Time Investment
A better way to manage time.
Overwhelmed with options?
Owning a business was supposed to be your ticket to freedom. You pictured setting your own hours and having more time for yourself and your family. In reality, your ever growing to-do list and responsibilities have you from working more hours to keep up, and your evenings and weekends have disappeared.
The good news? There is a better way! You can experience less stress and have more freedom when you know how to prioritize and focus on what matters most. The answer is Time Investment.
You can find the work/life balance you want!
Time Management doesn’t work
You’re probably thinking time management is your weakness. If you could just manage your time better you’d have the solution you need. Did you know the concept of time management has been around for more than 100 years? You’ve likely tried recommended methods and found little, if any, success. Even with hundreds of books and thousands of articles and blogs, we still struggle with time.
Traditional time management is about efficiency - about doing more things and doing them faster. Now you’re doing more in less time, and you feel overwhelmed. At the end of the day, it feels like you did a lot, yet accomplished little. In short, you’re busy... and that’s the problem!
Less Busy-ness, More Progress
As a solo entrepreneur you are pulled in many directions. With many options to pursue, you try to do too much and are working more hours than you’d like. Did you know research shows that when you’re busy, you accomplish less? It’s true! Working harder doesn’t work.
You don’t need more hours in the day. When you know how to Clarify your direction, Choose your priorities and Focus your time, you’ll make real progress on the work
that serves you and your business best.

Client Reviews
Working with Elaine has left me with less stress, more clarity, and I can focus on real priorities. Her
suggestions are making a big difference in my work life - it’s great to have someone whom I can share
things with without guilt or embarrassment, who can guide me in the right direction and help me gain
confidence in my ability to do it myself!

Elaine’s help has saved me time and anxiety and boosted my productivity. All of the changes she helped
me implement were real and relevant to my situation. She supported and underlined what I was already
doing that served me.
– Libba Pinchot, PhD
Elaine designed a plan for me that still makes sense a year later and has resulted in a much more
effective system. Now I have the clarity to handle business obligations and a flexible schedule that provides time for family and personal activities.
She simplified my complex circumstances to create the balance I wanted. Elaine is a pleasure to work
with, has a good sense of humor about my mess, and had unending patience as we found something
that would work for me.

I wanted to be a freelance writer and consultant. However, I found myself overwhelmed and struggling to balance my time and responsibilities. I was surprised at what a difference working with Elaine made! We figured out a daily and weekly schedule that worked for me in my exact situation.
I now enjoy a much better work-life balance. I'm already meeting many of the goals I envisioned for myself and am well on my way towards others.
