Business Mentoring with Krysta
For the past 36 years Krysta has worked in a wide variety of businesses and has owned several small businesses. She has managed a corporation with an annual income of over $3.5 million and 55 employees as well as having been the executive director of a not-for-profit senior center with a staff of seven. Her experience covers all aspects of business, including managing employees, writing budgets and grants, starting businesses from scratch with little resources, operations, and even selling a business.
To learn more about her experience, read her memoir: Anything is Possible – How a former nun counseled drug addicts worked in machine shops, survived a serial killer, became a spiritual teacher and publisher – and what this mean for YOU!
The consulting Krysta does is based on her own experience as well as what she has learned from working with hundreds of holistically-oriented service providers, her education, as well as on spiritual principles. When you consult with Krysta she is as likely to talk about your personal issues as she is those of your business since they are frequently intertwined.
She consults over the telephone or by Skype or Facetime.
Fee: $125 per hour

Would you like to be inspired and have greater clarity about your life and business?
Do you currently give your gifts through some sort of practice or small business – or want to? Are you struggling to make it work for you? Is it working but not to the degree you would like? Do you feel everything could be better but you’re not sure how to go about it? Or would you like some support from someone who has walked and is walking this road?
If you can answer yes to any of these, my business mentoring program is for you!
5-Week Business Mentoring Program
Weekly, for five weeks, you will meet with me over the telephone or via Skype or Facetime for one hour. Your program will be customized to meet your specific needs but it can include any of the following:
- Defining your vision, goals, purpose
- Developing a plan for your business and/or evaluating the one you have
- Developing the spiritual basis for your business?
- Marketing evaluation and planning
- Social media and blogging – to do or not to do?
- Evaluating your website and other marketing materials
- Developing resources
- Dealing with blockages to your success
- Learning new techniques
- Dealing with money issues
During the five weeks, you will also have additional access to me via email or telephone should you require help during the week. There will be homework assignments and you will need to be committed to this process. Due to the intense nature of this program, a limited number of clients will be enrolled at any given time.
This program is for people who are committed to giving their gifts and service to others. This is for people who are living in their hearts and souls and who know their business is their spiritual destiny and who want some support in being the best they can at what they do.
Here are some commonly asked questions about this program
Question: When does the class begin?
Answer: This is not a class of several people. It is a one-to-one program. We begin when you’re ready and I have an opening. Then we meet over the phone, Skype, or Facetime and email for five consecutive weeks.
Question: What do we do in the sessions?
Answer: The series of sessions is built around your needs and it is different for each person. This is an individualized, unique program, not something pre-designed. It is completely based on you, where you are at with your business, and what you are trying to achieve.
Question: How does this differ from regular business coaching? What makes it “spiritual?” What if I own a coffee shop, bakery, or pet store?
Answer: The people I work with have all kinds of businesses. It is not the type of business you have – it is the place you are coming from. Not all business mentors understand a client when they talk about some of the spiritual issues related to business. I do.
I understand and support how your business fits in to your overall spiritual journey. My clients are relieved that they can speak openly about their spiritual path and processes without having to explain themselves.
Question: Can you guarantee results?
Answer: That depends on what you mean by results! I can guarantee that we will deal with issues related to your business. We will work with your marketing and other structures. I will give you many ideas. However, just like when you go to the gym, it will be up to you to follow-through and implement what we discuss. This is why the program is five weeks long – it gives you enough time to actually make some changes and plans that will serve you better then what you are currently doing.
Question: What can I expect from the program?
Answer: If you fully engage this process, you can expect to have greater clarity, direction, and success in your business. You can expect to have gained some skills in the areas of planning, marketing, combining your spirituality with your business-life, working through blockages, having a greater success-orientation, and know how to better access resources you might need. You should feel greater confidence in yourself as a businessperson who is also on their spiritual journey. You can expect to see your business grow and prosper beyond what it is currently – or you can expect to move into a different set of circumstances.
What you cannot expect from this program:
There are no promises that you will suddenly grow your business two, three or four times what it is today – although that could happen, and I would hope it would happen, as you move forward. It takes smart, conscientious, focused work in and on your business and yourself in order to succeed. Although you will be given tools and taught how to use them, it will be up to you to apply what you learn and make it work for you. This is one of the reasons this program lasts five weeks. That gives you enough time to actually begin to apply what you’re learning and begin to see results.
Question: How much does it cost?
Answer: The cost for the five weeks is $800, due when you sign-up. This includes the five hour-long sessions as well as access to me in between sessions while you are doing the various homework assignments we both agree you’ll do during the week. I take checks, PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover.
Question: What sort of schedule will we have?
You and I meet weekly via the telephone or Skype for one hour. During the week, you may email or call me for additional support. There will be homework. During this five-week period, you will need to be committed to the process of being mentored. If you feel you need further support after the formal program is over, individual sessions can be arranged at my usual consulting fee.
Question: What if I can’t complete the program in the five-weeks?
If for some reason you cannot continue the program, the unused portion of the payment can be applied towards future consultations. Should this occur, we will come to a mutually agreeable arrangement. It is hoped, however, that once you embark on this journey you will make every effort to complete it in the five-week period of time.

Krysta, the hour I spent with you exploring marketing options for my Reiki practice is one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my business. In rapid-fire order, you gave me concrete suggestions for a marketing plan that is specific to my interests and talents and therefore something I am excited about implementing. Thank you for this and for the work you do in the world!

My business consultation with Krysta is by far the best hour I have spent with any expert during my entire three-year business life! In addition to it providing confirmation of conclusions I had recently come to myself, it provided me with a clear pathway for taking my next steps. Krysta even revealed new business opportunities that I never would have considered exploring on my own. The information was practical and, most importantly, actionable. I’m excited to execute on these insights to create greater ease and success as I take my business to the next level.

“I have taken two workshops with Krysta after following her newsletter for over a year, and being impressed by her articles. I found both workshops (Stewarding your Business & Marketing Bootcamp) to be extremely helpful. I followed up with some very helpful business coaching as I wanted her input on some specific issues. I have been in business for about 10 years and found her advice and suggestions to be very grounded and helpful indeed. My business has been by word of mouth, and I wanted good strategies to take it to the next level. Her wealth of knowledge and experience coupled with her innate wisdom are huge gifts to me as a business owner. The marketing bootcamp was beautifully organized. It took the participants through a step by step process that was very carefully thought through and thorough, and made the prospect of marketing feel exciting instead of overwhelming. I look forward to more workshops and coaching in the future. She is a great gift to the business community.”

“I very much enjoyed attending your Marketing Boot Camp workshop last Saturday. Just as advertised, I left with a plan. You were so right, I had marketing whiplash and it seemed so overwhelming. Where to put the effort and the dollars? I feel so much more calm about it now, and able to work my plan and evaluate options. I am just about to begin my Press Release and I’m excited about it!
I appreciate all your tricks and tips. I loved that the workshop was filled with ‘meat’ and practical knowledge that could be put to use immediately. It was a jammed packed two hours of value – and fun.
Thank you Krysta. I will keep you updated on my results. Warm regards.”
