Congrats!
You have made the leap to Business owner but what’s next?
.
It’s time to shine some light on your own needs!
Regardless of whether you are in the first year of your business or year 5, it can be challenging to find time to nurture and grow your own business or to let someone else in behind the scenes.
I get it! It can also be overwhelming and it’s hard to know where to start especially if it’s not in your zone of genius. However, it’s important to recognize that sometimes we don’t have to do everything on our own and that our time and desires are just as important to honor as the proverbial bottom line.
That’s where I come in! Figuring out solutions to your business blocks IS my thing. I get excited about being able to develop strategies and plans for businesses and take the lead on projects.
I offer practical solutions to your needs and help you get clear on why things aren’t working and what you really desire in a system or team. Let me do the heavy lifting so that you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself! Together I am confident we can finally get your strategy completed!
What working with a business operations specialist can do for you!
Imagine if…
You wake up every morning knowing EXACTLY what you needed to accomplish that day and have time in your calendar to actually do it.
You can onboard new clients automatically while you are taking a morning walk or fitting in a workout
Your admin is outsourced and you feel confident that it is being executed by someone you trust
You have a comprehensive project plan for your dream project and find yourself excited even just staring at the tasks! You finally get to see how to get there and know that you don’t have to do it all yourself.
You have support and guidance to solve problems that come up. Ideas and options are presented to you about your business that you never have considered before and which can open up new streams of income or processes that make life so much easier.
Custom Solutions for your Business.
I recognize that every business owner is unique and therefore their needs can vary. However, I offer all of my clients the same reliable experience.
Working with me you can expect:
I will get to know you and your business. Whilst there may be standards or best practices in the industry that I will offer, I will never suggest tools or strategies based solely on my preferences or any affiliations I may have. I work hard to understand your industry and your values so that your business operates as a reflection of you as much as possible.
You will always have a choice. I aim to offer multiple options and directions for you to choose from. I will propose my recommendations but I am not here to tell you how to run your business.
I will provide clarity regarding deadlines and what is a reasonable amount of time to accomplish a project or launch a product/group program. I do my best to ensure that I set clear goals and expectations for a project and will take on full ownership of the results.
I will show up for you and your business. If I say that I will do something, I will aim to do it within the timeline required and ensure that if I can’t you will know about it and an alternative solution will be proposed. I work in a fully transparent way and will be forthcoming regarding issues as well as successes! I will also keep you accountable to your goals and tasks as well.
It will be fun! I love sharing gifs and making the processes as fun and creative as I possibly can. I will look for ways to make things pretty and practical.

What I bring to the table….
As a Manager & Operations wiz.
I’m Laura Pharo and I’ve created a multi-tier approach for solopreneurs/entrepreneurs to help manage the running of your business. With over 10 years of providing operations and logistics services, I’ve helped many organizations just like you leave the land of overwhelm and disorganization behind for good and find more clarity and flow in their life. I’ve led teams of 20+ in the pouring rain to make magic happen for Artists and I also helped coaches execute successful launches of group coaching programs increasing streams of income. I can make a positive and lasting impact on your business and your team.
What My Clients have to Say
Jenn Mansell // Certified Breathwork Facilitator & Somatic Coach
“When Laura and I started working together I was feeling very overwhelmed in my business having a beautiful flow of clients but not a lot of systems and structures in place to contain all the flow. I was working overtime and burning myself out trying to manage it all on my own. Constantly switching between serving my clients and then trying to manage all the back end. It was A LOT. Bringing Laura into my business to work alongside me has brought so much ease. She is meticulous with details and timelines and doesn't miss a beat. She keeps all our projects in motion and is incredible at managing me to get things done on time. She has created endless organization and structure that has helped my business double in revenue since we started and she has been integral in helping me launch new programs, offerings and expand my capacity to serve my clients in deeper ways. She often puts together retreats for us where we vision and set new business goals, which she leads on, and I find them SO helpful. Left to my own devices I am not sure I would ever get around to working ON my business in these ways and I find them incredibly clarifying and helpful to set us up for the next chapter of growth. I feel very held by Laura. The thing I love most about having Laura on my team is that she lives and breathes the work I do and the industry that I find myself in. She is dedicated to her personal growth and wellness and thus brings such great insight and wisdom into our conversations around the business. She understands the customer and I find that so helpful”
Bridget Love Founder Care/Of
“After pivoting to virtual events and workshops when COVID-19 hit, my business suddenly exploded due to the need for virtual solutions for the 2020 holiday season. As if overnight, I had over 17 large client projects to manage and only 6 weeks of preparation time. Additionally, we were facing an entirely new set of logistics and project coordination due to the COVID-19 lockdown and the shift to virtual events. Laura jumped in and implemented project management systems and creative strategies that helped us successfully complete the holiday season with glowing reviews from our clients. I relied on Laura to figure out (very quickly!) how to best organize and execute our large contracts. I couldn't have done it without her! Together we executed over 17 large client event contracts with 600+ participants and over 531 ingredient boxes prepared, packed, and delivered across Canada. She was my secret weapon. Laura isn't afraid to roll up her sleeves and get into the thick of it. She's able to create process and order from the chaos of your brain and desktop of files. .”
