“I was in a place of total frustration. I wanted my business to grow, but at that time I lacked the mindset to push my business forward. I did my research, prayed, and was led by the Holy Spirit to work with Laurece. It has been a joy. I have accomplished things in my business that I have only dreamed of. For instance, when I started, I only had one part time employee. Now, my business has grown to the point that I have 5 full time employees. My business revenue has increased exponentially; I have moved into a new (larger) office space; I have a dynamite team of employees; I was able to take my first vacation in over 10 years; I am now on vacation for one week out of every month. I am sure that the list will continue to grow.”

"Over the course of my work with Laurece, my income increased by $102,000 in the first year and by $495,000 within three years. More importantly, the transformation went farbeyond revenue. When we began, the focus was on creating balance—reducing my work hours and establishing a personal routine that allowed for self-care and meaningful time with my family. From there, we implemented systems, strengthened my team, and built in the ability to take consistent vacations. Each step required me to expand my thinking and trust my inner wisdom, and that has made all the difference. I am continuing on this trajectory and fully expect to reach millionaire status within the next few years. For me, this journey is not just about financial growth—it’s about creating stability, freedom, and choice for myself and my family. It’s about being able to invest in my child’s future and build multi-generational wealth."

"‘Onward and upward’ is how I now feel about Abstract Art by Linda! Laurece’s very unique ideas and views of how to grow my business have resulted in a 300% increase in revenue. Additionally, the visibility of my artwork to the business world has increased dramatically.
Before working with Laurece, my artwork sales had really dwindled and I wasn’t gaining traction in internet sales or local sales. Then I started working with Laurece. She did more than guide me; she provided actionable recommendations that 1) allowed me to be solo exhibitor in a large business office, 2) which then allowed me to be more engaged with local businesses interested in artwork, 3) established me as a professional, successful, high-end artist among my peers.
Laurece has a set of pre-meeting exercises that helped me get in the creative mode for our meetings. I had never done anything like this before and was very pleasantly surprised how well it works. Meetings always started and ended on time which is important to me. She is a very upbeat, positive person so our discussions were always on reaching higher, celebrating wins, and most important in my situation, working on my mindset.
My most significant improvement has been in the area of mindset. I’m the first person that needs to recognize and acknowledge my high-value as an accomplished artist. This improvement then provides almost a springboard for two other significant improvements I’ve experienced: increased business and buyers paying higher prices for my art.
If anyone questions the value of your training, please have them call/email me. I’ll be happy to talk to them about it."

"Working with Laurece has allowed me to grow in areas of my business that needed to grow. I had been a solo entrepreneur for almost a year before I said yes to working with Laurece. I had no idea what I was doing and was literally firing blindly at each action towards growing my business and my team.
I was unaware of the reasons I was stuck in my business and lacked the ability to own my business and the direction I wanted to take in my business. Laurece has taught me the importance of systems, strategies, and a work life balance that has been key to my success. She values self care while exploding growth and abundance. She has taught me the value of boundaries within my team, my own business practices, and balancing business and family.
As a busy mom of 4 school aged girls, a work life balance is essential to peace and joy in both work and life. Laurece has given me amazing tools that are applicable and fruitful in honoring that balance above all else. I chose this line of work so that I could have more time with my family while earning a significant amount of income. Laurece has gifted me with the tools to do just that.
She listens, encourages my passions and redirects my missteps in a way that is supportive and empowering. In the last 3 months I have DOUBLED my income in my business while working with Laurece. AMAZING. I know without a doubt her guidance and direction aided in our amazing growth and financial blessings.
I always questioned the value of investing in a business coach as a new business owner. It has been one of the best investments I have made for my business/life balance. Working with Laurece has given me time freedom, financial increase, and empowered me to lead others within my organization. I would be more than happy to discuss my experience working with Laurece! It is a wonderful time each week that always adds value to my business."

