About Conversations with Crystal-Marie™ 

Conversations with Crystal-Marie™ is the name of my blog, my online video collection and much of what I create to inspire. Around 2014, I began to realize that small business and entrepreneurial clients, largely women, had begun to second-guess themselves after engaging with ‘advisors’ of a certain nature. In my own entrepreneurial journey, which began during the MBA, in 2009, I also began to have a myriad of eureka moments, all along the same path. Burnout, watching the shift in those clients’, listening to fellow entrepreneurs and friends talk about the same challenges, lead me to motivational speaking, keynotes and my two (2) best-seller anthologies, around authenticity and gentle resilience.

Conversations with Crystal-Marie™ today, has evolved into a series of self-talk videos and blogs that share awakening moments based on both my own intuitive journey, and insights from private conversations, that I know support other introverted, empath women who thrive in the feminine. Authenticity, self-acceptance, the feminine and intuition, in honour of compatibility, sovereignty, boundaries and our right to pivot as we learn and grow, are at the heart of all aspects of these conversations.

The same is true of these private sessions. The key to our sessions truly serving you well is compatibility. Explore more below to see what resonates, and get a sense of who I am on Instagram, YouTube, and more recently, on Patreon.

In all things, embrace only if this resonates, release it if it does not, and know that all is well, regardless.

Mindful Entrepreneurship for Mindful Affluence™

Mindfully empowering you to earn more, work less and serve better clients, better.

Pricing

Pricing strategy. How do you price your services - time, expertise, unique value, client budgets? Pricing is more than just cost of service delivery. Whatever your strategy, if you're losing money, it's not working. You can turn it around.

  • Cost of Living

  • Cost of Business

  • Value to Clients - time, space, revenue

Process

Your process. Do your preliminary consultations determine client needs and compatibility? What happens after? Let's clarify your role and your clients'. Clear the clutter while keeping quality. Keep what truly serves you and your clients.

  • Your Process—no scope creep

  • Template

  • Streamline

Feasible Schedule

Feasible schedule. Inspired creativity or focused productivity at your pace. Rethink project management. Pareto's 80/20 principle helps clear the clutter to streamline without sacrificing quality. What inspires creativity, instead of burn out, for you and your clients?

  • Your Business Hours

  • Client Projects - in the business

  • Business Planning - on the business

These come together to give you a clear, confident path toward the business you want intrinsically.

 
 

Mindful strategy. Monthly retainer or 5-week turnaround?

The retainers below are at least three (3) months, and allow you to mindfully go at your own pace, as you make decisions that make significant changes to your business. The Mindful Entrepreneurs Mastermind works for those just starting up who could use some community as well. Also three (3) months long, it’s a good segue into consulting, as needed.  Alternatively, if you’re getting started with some urgency, facing very real challenges — health, financial, well-being — that demand changes soon, in just 5 weeks, we can get you set with a new strategy or business model. This is an intensive guided reflection that takes you through the same process with laser focus.
