Struggling financially, Ann started looking for ways to make additional money to help her family. With only one family vehicle and living outside of a small town, there was minimal opportunity for employment. This was the beginning of her entrepreneurial journey.She began her first business designing and making soft cloth dolls which became a global doll and pattern company, and she was honored to have her unique dolls selected to be featured on the cover of an international magazine. Upon selling that business, she went on to start four new businesses (two health clubs, two weight loss & nutrition centers), which she eventually sold as she began her existing consulting/coaching business.Working as a consultant for herself since 2010, she has helped hundreds of business owners grow and scale their businesses in more than thirty-eight different types of industries.
