The human side of business

Small Business

Wanna Get Busy (With Me)?

October 25, 2015 · By Amy Swift Crosby

WeMeanBusiness

We mean business. Do you?

The difference between working with you (a small business owner, talent, hired gun, solopreneur) is that you can move quickly and make decisions without committee. Many of the clients I write for and do brand strategy with cannot. They are heavier organisms – not light on their feet – what I do for them takes months to ultimately roll out into the world because they are multi-million dollar small businesses, or corporations. This is why I love working with you, who tend to be agile and ready to respond to information that moves your needle. I see change in what you do, and you see a change in your visibility, numbers, progress. It’s exciting. You can hustle.

Thanks for the love, you’re probably thinking, but so what? Well….I just finished three monster projects that had my schedule at capacity, but want to invite a few of you who need some spot consulting to reach out and book time. I’m here and ready to help for the next few weeks if you need it! Write me directly and tell me what you need. Let’s see what we can do in a big way before the end of 2015. Another option is to put a small group together of fellow business owners and set up some group privates, which is somewhat like FlashGroups and allows me / us to work on individual challenges for the benefit of the group. I don’t recommend more than six for this model. I will also be in Los Angeles the week of November 9th and will be setting up office hours if you’d rather do it in person.

 

Some nice changes are coming down the pike at SMARTY – can’t wait to share them with you!

About Me

Amy Swift Crosby is a brand strategist and copywriter who has positioned or voiced messaging across the commercial spectrum, from icons like Ford, BVLGARI, Pottery Barn, Pantene and Virgin, to boutique brands like The Wild Unknown, fitness franchise Barre3 and the rebrand of legendary metaphysical bookstore, Bodhi Tree. She has leveraged this expertise to help entrepreneurial women and small businesses owners hone their skills, mission and message, while uncovering their own “voice.” This blog explores “the human side of business,” and universal themes like uncertainty, anxiety, the tension between engagement and disconnection, personal value and most importantly, of finding - and hearing - our own voices in our everyday life.