“We are Starfish Bakery and our mission is to hire young adults, mentor them in the kitchen, pay them a fair living wage and bake a lot of delicious food! I was inspired to join Laurece and Easily Creative after spending a few minutes with Laurece in the parking lot after a networking meeting. I explained how we were not able to grow as quickly because I needed to oversee everything going out the door because first impressions are important. After working with Laurece for just a few sessions, she was able to listen and get us in the right direction so that we may grow our business.
Laurece has taught me to implement systems throughout our process so that we are wasting less time, working as a team and able to expand at a faster rate. Everyone has really stepped up and enjoyed being part of the solution. We have created a few systems, and this allows my employees to know my expectations of them when difficult situations arise.
Since everyone is helping to create the systems, they feel more empowered, self-sufficient, and successful! We mentor young adults, so it is having a very positive effect on our relationships as they feel trusted and valued.
Laurece is very patient and understanding so she makes you feel heard. I think her wisdom has given us a huge step forward and strengthened my relationships with my employees so that we all want to make Starfish Bakery a stronger business. I see a bright future for Starfish Bakery and want to thank Laurece for her guidance and patience to help make us become a more cohesive group with the same goals!”

“A few years into working in my dream profession as a financial advisor, I realized as a mom of two, wife, and business owner, I had a lot to balance while trying to manage everything. I've always approached things with a can-do attitude. Naturally, I figured I could manage both my home life and my business and be successful in each. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I needed help, but I didn’t know exactly what this looked like.
I was introduced to Laurece who explained what she did to help professionals like me grow their business acumen and earnings exponentially. A coach? No way. That wasn't for me or at least that's what I thought until I had a conversation with her about my life and business goals. She explained how she brings simplicity and direction that allowed me to see what changes I needed to make in how I worked, how I managed my commitments, and prioritized self-care to be successful both personally and professionally. I then decided why not give her a go? What could it hurt, right?
Before working with Laurece, I was flexible with my schedule. I felt guilty for not working 50+hours each week, and I was getting burnt out. After working with her through the process to really dissect my life and my business, I was able to significantly improve my mindset, how I plan and prioritize my days. She highlighted my optimal time when I’m most efficient and what tasks I should let go to allow me to recharge. We worked through the value of my time. I began delegating tasks like hiring a house cleaner and giving admin tasks to my branch office administrator to complete. Thanks to Laurece, I’ve taken control of my life, allowing me to prioritize my family while working more effectively. As a result, my business has grown twofold in the last year and a half.”
Abundance Accelerator™
When I decided to work with Laurece, I had already built a successful entertainment and balloon décor business, but I felt overwhelmed managing the day-to-day operations and trying to figure out how to work smarter instead of simply working harder. I wanted to grow my business financially without increasing my personal workload, and I knew I needed guidance to help me get there.
Working with Laurece was both encouraging and practical. She listened carefully, understood my goals, and helped me identify opportunities and challenges that I couldn't always see on my own. She challenged me when I needed it while also providing support, accountability, and confidence along the way. Most importantly, she helped me develop habits and systems that allowed my business to fit within the parameters of my personal life instead of taking it over.
Three significant improvements were:
-
I gained greater clarity about my business goals and priorities.
-
I became more confident about taking time for myself by finding help I could trust and implementing systems that allowed my business to run smoothly without my constant involvement.
-
I developed strategies and processes that helped me operate more efficiently and focus on growth rather than constantly reacting to day-to-day demands.
I would absolutely recommend Laurece's coaching program to other business owners. The investment has paid for itself through increased confidence, better decision-making, and the ability to step back when needed without feeling like my business will suffer. The changes I've made have benefited both my business and my personal life.

