Over it!

Feel overwhelmed and overworked?  Trying to do more in hopes for more.

Shiny Object Syndrome

Feel depleted from chasing the next shiny object.  Each time you see a new trend, you think it’s the next best thing… Is it?

Lack Clarity

With the many facets of business operations and trying to do it all, you feel unclear in which area of business truly needs your focus for growth and profitability.

Unpredictable Pricing/Packaging

When it comes to creating a proposal, it’s often emotionally based.  You’re unsure where your rates fall within the market.

IN The Business

You spend more than 95% of your time working IN the business and not ON it.

Lackluster

Following your passion into business, you’ve been taking everything as it comes however, not everything is in alignment with what you envisioned.  You’re now ready to mindfully scale your business and lead a life in alignment.

Sound like you?

You’ve been working on building a successful business and while there’s movement, there’s no true momentum.  Doing it all alone is no longer an option. 

You’re ready for more!

From Our Clients

We’re here to support you, regardless of where you are in your business journey.  Here’s what people are saying…

“If you are invited to a mastermind experience with lead strategist Maryann Cruz say YES!! You have just been offered a HUGE growth opportunity! I have had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with a small group of women lead by Maryann Cruz for almost a year now. She has the ability to support, challenge and teach her clients in a way that helps them see a BIGGER picture of themselves. I have found her tools of mind mapping, goals setting strategies and productivity tactics to be truly useful in helping me to up level my revenue possibilities.

My favorite activity is the “hot seat” when you can ask for feedback from ALL the mastermind participants and glean their expert advice. I would highly recommend this process and with Maryann as your guide, you will surely gain a great insight to your dreams of success. No matter what they may be!”

Mary Carangelo

Fashion Therapist, Independent Cabi Stylist

“I had the privilege of being a member of Maryann’s Mastermind. There are two things that made this mastermind so successful.

Maryann knows business and understands how to help an entrepreneur get from point A to B. She asks the tough questions to create a shift and the appropriate next steps.

Maryann selected an amazing group of female professionals. These women are a think tank of brilliance all with the same goal of moving their businesses forward while offering support to the group.

Thank you Maryann for the guidance you have given me on this entrepreneurial journey. And thank you for the opportunity to participate in your Mastermind. It has been an invaluable resource. The meetings are put on the calendar in pen. They are not to be missed!”

Pamela Mulhearn

Founder, Her Podium

“Working with Maryann Cruz means 10x the productivity. Her mastermind helped me with every aspect of my business. She made sure as a group we executed the plan too because she knows a plan is only effective when implemented efficiently. I really loved learning how to mind map because that alone can be applied to sort out ideas, gain clarity on next steps and even plan a content calendar.

Sitting in the hot seat was my favorite session, by having like-minded entrepreneurs dive into my business and challenge me helped me come up with solutions and tactics that I could have never come up on my own. Maryann has your back, always.”

Prati Kaufman

Marketing Energy Coach

“Maryann Cruz is magical! Simply getting an invitation to join her coaching mastermind group changed the course of my journey and led to amazing opportunities for my business (like speaking gigs and published books)! She has an intuitive ability to bring like-minded women together and to guide your business to the next level. And she is starting a new group soon, so I say get in touch with Maryann Cruz – Business Strategist if you want magic in your business too!”
