Hey, I’m Meghan! 👋🏻
I believe running a business can be a whole lot simpler than we make it.
I’m a Fractional COO & Systems Strategist who helps solopreneurs and small business owners figure out what actually matters, what they don’t need, and what’s making their business harder to run than it needs to be.
Then I help simplify the operations, systems, and technology behind it so the business works better for the person actually running it.
And I don’t just tell you what to do. I roll up my sleeves and help you make it happen.
How I Got Here
It actually started with clutter.
When I first started my business, it was a side hustle while I was still working in banking. I was a professional organizer helping people organize their home offices.
I’d come in, sort through the piles, organize the space, give everything a home, and leave behind an office that looked and felt completely different.
And then sometimes they’d call me back a month later... and it looked like I’d never been there. 😂
At the same time, I was spending my days in banking talking with business owners about what was happening behind the scenes in their businesses.
They were often incredibly good at the thing they had built their business around.
But being great at what you do and knowing how to run the business around what you do are two very different skill sets.
That realization changed the kind of business I wanted to build.
I became fascinated by the things happening underneath the visible mess: the workflows, information, tools, decisions, repeated tasks, and processes that determine whether running a business feels simple or unnecessarily complicated.
And I started helping business owners build the operations, systems, and technology that support the work in the first place.
The business has evolved a lot since those home-office organizing days. But the question underneath my work is still remarkably similar: What keeps creating the friction, and how do we make that simpler?
How I Think
I don’t start with technology. I start with your business.
Before I recommend a tool, workflow, automation, or system, I want to understand something much more important: What are you actually trying to accomplish?
Because the coolest automation in the world is completely useless if we’re automating something you don’t need to be doing in the first place.
What is the business actually trying to accomplish?
We start with the goal, how the business makes money, and what actually needs to happen next.
What actually matters right now?
Not every idea, opportunity, problem, or shiny new tool deserves your attention at the same time.
How does the work need to happen?
We look at what’s happening now, where things get stuck, and what is taking more steps, decisions, or brain space than it needs to.
What can be simpler, removed, or made repeatable?
Before we add anything, we look for what can disappear, be streamlined, or stop relying on you remembering what happens next.
Then we decide what technology actually belongs in the answer.
The tool comes after the business need, not before it.
Sometimes the answer is a new system.
Sometimes it’s using something you already pay for differently.
And sometimes my favorite answer is: You don’t need that freaking thing at all. 😂
Technology works for the business. Not the other way around.
Strategy + Implementation
I’m probably going to ask you to share your screen.
There are plenty of people who can tell you what to do. My work usually doesn’t end there.
I can move from the bigger business question to the operational decision to the workflow to the actual technology without treating them like four completely separate conversations.
Sometimes we’re figuring out what makes the most sense. Sometimes we’re mapping out how something needs to work. Sometimes we’re simplifying a process that has collected seven extra steps somewhere along the way.
And sometimes we get to the point where talking about it isn’t going to get us any further.
Business Decisions Operations Systems Technology Implementation
I want you to leave with something that makes sense, works for the way you operate, and that you actually understand how to use.
Why This Matters to Me
Your business isn’t the only thing you’re running.
You’re running a business while also managing some combination of a home, relationships, kids, appointments, family responsibilities, community commitments, your own well-being, and about 47 other things that don’t disappear when you open your laptop.
I think of those roles almost like mini businesses of their own. Some of them just don’t pay you. 😂
And all of those parts of your life are drawing from the same resources as your business.
That’s why I don’t look at your business in a vacuum.
I care about whether the system works. But I also care about whether the system works for the person who has to live with it.
The Whole Point
Systems That Support Real Life.
Because a system that works beautifully for your business but makes the rest of your life harder isn’t much of a system.
A Little More About Me
Yes, there are credentials behind all this chaos-cutting. 😂
I’ve spent more than 15 years working across business operations, systems, technology, and process improvement.
I’ve also spent years building my own business, which means I know there’s a pretty big difference between something making sense on paper and something actually working in real life.
My background spans banking, business operations, systems, technology, entrepreneurship, consulting, and training. Today, I bring those pieces together as the Founder & Fractional COO of The Solopreneur COO®.

The COO has a real life, too.
I’m based in Ventura, California, where I’m a wife, mom, stepmom, business owner, and community connector who apparently cannot turn the operations part of my brain off.
I’m the person who naturally looks for the shortcut, reorganizes something because “there has to be an easier way,” and gets genuinely excited when I can connect two people who really need to know each other.
I love traveling with my family, bringing people together, learning new things, and finding ways to make everyday life work a little more simply too.
So yes, the same brain that questions a seven-step business process will absolutely question why we’re doing something the hard way at home. 😂
Apparently simplifying how things work isn’t just my business. It’s kind of how I’m wired. 😂
So, Where Do We Go From Here?
