As Seen In...

Michela Quilici, Your Business Navigator

My vision is to influence one million women in business to own their voice and spread their message, so they can be seen & heard and increase their influence, income and impact, while transforming the lives of their clients, communities and the world.

My mission is to help empower business owners and leaders to firstly, lead themselves, then to become more of who they are, so they can create success for themselves in all areas of life.

In my work and in my life, I am driven by my core values of growth, leadership, purpose, freedom, and authenticity.

“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can help you adjust your sails, to always reach your destination.”

Grow your business with purpose

I am an experienced business growth coach and award-winning marketing strategist who helps service-based entrepreneurs and small business owners like you, to grow your business strategically, market yourself authentically, and create better and faster results than if you were to do it alone. I provide you with a proven business-building roadmap and a compass to help you successfully navigate from where you are now to where you want to go, with greater clarity in purpose, direction and action. While simultaneously supporting you to translate your uniqueness in a compelling way so you can stand in your value, be seen, be heard and influence your audience.

When you work with me, you will immediately feel that I create a safe space for you to take off your super(wo)man cape and show up as yourself, so we can have real conversations about what’s holding you back from stepping into the best version of yourself. You will also experience my deep listening, full presence and authenticity, which ignites transformative personal and professional growth, as I call you forward to step out of the background and into the spotlight to create a life and business you love, on purpose – while staying true to who you are.

Bridging the gap to your next level of success

I utilize my unique sensitivities and key abilities of awareness, facilitation and authentic leadership to help you bridge the gap to your next level of success. I have 20+ years of business training and real world experience working with some of Canada’s fastest growing entrepreneurially-minded companies; from start-up to $20M + and have contributed to guiding businesses in their overall direction, developed and supported the implementation of winning marketing and sales conversion strategies, resulting in exponential revenue growth and increased client acquisition year-over-year.

As a successful entrepreneur, I have worked with hundreds of business owners to help them get focused on the marketing and business development activities that impact their bottom line and generate results. I use a proven roadmap to guide you to build a profitable and sustainable business. My specialty is fast-tracking start-ups to 6-figures, and guiding 6-figures to 7-figures, with an expertise in various business models.

Your proven roadmap

Let my experience, wisdom and deep insight be your guide. You will appreciate how my ‘eagle eyes’ and crazy superpower in business diagnostics will help you distinguish the symptoms from the underlying issues, and pinpoint results-focused solutions. I have been told that I have a gift for seeing the bigger picture, focusing my clients on the most effective actionable next steps toward their business goals. And my capabilities as a strategic powerhouse can help you reverse engineer exactly what you need to do, in order to take your business from where it is now to where you want it to go. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. If you’re stuck, I know the way out. I will help you change your focus, so you get results much faster.

Succeeding against the odds

I walk the talk, because I’ve been there, personally. I have multiple successful businesses and had one colossal failure. I have received industry-recognition for my strategies and performance-based awards for my actions, and I’ve overcome some serious personal challenges to succeed against the odds. I have some wildly successful teachers and crazy smart mentors who give me access to the success secrets of multi-millionaires. I have made tons of mistakes, and invested tens-of-thousands of dollars on training and coaching to learn from the best. I have personally walked through the trenches of most business scenarios from start up to exit, from bootstrapping it to being well funded, from family-business to Corporate, from brick-and-mortar to online, and more.

Re-inventing the wheel is costly and not knowing the steps can be scary and quite honestly, risky. My work is rooted in business building fundamentals (taught in business school) including business strategy, marketing, sales and systems, plus coaching, psychology, spirituality, metaphysics and my life-long journey of personal growth (which has allowed me to overcome deep emotional and psychological traumas and to gain the spiritual awareness to help me transmute these things into ongoing strengths). I even integrate some of the principles I learned from my professional flamenco dance training into my work. I continue to call myself forward to further step into my voice, own my life and succeed against any odds. My purpose is to inspire others to do the same.

Committed to your success

My work allows me to wear many hats. I’m your biggest champion and your go-to marketing expert, your business coach, your sounding board, your accountability partner, your mentor, and your velvet-gloved taskmaster. I’m committed to investing my time and expertise in your business if you are motivated to stop tolerating the business you have, and start creating the one you want and are meant to have. I believe you’ve got what it takes to make it happen.

I believe that change is inevitable and there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. The measurement of success is progress, not perfection. You are not broken and you already have the resources within you to be successful. And most importantly, you can learn to do what must be done and become who you must become to achieve your dreams.

Who I Work With

CEOs ($1M+) You are at or near profitability and established traction. Founding owners/team is working “in” the business. You need an effective marketing strategy tied to business model/goals. You want to increase brand awareness with an effective lead generation process for pipeline build. You have stagnant opportunities in the pipeline or low conversion rates, marketing ROI. We demonstrate tangible value in having a full-service outsourced marketing and sales leadership team implement defined strategy, build process, and manage the execution of revenue growth. This results in a shorter sales cycle, lower customer acquisition cost, and increased revenue.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS (<20 employees) You have a proven business model and it’s time to increase productivity and profitability. You want to take your company to the next level of growth, but you’re stuck in the day-to-day operations and can’t see the forest for the trees. You want a plan, focus, and accountability to accelerate business growth.

SERVICE PROFESSIONALS (Coaches, Consultants, Experts, Speakers, Trainers) You have survived the start-up phase and are ready to ramp-up your business to 6-figures+ with much less effort. You want to gain more exposure, magnetize more of the right clients, and be guided by a strategic business growth plan.
