From Idea to Impact: Why I Started Grace & Honey Consulting (and How You Can Build a Business That Lasts)

When I first started Grace & Honey Consulting, I didn’t set out to build “just another marketing agency.” I wanted to create a growth firm that helps entrepreneurs build something real and something scalable that does not fade out after a few years. I set out to help build businesses that aren’t just beautiful on the outside, but structured, strategic, and scalable from the inside out.

Because I’ve been where you are balancing passion with overwhelm, Googling “how to register my business” at midnight, trying to figure out where to even start. My jewelry brand Preciosa Jewelry Co. is living proof that our strategy not only works but performs and is scalable! So I get it. I decided somewhere between spreadsheets, brand colors, and too many cups of coffee, that small business owners don’t fail because they lack passion. They fail because they don’t have a plan.

The Spark Behind Grace & Honey

I started Grace & Honey after years in the software and marketing world, working with companies that had all the resources but none of the heart. Right before I was let go of my last marketing job, the man who built the business said "you brought this company forward 9 months in only 2 and a half." Two seconds later, I was let go. This was the catelyst for Grace and Honey. From my experience from corporate america to the small business world, I saw the exact opposite in small business owners — all the heart, but often missing the systems, strategies, and structure that create long-term success.

“Grace” represents how we move through challenges — with composure, purpose, and integrity.“Honey” represents the reward — the sweetness that comes when all your hard work starts flowing in the right direction. Built on integrity, excellence and the firm foundation and FAVOR of Jesus.

Together, they form the foundation of everything I teach: build with intention, operate with excellence, and grow with grace.

The Gap I Saw — and Decided to Fill

Most entrepreneurs start with an idea and jump straight into branding or social media. But when you skip the foundation, your business becomes a house built on sand. I saw too many founders pouring their energy into marketing without first securing the essentials — the legal setup, automations, website strategy, and clarity on who they’re serving.

Grace & Honey was created to change that. I built a consulting agency that helps businesses establish both their structure and their story — the systems that keep them running and the strategy that keeps them growing.

The 3 Pillars of Building a Business That Lasts

Whether you’re just starting or scaling, these are the cornerstones every business needs:

1. Structure Before Aesthetics

It’s tempting to jump straight into logos and color palettes — but before you invest in visuals, invest in the foundation.Make sure you’ve registered your business with your state, obtained your EIN, and have a dedicated business bank account. Clarity and compliance come first. Once you’re official, your brand identity can follow with confidence.

2. Systems That Save You Time (and Sanity)

Your systems are what turn chaos into clarity. Automate inquiries, contracts, and payments so your business runs even when you’re not glued to your inbox. At Grace & Honey, I’ve helped clients generate over $100,000+ in bookings in 9 short months through streamlined automations and digital infrastructure alone. When your systems flow, your revenue grows.

3. Strategy That Sells

Your website and marketing should do more than look good — they should convert. Every touchpoint should lead somewhere meaningful: a booking, a sale, or a connection. SEO, branding, and content strategy aren’t extras; they’re the backbone of sustainable growth.

When you know your audience, align your message, and consistently show up, you turn browsers into buyers — and clients into advocates.

What Grace & Honey Represents

Grace & Honey isn’t just a consulting agency; it’s a movement toward intentional entrepreneurship.I believe in blending faith and strategy, creativity and systems, artistry and analytics — because real success happens when all those worlds align.

When you build your business with grace, you allow yourself to grow without burnout. When you build with honey, you attract opportunity and abundance naturally. Together, they create a brand that not only looks polished but feels purposeful.
