Entrepreneurial Advisory

Optimize your business’ potential and enhance your freedom.

Your business is an organism — with the right nourishment, strategy, management, and leadership — can breathe new life into your industry, society, the economy, and your freedom.


Our thoughtful, smart, and actionable strategic guidance via entrepreneurial advisory involves hands-on engagements customized to your specific needs. 

We will identify the “DNA” of your business, its strengths and opportunities, and the values you stand for and the vision you have for making an impact, and we will work alongside you to chart an efficient path for you to optimize your journey to realizing that vision.


How We Position You To Succeed

Elicit’s entrepreneurial advisory synthesizes business, human capital, and financial strategy from having advised dozens of companies and their leaders across stages of evolution and across industries. Refresh your business to optimize its potential in articulation, design, operational management, business strategy, human capital management, and decision-making. 

Our advisory involves conducting an audit of the health of your business, your finances, your human capital, and your leadership.  From there, we work with you to select a few challenge areas for us to focus our strategic guidance on through the period of our engagement.

We appreciate the mechanics of your business operations as well as the macroeconomic factors affecting the context in which you operate in order to align with your challenges and your vision. We apply clarity, experienced critical thinking, and business savvy in our strategic guidance for you and your business.

Revitalize your business design

Work with us to craft a pathway for your business to realize its potential in the marketplace through brand articulation, refining your value exchange, communicating with customers, expanding your market, or making effective financial or human capital decisions.

 

Build, grow and sustain your venture

Wherever you are on the trajectory of your business’ evolution, we will partner with you to ensure you are on solid footing and are stretching into a sensible, smart, and sophisticated approach to preparing for your future vision to be realized.

Core Beliefs

Strength

Efficiency stems in expressing and building on strengths.

Listening

Astute listening and observing are critical to understanding our clients.

Partnership

Partnering and empowering trumps delivering and prescribing.

Evidence-Based

Our evidence-based approach informs thoughtful, customized solutions for growth.

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

– Steve Jobs
