"I came to Susan through a friend's recommendation. I was at a crossroads in my writing career and feeling very stuck about what to do next. Working with Susan, I was able to untangle the various career goals that I had and devise a clear and concise plan of attack for how to reach them. I am happy to say that the first of my goals: a new solo play enjoyed a very successful eight month run in Los Angeles where it was recently selected as one of the top five solo productions in LA for 2012. I am now working on my second goal - completing my book and feel very empowered by her coaching, care and direction. Her care, expertise and ability to help me consruct a game plan has played a major part in reaching my goals and I only wish I had met with her sooner."

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I truly couldn't have done it without you. I'm forever grateful for your unwavering belief, guidance, and perseverance. You have boundless enthusiasm for entrepreneurs everywhere. I am grateful every day that you came into my life.
Before working with Susan I had been trying for 2 years to figure out the "something" that could be my passionate work. I'd read books, done the assignments, kept a journal...but was still unsure about what my true calling might be. Susan took the time to let the Discovery Phase unfold and keep me accountable every step of the way. Then when we had to revisit the Discovery Phase a 2nd time, she stayed with me and in the end I have found exactly what I know is my meaningful work. I can feel it and taste it and I'm so excited! If you are struggling to find your "escape" or if you want the practical skills to start and grow your own entrepreneurial online business, look no further! You've found your way to Susan for a reason.

Susan does what she does extremely well. I have been spinning my wheels for quite a while, jumping from one thing of interest to another. I just couldn't stay focused on one thing long enough to move forward and before my session with Susan I didn't know what we could possibly come up with in a 90 minute Idea Exploration™ when I have worked so hard for so long on what I "want to be when I grow up", and was absolutely, positively still not sure.
After doing the exercises Susan gave me, and working with her on the phone for that 90 minutes, I feel like I have finally stopped spinning and can focus on one thing - and its something I think I'm really going to enjoy! I am so thankful to Susan for that. Her style of consulting/coaching and pace are great; everything flowed and I really learned a lot in a short period of time.

"Meeting Susan came at the perfect moment and helped me define a dream and find a passion I didn't even know I had. It still amazes me how much I love the jewelry making - everything about it - from the findings on line to creating a piece of art and my passion seems to grow every day. My work with Susan also kept me focused, made me accountable and added a whole other level of fun! I will often remember the mornings we spent together. Now here I sit, after my move to the mountains, looking at the snow capped peaks and realizing that dreams do come true when we have faith in the possibilities and open ourselves up to their actualization."

"I was flailing around like a fish out of water...until I booked a session with Susan at Escape Hatcher. Susan guided me through a series of spot-on exercises until a light bulb went off in my head. I discovered how to hone in on a freelance writing career that makes the most of my talents and never feels like work!

"Susan's questions and exercises for me were exciting, soul searching and fun! I wanted to work and use my talents so that I would have both active and passive income streams. Susan has a way of seeing the possibilities of doing this! I am finally doing what I was meant to do!"

"With Susan's passion for life and passion for people, it's no surprise her business is helping people hatch their own passions to create viable revenue streams. Within a half hour, Susan had pulled a business idea and name out of me. By the end of the session I was ready to plan a website, devise a marketing plan - open the hatch! Henry David Thoreau once said "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." Susan has both the imagination to see all the possibilities on the horizon, as well as the knowledge to put together a realistic plan to bring them to fruition -- making the impossibles - probables."

"I finally have hope again and I really do believe it's possible with your action-oriented approach. You've really done a service for me. I can't thank you enough. People like me really need you and a program like this. It's difficult being creative and knowing how to make that work for you. I'm not a person that can do something I'm passionless about and you've finally given me a path to go down so I can achieve my dreams. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!"

Until I worked with Susan, I had never believed I was the type to consider starting my own business. With her enthusiastic support and reasonable approach, I have begun to explore this possibility. Susan has helped me sort out and organize the areas of my life that have kept me feeling overwhelmed and stuck. I am still a work in progress, but I feel with Susan's patient, personable guidance I will get where I want to go.

I have to thank Susan for taking so much time to research and come up with ideas based on our consultation. What I found particularly helpful was her follow up email which detailed a plan and positive tips -- like allowing myself to be in learning mode. That is very important for me. I've only just started this journey and I need more time to work out exactly what I have a passion for, but now I have hope!
