build a business that works for you. I help GenX women launch and grow profitable, sustainable businesses perfectly tuned to maximize your own personal blend of money, flexibility and impact.

Whether you’re reinventing your career, your offer, or your audience, my approach blends smart strategy with real-life practicality—because success should enhance your life, not consume it.

Let’s create a business that gives you the life you actually want, AND the confidence of knowing that you never, ever have to be out there looking for a job again.

“This makes SUPER sense. You say everything in such plain English. I get it. It seems so simple and it is really – if I just do the work. Thank you for your support your brain and your direction! Thank you, thank you Laura.

-Clara
Personal Gift Currator

“My AHA moment: You helped me flesh out different scenarios – looking at how many clients I can serve in the way I WANT to serve them and what I need to charge to meet my revenue goals.

-Kelly
Professional Organizer

Now, my business is like a lotus – blossoming from the dense mud into an extraordinary business of opportunity – with a cohesive structure, clearly defined language, and a focused direction. I launched a workshop based on my TEDx talk and received positive feedback with more bookings. This shift has made me feel like I’m running a thriving business rather than a passion project, boosting my confidence and bringing in income for the first time in months.

don't get trapped by.... THE MARKETING MYTH

Too often, coaches and consultants start marketing too early—before they have proof that what they’re selling has the potential to be a long-term, money-making business. My roadmap starts by teaching you how to crack the code on what your ideal customer wants to buy and what they really value. This is how you create the foundation for a smart business that survives the odds.

“Now, my business has transformed. I’ve finally mapped out the key components of my program, structured my offerings to captivate my target audience, and know exactly what my next steps are. I am excited, focused and driven, and for the first time, I know I’ll be successful in launching something I’m genuinely proud of.

-Caroline
Physical Therapist and Fitness Coach

“I joined Business Breakthrough because I was rethinking my core business offerings, and I wanted to work through the financial implications of changing my focus. The personalized feedback and insightful framework helped me integrate the professional, financial and personal so I could align my offers and my target market. The result is a clear brand identity and a website that authentically reflects the work that I want to be doing.

– Amy
Business Transformation Consultant

“I’m in love with this spreadsheet. You’re the first person to really get me excited about numbers.

-Riikka
Author and Love and Spirit Coach

1. You want to make a change to start, grow or pivot your business - but the options feel overwhelming.

We fix the client problem by developing a program that makes it easy for your ideal clients to buy from you.
