Hi! I’m Pepper MAkepeace
Anyone brave enough to give the entrepreneur thing a try is cool as sh*t in my book. I’m here to help you succeed!
My career path has been an inner expedition in search of meaning and fulfillment while shedding my ideas of what I was “supposed” to do with my life. When I finally mustered up the courage to launch my own coaching and web design business in 2008, it’s like I could finally breathe. Supporting others while honoring my values, utilizing my tech skills, and being creative – it’s been a dream come true.
It feeds my soul to help solopreneurs grow their businesses through social media strategy, web design tools, and business planning.
