retail guru testimonial Adrienne!
Wow, where do I start my testimonial! You are a walking wealth of critical information, as I was saying to everyone (mother, Jen) we could not have custom-ordered a more brilliant and well-rounded individual than you. Who else can see the construction of a business's foundation from a financial, intellectual and spiritual perspective and translate it all into simple, systematic steps to reach a goal?...you are amazing.

retail guru testimonial Knowledgeable. Experienced. Creative. Resourceful. Understanding. Exceptional. Intuitive.
These are some of the qualities that Adrienne employs while working with her clients. When I met with her for guidance on starting up my new business, she had an incredible amount of knowledge and experience to offer and she did so with great enthusiasm and inspiration. While drawing on her expertise, creativity, and business intuition, Adrienne provided me not only with the framework necessary for a solid foundation for my business, but she could also expand upon my ideas and offer more! I would recommend Adrienne with great confidence to any entrepreneur. I now clearly see the success that is waiting to be had in my business and the steps necessary to get there, thanks to her guidance.
Thank you Adrienne!

I have worked in retail sales and management for almost twenty one years. In that time I have worked with many talented people. I must say that Adrienne Armstrong is truly an exceptional talent. Adrienne has a fantastic, innate ability for finding where the science of retail business meets the creative side of marketing, and putting them together in such a way that everyday business challenges and situations are not only met, they become marketing advantages. Adrienne's technical abilities are only outdone by her enormous creative capacity, genuine enthusiasm for her work, and boundless energy.

The Retail Guru

I would like to express my appreciation for the interest that you have shown by helping me to establish myself in the business of being an astrologer.

As business is not my strength, I appreciate that you have been willing to guide me through a network of concepts that make an esoteric area like astrology accessible to the mainstream public by applying business applications to it. Your insight and supportive approach are the key to taking the "bricks and mortar" detail required in establishing a business and raises commerce to a higher level when looking at the people that lie behind the business dream. The time spent helping me to clearly define my goals and aspirations in this area has been extremely helpful. However there is nothing if it doesn't become a reality and you are filled with simple, practical suggestions that are the backbone of any business. Through clearly given suggestions complete with "how to" suggestions I have been able to structure a business plan complete with how to get started, how to structure a work day, work week and projected goals along with related activities that can enhance my business such as teaching and travel. Other areas that we have looked at include a website, business cards and a structured guideline for the time spent with clients, a fee schedule, a byline and clarification on what the service is that I am providing along with looking at what clients need.

You have been uniquely multi-faceted and versatile in your support in this unusual small business that I am embarking on and I am really grateful for your thoughtful and practical advice.

Thank-you very much for helping me to realize how to share my vision,
