The Sakti Effect, Action and Momentum, Sustaining Partnership

“I’m building, and need a thought partner”

this is where i shift from guide to interim partner—stepping into your business to help you build systems, manage daily challenges, and implement the structures that let you focus on your core client work instead of getting stuck in the business side. we work through real-time issues together—negotiations, proposals, strategic calls, operational snags—refining your approach as you learn what works in practice. i'm here to support the backend that sustains your practice, with no expectation or stake in your business beyond seeing you succeed, so that when our work together ends, you know exactly how to keep the momentum going.

you leave with: working systems you can maintain, operational muscle memory that keeps you moving, and freedom from the administrative weight that bogs down so many solo practitioners.

what's included: weekly strategy sessions, asynchronous support between sessions, operational systems building and implementation, hands-on guidance with client relationships and business decisions, sustainability infrastructure. contract-based partnership and pricing tailored to scop.
