Strategy-led consulting for businesses ready to build smarter, grow faster, and scale sustainably.
“You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems.” ~ James Clear
Business growth doesn’t happen in straight lines. At different stages, your company needs different strategies, systems, and insights. That’s why we developed The Prana Pathways, three clear phases designed to meet your business where it is and move it forward with focus, structure, and measurable results.
Build

​
The Build Pathway focuses on establishing the essential structure every successful business needs. It’s designed for new or relaunching companies that want to move from concept to clarity, building a solid foundation for sustainable growth.

How it Works:
Clarity First, Strategy Always
Our consulting process blends real experience with practical digital tools so you can move forward without the overwhelm. Most clients start with the Business Stage Identification Audit or choose a consulting package that matches their goals.
If you only need help in one area, you can begin with a focused review like the Marketing and Lead Review or the Website Strategy Audit. And if you’re still figuring out what you need, you can explore the free resources or book a quick call to ask questions. You can move at the pace that feels right for your business.
A simple process that gives you clarity and the right level of support.
​
STEP 1: Choose How You Want to Get Started
Most clients begin with the Business Stage Identification Audit because it shows exactly where your business is right now and which pathway fits your needs. If you already know the type of support you want, you can go straight into a consulting package. And if you’re still feeling things out, you can start with one of the quick review and strategy audits or book a short call to ask questions.
​
STEP 2: If You Choose the Audit
You’ll complete a guided assessment, I review your systems and structure, and you receive a clarity report that identifies your stage: Build, Grow, or Scale.
You’ll also get your priority plan and a forty five minute review call.
​
STEP 3: Choose Your Package Within Your Pathway
Once you know your stage, you can select the Four Week Program, or Monthly Advisory option that fits your goals.
Every pathway has its own version of these so the work matches your level of growth.
​
STEP 4: Work Through Your Strategy
Inside your chosen package, we focus on the priorities that matter most for your stage. Everything is straightforward, guided, and designed to help you make real progress.
​
STEP 5: Ongoing Advisory (Optional)
If you want long term support, you can continue with monthly advisory and performance reviews.
STEP 6: Free Resources (Optional)
You can also use our free resources that support your business. Create an account and log in to view the resource page.
Quick Review and Strategy Audits
If you’re not ready for the full Business Stage Identification Audit or you only want clarity in one specific area, these smaller focused reviews give you simple direction without committing to a full consulting pathway.
Marketing and Lead Review
A focused look at how your marketing is performing and where leads are getting stuck.
I review your messaging, offers, traffic sources, and customer journey, then give you clear recommendations that help you improve visibility and lead flow without guessing.
Perfect if you want quick clarity before investing in bigger changes.
Financial Systems & Profit Audit
A practical review of how your business handles money so you can see what’s working, what’s unclear, and where profit is slipping through the cracks.
​
I go through your financial setup, spending patterns, pricing, cash flow, and internal systems to evaluate clarity, stability, and efficiency.
​
You’ll get a straightforward action plan showing exactly what to correct or improve so your business runs cleaner, stays profitable, and has a stronger foundation for growth.
Website Strategy Audit
A practical review of your website to see what’s working, what’s confusing, and what needs an update.
I walk through your site from a customer’s perspective and evaluate clarity, layout, flow, messaging, and overall user experience.
You’ll get a simple action plan showing exactly what to fix or improve so your site feels clean, professional, and effective.
