Services for Creative Entrepreneurs | Creative-Chaos-Into-Rocket-Fuel Advising & Implementation Services

After seeing how Marissa helped other entrepreneurs, I saw that she might be able to help me, too. There were a batch of things that I was doing that someone with the smarts, skills, and heart could do to help me focus on those things that only I could do.

What’s especially helpful is her ability to create a system and process that makes working with each other much smoother. Now, when a new Important Thing To Do pops up, the first thing I do is talk about it with Marissa, since she can often take 80% of the work to do that thing off my plate by either doing it for me or coming up with a way that we can do it together.

As your business grows, there will always be new Important Things To Do, and they will outpace your capacity to do them. Having Marissa on my team has made the difference being constrained against keeping up and me being able to handle the right opportunities as they came up. Were it not for Marissa, I would have buckled under my business’s growth.

While her “formal” services would easily be enough to justify hiring her, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that she’s just plain fun to work with. She’s a brilliant brainstormer and excellent sounding board, and being able to explain what I’m trying to do to someone who gets me and supports my work has been amazingly valuable to me.

If you’ve got your hands full with great work and need a team member that will help you have fun and focus on your unique abilities, hire Marissa today. She’s absolutely indispensable.

There is absolutely no one in the world with Marissa Bracke’s caliber of savvy organizational mojo and utter on-top-of-it-ness — and boy oh boy, have I looked. It’s almost impossible for me to write this testimonial without a few readers thinking I’m full of shit — because ridiculously, she’s just that good.

Marissa’s natural ability to tie up any and all loose threads on a project is amazing. I honestly can’t think of a smarter hire for any business under the sun (or on the web). She has approached each one of our interactions with such obvious care and attention that it’s clear to me our projects mattered to her — and that was before I realized that she was purposefully putting systems in place that would work with or without her presence.

It has been an enormous pleasure to get to work with her. She’s ruined me for virtual assistants everywhere. Don’t bother looking for another Marissa. Just hire Marissa.

In one phone call, I came to Marissa with about twenty different questions and she helped me think through all of them in a really strategic way. She’s helped me strategize about how to run my business optimally, so that I’m focusing on the work that brings the highest value to my business and delegating other work to someone else. The questions she asked completely reoriented my thinking about my priorities and what work I really wanted to be doing.

I know when I call Marissa I can count on having a great strategy session, whether she’s brainstorming with me about upcoming products, helping me figure out where I can create systems or pointing me to useful resources. Working with Marissa helps my business and my life flow a little easier.

When I first bumped into Marissa’s consultation services, I wasn’t sure whether it was worth it or not to spend the money. Could one hour really make that big of a difference?

Well, I took the plunge, and the answer is a definitive yes. I came to Marissa with a cloud of confusion, and she helped me turn that into clarity. I don’t know about you, but clarity allows me to take massive action, so the session has paid for itself many times over.

Sometimes it takes someone else to point out the good and the bad, and that is what Marissa helped me do. I recommend you chat with Marissa if you feel like you have all the ideas in the world, but nothing is happening.

In the end I guess it all comes down to: would I hire Marissa again? Heck yeah!

I find delegation challenging, but I’m so glad when I overcome it to engage Marissa’s help.

With Marissa on task I’m totally comfortable knowing that she’ll deliver what I ask for (and often more). As a result I have expanded mental space for creative work and more freedom in my business.

I am evolving my business and it’s a big task. Sometimes you just need help from someone who’s been there, has the contacts and is in the know. Marissa calmed me down and gave me clarity where there was none before.

I came off the call with Marissa feeling like I knew what to do. Make no mistake: no one is going to do the hard work for you, but it is so much easier when you have a coach who knows what she is talking about. I took notes a plenty during our call and I am referring to them as I put into place her slick strategies for expanding and moving my business forward.

Calm, steady, compassionate and wise are a few of the words I would use to describe Marissa. When the world seems like it is falling apart around your feet, there is one lady to call: Marissa Bracke. I’ll be contacting her again for more advice in the next few months.

I have to say, I wasn’t looking forward to filling out the Jumpstart Questionnaire. But I’m so glad I did! While I was working on it, I had breakthroughs on three issues I was struggling with. That alone was worth the price of the sessions, all before we ever got on the phone!

Marissa is a joy and a pleasure to work with.

I needed Marissa’s help right at a time when I was struggling with my inbox and the busy-ness of my business. Marissa was like a shining inbox-fairy angel. With little introduction, she was able to manage all my correspondence and free up my time to focus on the creative part of my business AND my new family.

Marissa has a knack for fitting seamlessly into the energy of your business — I felt so confident that my clients were being taken care of in the joyful goddess way I intended. I’d recommend Marissa unreservedly and unconditionally, and will be using her in the future whenever I need a can-do-ologist, kind helper & inbox genie.

Before we even began our sessions, working through the questions in Marissa’s Jumpstart Questionnaire got my juices flowing and helped me to see the scope of my life as a creative entrepreneur with fresh eyes. Consequently, our work together began with me in an empowered and clear space.

The “stuckness” we addressed in our sessions allowed me to identify (minus feelings of overwhelm and confusion) what needed to be done and, more importantly, in what order. The way Marissa held me accountable in a friendly yet firm way had me making enthusiastic, visible progress!
