Business Consulting for Small Business
Our clients work through components of a Strategic Business Plan during each session. Over time, clients have had the opportunity to address their pressing business needs as well as construct a Strategic Business Plan for their business. Leap Year Business Strategies is dedicated to client success. We believe that through hands on involvement in the Strategic Business Plan process clients have total buy in. Clients have 100% access to files, notes, outlines, and homework at all times.
Over time, clients earn certificates of completion and in the end become Leap Year Certified as Strategic Experts.
Business Coaching for Small Business
Small business owners and professional salespeople need help. Each of us has belief systems that direct our behavior and decision making. Identifying which of those belief systems are serving us and which are not, is a major function of a Business Coach.

Expert guidance and support: Leap Year Business Strategies offers advice on business strategies, marketing, sales, and other key areas.

“If you are starting a business or getting ready to Joanne from Leap Year should literally be your first stop. I had most of the foundation set for my outfit when I came to her, but I could tell she was ready with the right connections and resources to help me if I approached her at any state of my business. She has a great ability for assessing your current position, identifying what or who you need for growth, laying it out in such a checkpoint-like way that every task completed feels like growth for your business. No wasted energy. Definitely will recommend for businesses owners regardless of the status of the business.” - T. Evans
