Nicki Heskin left the world of the 40-hour workweek more than six years ago with the birth of her first daughter. After deciding not to return to the workforce, she followed the path which felt the most authentic to her, leading her now to her eclectic and fufilling life as a dedicated mom of two wonderful little girls, as an entrepreneur helping internet-based businesses reach their highest potential, and as a writer and parent educator.
Nicki is a master of making it all work, embracing the work-at-home lifestyle with her signature brand of practicality and forward-thinking strategy. She would love to discuss how she can make your business both more fulfilling and successful by showing you how effectively creating a virtual team can free you up for the parts of your business that you love (and bring in the income!). Whether you need help with just a few hours of delegated work a week, assistance with getting a project off the ground, or regular strategy and support from a "no-strings business partner," you and your business can benefit from her experience in virtual assisting, internet marketing and business strategy.
Nicki's first primary client was Christine Kloser, for whom she served for more than two years as member services director and managing director of her former business networking group -- NEW Entrepreneurs. Then Nicki worked with Christine to help strategize the transformation of her business into the current Conscious Business Circle group coaching program and private coaching program (ConsciousBusinessCircle.com and ChristineKloser.com). While with Christine, Nicki got to know some of the great current trailblazers in Internet Marketing, branding, sales writing and more -- including participating in internet marketing pioneer Ali Brown's exclusive Platinum Mastermind Program. Influenced by strategies like Ali Brown's "Boost Business with Your Own Ezine" and "Online Sales Blueprint Workshop," Kim Castle's Brand U, Lorrie Morgan Ferrero's "Red Hot Copy," Lisa Sasevich's "Invisitble Close" and dozens more groundbreaking methods of internet experts, Nicki can help you blend your unique voice with strategies that work.
Throughout 2008, Nicki worked with transpersonal psychologist Meg Haworth to follow her passion in creating a resource site and cookbook for gluten-free, dairy-free cooking and living. Building the business from the ground up, Nicki helped Meg develop a business name and concept, overall development strategy, newsletter and list management, website, cookbook, media plan and marketing plan, which is still underway. The website and newsletter launched in the summer at DeliciousAndHealthy.com.
On her "own time," Nicki writes weekly and edits the Breastfeeding Website and Parenting-Early Childhood Website at BellaOnline.com, creates articles for Suite101, and is a Top 5000 (and climbing) Amazon.com reviewer. She's an avid user of Facebook and Twitter, two of the Internet's rising stars in social networking and marketing. Nicki is also a published author, contributing the chapter "Loving the Life I Never Knew I Wanted" about her journey to entrepreneurship to "Inspiration to Realization, Vol. 2: Real Women Reveal Proven Strategies for Personal, Business, Financial and Spiritual Fulfillment."