Before I met Laurece, I was stuck in a cycle of negative emotions from past work experiences. Laurece empowered me to see beyond the loss and discover myself again through her Abundance Accelerator Coaching. I am healthier, with a positive outlook on life and my bright future ahead.
When we started, things were very tight financially. The market here was slow with little inventory. Doubling my usual income from previous years, I am wealthier with a new six figure executive coaching position that plays to my strengths, allowing me to lead and empower others, while providing for my own financial freedom. I am happier when I am growing, producing, making double the money, while helping others realize their potential.
Laurece, I am grateful for you, for your brilliant knowledge and awareness of the inner workings of the mind, body and spirit and for your high-level communication skills that led me to experience acceptance and abundance in a few short months.
Gratitude!
Suzette Andrews, Realtor, Executive Coach, former CEO
"After teaching for thirty eight years, I founded 2 DayesScienceTM, a science education company. Laurece has been my business coach during this process, consulting me in business knowledge, models, presentation skills and providing support. Her training as a scientist allows her to effectively evaluate my business ideas and opportunities to pitch my company. Her performance background stimulates my creativity as a business owner. Her coaching allows me to focus on my areas of strength so I can confidently work with venture capitalists as I launch this new phase of my professional life."

"I was in Laurece's Leading Your Business class for a year.
I had a long time business that was inconsistent - it would get very busy but then I'd have slow periods which always made me nervous as a self employed single woman. Laurece focuses on mindset work and self-care as a path to business success.
This class was about how to energetically shift things and it helped me to get clear on goals and my business filled to capacity in the next couple of months. Things flowed once I set my mind on allowing abundance instead of limiting it.
Every time I came to class I felt inspired and I was always grateful for this opportunity. I directly experienced the potency of what we were learning."

"Working with Laurece West has been a truly transformative experience. I came in with strong professional experience in my field, but without knowledge of the local market or how to actually build a business from the ground up. I had the expertise, but not the foundation.
Through our sessions, Laurece helped me find clarity and focus. Her coaching guided me in organizing my ideas, unlocking new possibilities, and taking clear, intentional steps forward. She offered practical exercises, valuable contacts, referrals, and thoughtful suggestions that made all the difference.
At the same time, I was going through a personal challenge, and Laurece supported me with compassion and understanding. This experience went far beyond business coaching, it was personal, grounding, and deeply empowering.
Today, I have officially launched my business, I’m actively networking, building a pipeline of prospects, and making steady progress every day. I’ve gained not only a mentor, but a true friend."
Teresa Rodriguez Founder & CEO MPowerTrade LLC
"I am so glad I met and worked with Laurece early in my journey as an entrepreneur! It was one of the wisest investments I could have made in myself and my business. Our coaching sessions helped me better understand and communicate my value as a service provider so that I felt empowered to charge higher rates and increase my income. Practicing the movement and voice exercises she shared significantly improved my confidence and networking skills. leading to meaningful relationship building for my business. I highly recommend Laurece's Easily Creative strategy consulting for your business!"
Martrisha Bradshaw, Owner & CEO
"I knew nearly nothing of how to walk in this new career choice of Business Broker and Real Estate Agent. I was scared, fearful, skeptical, and needed guidance and new tools and resources on how to do this. I was recommended by my good friend Heidi Hackney and knew that I needed some help to get myself up off the ground and out of the gates! I enjoyed and looked forward to our Monday morning sessions. It was like priming the pump each week to get off to a good start.
Laurece is sensitive to my needs and is always able to bring in new learning, ideas, focus and apply to what is currently happening in my life, career and personal. Was able to sign 8 new clients! I am scheduled to close two deals this month. I have confidence when approaching difficult situations. I learned to celebrate and integrate successes, it feels GOOD!
I received guidance to move my EGO aside, own my own powerful space, process negative emotions, remove doubt, discover my Unique Genius, and integrate successes. There was much material, so much good learning, so much more to learn!
Linda Cole, Business Broker, Nashville, Tennessee
“I reached out to Laurece to help me flush out a business idea I had that was very much outside of my comfort zone but something I felt called to pursue. Over our six months together, Laurece helped me identify some limiting beliefs, and more importantly, gave me a wealth of tools to be able to transform those beliefs into positive ones. The biggest thing she helped remind me of was that when we raise our energy, abundance flows. She gave me permission to slow down, work in a more feminine way and trust my intuition. I am now on the road to building my business in an inspired way, and I trust that the perfect clients and support team will come into my path. In fact, I just started working with my first paid client! Thank you, Laurece, for inspiring me to trust my higher self. It was there all along.”
