Testimonials

“My daughter introduced me to Cindy. I thought it would be a pleasant hour over coffee. I had no idea that my life was about to change dramatically. Literally within minutes, Cindy recognized that my small local business could be so much more. Over the next few months, she created and helped me develop an Internet marketing plan that transformed what was once just a daydream into a reality. Not only does Cindy have the professional skills, education and experience to expand whatever venture you’re working on, she also has exceptional intuitive abilities and a coaching style that makes you feel like absolutely anything is possible. She is never without ideas, resources and encouragement. She gave me my dream and changed the course of my life – again, within just months. I am still in awe.”

“When I learned about Cindy’s work with virtual assistants and solopreneurs, I just had to have her on my radio show, Color Your Life Happy, to share with my audience her wisdom on achieving success. Fortunately she agreed and created one of the favorite episodes.

In addition, Cindy wrote an invaluable program that helps small business owners and entrepreneurs identify and understand their ideal clients in order to successfully attract them.

Cindy is a competent, passionate and insightful mentor and coach who has earned my respect and hearty recommendation.”

“Working with Cindy has brought so many good things into my business, I’m not sure where to start! When I “found” Cindy, I was stuck in a rut. I had lost confidence in my skills and wasn’t sure who I wanted to work with or what to focus on in my practice. Now I have a whole new outlook; I understand who I am, who my ideal client is and, most importantly, why it’s imperative that I work exclusively with my ideal client from now on.

Cindy has a gentle, caring approach, with awesome listening and feedback skills. She has really helped me define what I want and how I can achieve it. She truly created a safe place for me to “let it all hang out” and held my hand as I explored the many possibilities of where to head next. Now that I know where that is, she’s helping me plan it out and get it done!

Lastly, I think what I most appreciate is how very gently she coached me out of a difficult situation that I was trapped in. Even though I knew the situation wasn’t good for me, I was reluctant to leave it. Throughout our coaching Cindy intuitively knew when to push and when to pull back. I never felt bullied or judged.

If you need a coach, you can’t go wrong with Cindy! “

“When I first contacted Cindy for coaching I was feeling very unmotivated with my business; I reached out to Cindy to help me out of the muck I was stuck in; I felt extremely blocked and needed help clarifying my goals, desires, and direction, to be held accountable and help to boost my confidence and self-esteem. Wow, did I get all that and more! I took the leap of faith and signed up for Cindy’s largest coaching package, the “Success Package”; it was the best decision I’ve made and the title doesn’t lie. At the end of our 12 sessions together I had accomplished all my goals, gained clarity and insight, identified my ideal client, and simply transformed my business. I am now taking my business to the next level with a complete website re-do, new clients and a new attitude!”

“Working with Cindy Hillsey is a real pleasure. She has helped me take my business from an idea to reality. We worked through Cindy’s process of finding my Ideal Client. Now that I know who my Ideal Client is, I can market to that client very easily.

“As a Virtual Assistant struggling to find balance in my life and business, coaching with Cindy Hillsey has been invaluable. She has helped me discover my strengths — what I love to do and what I don’t love to do — and plot a course of action towards the business of my dreams. And when I lose sight of the “forest for the trees,” Cindy never does. She holds my vision and keeps me moving forward toward my goals and dreams.

Cindy is a master at reframing things for me when I get stuck. She helps me focus on solutions, rather than problems. I often find myself saying “Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?” It’s great having someone on your side, who supports you so completely.

Cindy is non-judgmental and creates a safe place for honest discussion and exploration of ideas. She is caring, empathetic and supportive … but also holds me accountable and won’t hesitate to lovingly “kick my butt” when I need it. Cindy’s gift is knowing exactly when to use each of those techniques. “

“The path you have chosen suits you perfectly; you are great at helping others feel comfortable in not only thinking about owning a business but running it too. I know I always resisted those concepts, but you have made it a lot more fun, and manageable, for me to consider them … you are more than helping others, you are INSPIRING them to take steps out of their comfort zones.

I don’t believe it is about the process being simple; but it is about someone like you who turns those complicated, dense and overwhelming projects into simple, manageable and comprehensible steps. Your mentoring style creates great learning space that your clients can take with them and use in different areas of their lives.

Words cannot even begin to describe what I think of you as a person, a friend and as a professional who has a lot to offer to her clients as far as contribution and support goes … you are simply the BEST at what you do and a true partner to your clients and those around you. Your clients cannot help but to LOVE the whole you as I do, and I am sure those who know you already love and respect you tremendously.”
