Most small business owners don't have a dedicated IT department, an operations manager, or an in-house designer. When something breaks, stalls, or just isn't working the way it should, the options usually feel like: figure it out yourself, hire someone expensive, or live with it. Right Sized Services is a different kind of consulting - built for what small businesses actually need."
Whether you have a quick question, a problem that needs proper diagnosis, or a project that needs hands-on help, there's a way to work together that fits the situation and the budget.
With over 20 years running a small business in the Fox Valley, an MBA, and a background that spans design, technology, operations, finance, and vendor management, the person on the other end of the call has actually been in your shoes, and brings experience that goes well beyond the typical small business.
Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who knows.
You're not in crisis. You just have a question you can't quite answer on your own, and you'd rather get a straight answer from someone experienced than spend hours going down a rabbit hole. Maybe you're weighing a decision, trying to understand your options, or just want someone to think it through with you before you commit to anything.
A Quick Answer session is a focused call, phone or video, where I work through exactly what's on your mind and get you to a clear, confident answer.
For when something isn't working and you need to understand why before you can fix it.
A Figure It Out session is dedicated diagnostic time, up to half a day ($500) or a full day ($900), spent actually examining what's going on. The goal isn't to do the work. It's to end with a clear, written picture of what the problem is, what's causing it, and what needs to happen next, so you're not spending money guessing.
Right Sized Services offers a half-day rate because not every diagnosis takes all day. If things become clear before the clock runs out, you're not paying for time you didn't need.
For when you know what needs doing and need someone to help do it.
This is execution, working alongside you or on your behalf to get something specific built, fixed, launched, or sorted out. The rate is structured so smaller projects stay approachable and larger ones don't get punishing.
If a Figure It Out session reveals work that needs doing, a Hands-On Project is the natural next step.
For when you want someone available on a regular basis but don't need them every day.
Four hours a month gives you a consistent resource to call on - for questions that come up, decisions you want a second opinion on, or small tasks that need handling. It's enough to stay ahead of things without committing to more than you need right now.
No long-term commitment. Start when you're ready.
For when four hours isn't quite enough but you're not ready for full coverage.
Eight hours a month gives you meaningful time to work through bigger questions, tackle small projects, and still have room for the things that come up unexpectedly. It's the right level for a business that's actively growing or going through change.
No contract required. Adjust up or down as your needs change.
For when you want someone genuinely in your corner every week.
Twenty hours a month means I'm a consistent presence in your business - available for strategy, execution, problem-solving, and anything else on your plate. At this level the relationship starts to feel less like a service and more like having an experienced person on your team without the overhead of a full-time hire.
No yearly commitment. If your situation changes, so can our agreement.
