Welcome
I’m Marie Leslie—a business consultant and messaging strategist who specializes in helping small businesses become more productive, more focused, and more successful.
Being a business owner can be amazing. It can also be messy. Feeling stuck and overwhelmed isn’t uncommon for a growing business, but you don’t have to stay that way. One of my strengths is thinking strategically. I can see where you are, and where you want to be, and I’m able to help you create the systems and the map that will get you there.
I’m a problem solver and an organizer from way back. I was the weird kid who loved logic puzzles and still do. Who knew they’d be my path to success in the business world?
