How did I get that title? Years ago a client said to me, "Sandi, you really help bring out the badassness in people, you're the BADASS Business Coach!" And, it stuck!

I've been an Entrepreneur since I was 25 years old. I love continuing to educate myself and, as your coach, I will help guide and teach you as well. I will be your CHEERLEADER, your VOICE OF REASON and, yes I'll KICK your ASS into gear when you need it!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHAT I DO! I listen to all the stories – good and bad – the confusion, the muck, the frustration, the "WHY THE HELL DID I DO THIS"? and the "OMG WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?" I jokingly say, "I wear pointy shoes and carry a whip!"

As an Entrepreneur, I've made SO MANY STUPID MISTAKES! I'm here to share my stories, experience and experiences with you, and help you not make the same ones I did! AND, to help you see what YOU and sometimes others don't... that you ARE a BADASS!
