Seeing my operation through Myra’s eyes was… absolutely what we needed. There were many disconnects inside our operations from systems to employee understanding to marketing. I have an MBA and came up through the ranks so to speak. I’ve been so busy working “in the business,” as she says, that I lost perspective and didn’t make time to work “on the business”. I made excuses about being too busy. Now I see that I was chasing my own tail. She’s been invaluable to us.

I first had the pleasure of working with Myra when she served as Lead Business Strategist for my previous employer. She played a critical role in helping our small grassroots team evolve into a focused and legitimate organization, that more than doubled in size during her tenure. Myra established the foundation of the company’s HR, Payroll, Accounting, Client Contracts, and team structure while recruiting and on‑boarding new team members and serving as the business’s guiding beacon. With Myra’s assistance and expertise, the business soon became a more efficient, legally compliant, and strategic organization with a focused path toward financial and operational success!
Myra’s strategic approach to business organization and team mentorship is a very hands‑on, personal, and “people‑focused” process. She is extremely well‑versed in creating and executing custom‑tailored business strategies in all areas of company operations. Her invaluable expertise in crafting scalable business plans and organization structures that are customized to the business and its team allows her to help build a streamlined and well‑oiled machine for any successful business from the ground up! I wholeheartedly recommend Myra Spence to any business or individual needing a “no‑nonsense” yet personable “business wing woman!” She will quickly prove the value, expertise, and guidance she can bring to the business endeavors of any growing organization, aspiring career professional, or budding entrepreneur!

She sees all the pieces and how they should fit together.

Myra has encouraged me to confront and shed hidden inherited beliefs. She has challenged me to qualify advice and think more critically in this age of advice inundation. The personal growth I have experienced has been immense, not to mention the business acumen I have gained.

It’s not about working hard. It’s about understanding the balance of each part of the business, and then in executing them according to the tried and true principles. Expertise makes all the difference. I wish I had known this 20 years earlier.

We weren’t broken, and that was the hard part to explain. Revenue was up two years running and I still felt like I was holding the whole thing together by hand. Myra mapped what actually happened when an order came in and showed me how many decisions routed back through me before anything could move. We rebuilt it so they didn’t. I make fewer decisions now, and better ones.

I brought Myra in during a leadership transition expecting a plan. What I got was a sequence: what to fix first, what to leave alone, and why. She was direct about which of my instincts were still carrying the business and which ones were now in its way. That was uncomfortable and it was correct. Six months on, the structure is still holding.
