running a business can be hard as 'hail'

Are you feeling lost when it comes to defining success on your own terms? It's time to dig your heels in and truly gain clarity. You deserve to show up every day with a sense of direction and fulfillment. If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, you're not alone. 

My goal is to guide you on your journey to redefine success and create a business that's in alignment with your heart's mission. We'll work together to identify your strengths, address any gaps, clarify your vision, and build a roadmap to achieve all of the incredible things you've set out to do. 

Whether you're just starting out and ready to turn this love of yours into a profitable business... or you've been bustin' your hiney and ready to identify the gaps in your business so you can really take it to the next level...

You're in the right place!

I get it

But it doesn't have to be that way...

I'm Sharon elizabeth

I've definitely seen a thing or two in business over the last 15 years... I've overcome burn out... I've streamlined workflows, reworked systems, created boundaries, built an associate team, coached hundreds of creatives but you know what, I've most certainly messed up along the way too - but guess what... 15 years is a long time to grow and improve and I've got a lot I wanna share with you!

I believe every set back is an opportunity for growth and I'm ready to shoot it to you straight -- if you haven't already, you will fumble a little in your business... it's inevitable... but I'm here to help guide you along the way so that you're prepared for the fumble -- so you've got a game plan and a roadmap to overcome those set backs...

Take it from me... you do NOT have to do this alone. I'm your no fluff kind of business advocate and therapist if you will! I'll cheer you on - encourage you... but I'll also challenge you... because what good is a coach if they only ever tell you how awesome you are (which you are)... you need someone who will skip the sugar and sit you down - criss cross apple sauce style - and truly help you grow your business by tellin' it to you straight!

and I've totally been there...

Jessica Ryan chenard

She’s a word ninja and helped me so much on how I spoke to couples & how I kept the conversation moving forward into booking. We broke down all of my pricing and restructured it to where it actually made sense... out of all of the educational things I have invested in over the years this one was by far the most return in investment I have seen, and am still seeing! Book her. Love her. And she’ll make you grow!

I went from 8 weddings booked for the year to 18 in just two
 months after coaching with Sharon!

Wedding Photographer 
Founder of Her Hike Collective

I've learned so much from her... She really pushed me to start my photography business. It was the kick in the butt that I needed. Over the years I've done multiple mentoring sessions with Sharon and she's always so knowledgeable and really helps me challenge myself to get my business to where it is today. I'm forever thankful for everything she has poured into me. She is truly incredible and without her I would not be where I am today... a full time wedding and portrait photographer.

...and without her, I would not be where I am today.

Meghan White

Wedding and Portrait Photographer
Co-Founder of Fowl Plains

She guides mentees through growing through pains in their business and helps develop tangible strategies to overcome mindset mishaps. Above all she pours into her people. She understands the mental game that small business [owners] go through and she really knows how to leverage that to help people shift their mindset from fear to action. 

Sharon is a light that knows her stuff and is always willing to help. To answer questions after the mentoring is complete. She is there to bounce ideas off of. She continues to be a staple and an encourager.

Sharon is someone you want in your pocket, in your corner. Whether that is mindset, strategy, or business advice. She is there to cheer you on, provide you direction, and no fluff tell it like it is!

Elizabeth Friske Bargy

Wedding and Portrait Photographer
Founder of Soul of the Sea Print Shop

When I first was mentored by Sharon I knew right away she had the soul of a true teacher. She didn't just fire information at me, she asked the right questions... I gained so much from that first coaching session that two years later I went back for more. My business is what it is today because of my relationship with Sharon! I will be forever grateful to have such an amazing teacher, she teaches like no other and shares her entire heart!  

She knows how to dig into what we really want and then help create a road map to get there.
