Purpose Is Service


When all is said and done, here is why I’m energized serving my clients, catalyzing emergence, supporting their growth paths, amplifying their imprint as they scale their impact and shape the world 🚀


Let me share with you 3 recent testimonials from clients who recommended my work to other (now) clients that embody my big WHY :


🥐 The best thing that came out of France since they invented croissant 🤣🤣 Impact fund manager Holding company CEO


🙏Merci beaucoup pour ton soutien et ta bienveillance ! Ce sont des gens comme toi qui permettent aux entrepreneurs d'avancer... Tech startup Founder


🎯Again, thank you for the conversation as it has confirmed the mindset change I knew was needed but could not quite grasp myself! Great resources you have shared. I’ve come across other financing solutions but not suitable, this you pointed me to now, that’s exactly what I need! I still can’t tempt you in becoming a board member ? ♟ Tech scale up Founder


With Gratitude,

Date Your Business Ideas

🤣Friday Humour4good for my Startups & Emerging Managers


Tough Love From The Coach 💜

When clients launch start-ups/funds to do what they are interested in or passionate about and not what their market (what they believe their market and natural customers or investors are) needs or wants and without prior testing in real life first (pre-marketing) … only to find out that it ain’t gonna work out … 😢😔 💔

📍Conclusion: test early your ideas (💝Date your ideas💡) and prototype, get ready to pivot, shift, test, pivot, shift … rinse and repeat at the lowest cost possible until you find what works! Product / market fit / adoption /Investment (funding) - readiness happens only when enough of the right customers buy (investors commit, philanthropists donate... ) and that does not automatically mean your team is capable of running a successful business (organization...) nor will prevent any internal or external adverse impact to threaten your very survival … Welcome to the entrepreneurial journey ⛵️🎢 With Gratitude,

Florence
