You're Ready for your Next Level
I work with business owners who have built successful businesses but are ready for their breakthrough.
I've run profitable (non coaching!) businesses for 15 years and I'm a highly trained coach. I'm the real deal.
You don't actually need more strategy. If I asked you what strategy you should really be implementing, you could probably tell me. But you haven't done it yet. Why?
The Truth:
Strategy + Inner Work
I know you're ready for your business to break through to the next level (if you weren't, you wouldn't be here).
And you know you're ready too. You may have taken all the courses, or even worked with coaches who gave you endless action items. But something is still holding you back, and after years of coaching and lots of training, I know what it is.
It's the inner work.
You need to slow down to speed up. It's time to untangle yourself from your blocks once and for all so you can move forward.
And You don't have to do it alone.
And I'm here to help you Work on Strategy (and your spirit)
I've spent most of my life as queen of grinding and full speed ahead. But now I'm here to help you slow down, find peace, and finally break through to your next level.
How did I make the transition?
I started coaching and teaching women about entrepreneurship shortly after I started my online publishing business in 2008, in 2020 when the world screeched to a halt, I started doing business coaching more full time.
I loved working with female business owners one on one. I was great at working with my clients to figure strategy adjustments. I loved my clients. I love a business model, a budget, SEO, and a marketing plan. But I slowly figured out something was missing.
Hi, I'm Meg Keene
We'd figure out what strategic moved they needed to make, and months later they'd still be looping in inaction.
My clients are amazing. It was clear to me that it wasn't laziness, lack of ambition, lack of willpower, or any of the terrible things they said to themselves keeping them from moving forward. It was something else, and I was determined to figure out what it was.
I was so dedicated to figuring out this problem that I signed up for a year long intensive program with the Institute Of Coaching Mastery, and then I decided to become a Trauma Informed Care Practitioner to round out my education. And after a months of intensive training, and doing my own work, I started to put the pieces together.
Here is what I learned: if we have subconscious fears around our own success or visibility, we will sabotage ourselves. If we don't think we're worthy of building our big vision, we will make sure it doesn't happen.
Our brains want nothing more then to keep us safe. And until we do the inner work to heal our wounds, and make our nervous system feel safe, all the strategy in the world won't help us.
My clients were getting stuck.
The strategic work is so important. But unless you pair it with the deep inner work, you'll keep running up against the same Obstacles.
I will literally talk business to anyone anywhere anytime.
Coaching is my happy place
The truth is, We're not meant to do any of this on our own.
I believe in the power of women and community. Of sharing our stories and our wisdom. In both healing wounds and building empires together.

With Business BFF, I become...
Unlike a more traditional coaching model, Business BFF lets me fully climb inside my client's business, and support them every step of the way. (Because TBH, once I get my hands dirty, it's very hard for me to say "well it's just two hours a month" and stop.)
When I'm your business coach, I'm in your corner. I will consistently call you forward to do the work, to grow. I'll ask you to show up for yourself, so that you can show up for your business. We'll figure out what's really holding you back, clear the blocks, and then apply strategy that lets you have a business and a life you love.
With Business BFF, we start with you doing a business self-audit, I go through every single word you wrote, find those lightbulb moments, and then we spend 90 minutes truly unpacking the state of your business together.
From there it's homework, worksheets, questions, and me on Voxer whenever you have a question. (And yes, homework has included "write a Yiddish curse on your chai cup," but that's how we get it done.)
Twice a month we meet 1:1 to dig into every corner of your business, with the goal of maximizing your cash, freedom, and joy.
You get me in your pocket on Voxer, a voice messaging app, Mon-Thurs. We'll strategize, prioritize, and keep that momentum going.
For the moments where you need to get on the phone and have me support you so you can make a hard call, or get clear on a decision.
Obviously we are all adults here and this should go without saying, but let's say it anyway, because it's important. There are no guarantees in any business program. Past performance is not indicative of future results. And really MOST important: what every business needs is different, and the goal of 1:1 business coaching is to be able to meet your particular needs, not to force you into someone else's version of success.
While the inner work is vital, let's talk about the outer work. The amazing thing about 1:1 coaching is that unlike a course or a group coaching program, there is not a set syllabus for us to follow. We work on what you and your business needs, in whatever order makes sense. That said, here are some exercises that we often do:
Meg is a powerhouse of entrepreneurial insight, experience, and forward momentum, and working with her has made a big difference in my ability to successfully run and grow my business.
"In Business BFF, Meg has helped me go from wondering whether my current business model was still serving me, to launching a completely new program in 3 months flat."

Real Business BFF Results
Working with Meg helped me organize my business structurally, physically, and mentally. Meg was supportive and validating, and able to see the forest for the trees. More importantly, she encouraged me to think like a business owner instead of an employee.
"I saw a 50% increase in revenue from Q4 and a 38% increase in items sold, and am on track to double my revenue year to year. I also was able to hire two employees during this time."
Hannah
She has the right balance of hype woman + not-gonna-lie-to-you BFF that I need when I'm making big moves. Plus she backs all of it up with lived experience + work credentials.
"I'm at a transitional point in my business and Meg has been such a valuable partner to have alongside me during this transition."

You don't have to wait till you have it all together to start
There is a philosophy in coaching that you should show up for your clients as a perfect seeming human, so that when you tell your clients they're amazing, they'll believe you.
But I'm not interested—or frankly any good at—coaching from the mountaintop, and I'm physically incapable of bullshitting you anyway. So if you want that kind of coach, I'm not it. (But I am going to tell you that you're amazing, and you should believe me.)
So, if you want someone who understands you might have to change your scheduled appointment once (or more than once) when something comes up, I'm your girl.
We're in this together. We're all a little bit of a mess. And we can still make amazing things happen.

Meg is a tenacious, creative, fun, insightful business bestie who always makes me feel like my business and I are a top priority. The joy and enthusiasm she brings to our 1:1 sessions and Voxer chats makes me feel extra excited about reaching new goals, and our work together constantly pushes me to look at my business in new ways to see how I can grow.

You've Already Got What It Takes
And If you've read this far, you also have the unrelenting drive to Create the business that will bring you the most joy (and you know, cash).
You don't need me to do that.
But my goal for every single client is that I can help with healing, get you untangled from your blocks, stop looping and take action. I want to make the process of breaking through to your next level easier, faster, more fun, and much less lonely.
Here is the Secret....
I only take 4 clients at a time for business BFF, because well, we go deep.
A reminder: If we seems like a fit, you'll hop on the phone with me for a free session and we'll start talking through your business.
But you literally can't sign up then because I don't take clients who don't sleep on it. If you're raring to go, then I'll ask you to talk to my past clients to get honest reviews. THEN AND ONLY THEN will I let you sign up (or put you on the waitlist for when a spot opens up.)
Ready to chat? Me too. I can't wait to hear about your business.
Ready to go?
