Small Business Coach:
Build a Business You Love Without the Burnout
You built something real. The right coach helps you scale it, lead it, and actually enjoy it again.
Sharon Lee is a certified small business coach helping entrepreneurs start, grow, and lead their businesses with clarity, strategy, and real confidence. With 32 years of entrepreneurial experience and 14 years of coaching small business owners nationwide, Sharon brings a perspective most coaches simply cannot offer -- she has built businesses herself, from the ground up, and she knows exactly what it takes to create one that works without consuming your entire life.
What Does a Small Business Coach Actually Do?
How Business Coaching Differs From Consulting
A small business coach is not a consultant who hands you a framework and disappears. A great coach works alongside you -- helping you identify what is actually holding your business back, get clear on where you want to go, and build a practical plan to get there while addressing the mindset blocks that quietly sabotage even the best strategies.
The difference matters. A consultant tells you what to do. A coach helps you become the kind of business owner who knows how to figure it out -- and who has the confidence to execute even when it is uncomfortable.
Who Sharon Lee Works With as a Small Business Coach
Entrepreneurs, Startups, and Small Business Owners Ready to Grow
Sharon works with small business owners who are done spinning their wheels. Whether you are just starting out and need a real plan, stuck in the middle and unsure why growth has stalled, or scaling and feeling overwhelmed by everything that comes with it -- this is where you belong.
With 32 years of entrepreneurial experience across multiple industries, Sharon understands what it actually feels like to run a business, not just observe one. That lived experience is what makes her coaching different.
Startup Founders
You have the idea and the drive. You need a structure, a plan, and someone who can help you avoid the mistakes that cost most new businesses their first two years.
Growth-Stage Owners
Revenue is coming in but something has stalled. You are working harder than ever and not moving forward. The issue is rarely strategy -- it is usually the mindset running underneath it.
Women Entrepreneurs
Building a business on your own terms requires a coach who understands the unique pressures, the confidence gaps, and the extraordinary potential women bring to entrepreneurship.
Burned-Out Business Owners
You built something but it is running you instead of the other way around. There is a path back to loving what you do -- without blowing up what you built to find it.

What Type of Small Business Coach Is Sharon?
The Whole Model Approach -- Strategy and the Whole Person Together
There are several coaching styles you will encounter as you look for the right small business coach. Understanding the differences helps you make a better decision.
Holistic Coaching
Provides psychological and emotional support alongside business development. Addresses the whole person, not just the business metrics.
Democratic Coaching
The coach takes a participatory role in decision-making, focusing on the individual's strengths and weaknesses to build an improvement plan.
Autocratic Coaching
The coach has full control over the process, structure, and outcomes. Highly directive and structured with clear boundaries around sessions.
Whole Model Coaching
Addresses mindset blocks, business strategy, and personal routines together -- because making money matters AND so does the life you are building around it. This is the approach that creates lasting change.

Answered directly, without the fluff.
Any business owner who has doubts about their direction, feels stuck despite working hard, or wants to see meaningful improvement in their business -- or their life as a business owner -- can benefit from coaching. You do not need to be in crisis to work with a coach. Many of the most successful entrepreneurs have coaches specifically because they are serious about reaching the next level, not because something is falling apart.
A consultant diagnoses your business and hands you recommendations. A coach works alongside you over time, helping you build the skills, mindset, and confidence to make better decisions consistently. Sharon's approach combines both -- bringing strategic insight AND the coaching relationship that holds you accountable and addresses the internal blocks that derail even great strategies.
Start by booking a free 30-minute Breakthrough Call at tidycal.com/fearlesspursuits/coachingconsult. This is a genuine conversation -- not a sales script. You will share where your business is and what you want to change, and Sharon will be honest about whether coaching is the right fit and what working together would look like. If you are ready to move forward, you can also book a private coaching bundle directly at fearlesspursuits.com/private-coaching-bundle-4-sessions/.
Coaching prepares you to handle the inevitable stresses and decisions of running a business with more clarity and confidence. It identifies the specific patterns -- in your thinking, your habits, and your strategy -- that are limiting your results, and replaces them with ones that actually serve your growth. Most clients describe it as the first time they have had genuine structure, honest feedback, and a real plan working together at the same time.
Ask yourself: Am I happy with where my business is heading? Do I have a clear plan for the next 12 months? Is my business giving me the life I wanted when I started it? If any of those answers is no -- or uncertain -- a coach can help. The free Breakthrough Call is the best first step. You will know within the first 15 minutes whether the conversation is valuable.
Yes. All coaching sessions are conducted privately via Zoom, which means Sharon works with small business owners across the United States and internationally. Location is never a barrier. Many of her clients are in cities across the country who found her through a search and chose to work with her specifically because of her unique combination of entrepreneurial experience and coaching credentials.
