About

My name is Chris Laible. I'm your Journey and Marketing Strategist. My superpower is seeing opportunities for you and your business that might be in your blind spots. When we engage on these opportunities, we get you closer to your goals. This is done with many options, including 1:1, four different workshops, membership, or checking me out on my Facebook group.

I am proud to bring my banking, management, entrepreneurship and marketing experience that creates the amazing career I have today. I am privileged to work with new and existing entrepreneurs at several levels. Those that are just starting out have much different needs than entrepreneurs that have been in business for a while and may be stuck or want to go to the next level. For more of the entry-level entrepreneur I created my signature program On Track with Chris which is all about Time Management, Relationships, Accountability and Clarity. Each time I facilitate this workshop, as a seasoned entrepreneur I get reminded of something that needs attention that I may have let slip by. I say this for all my workshops but I really do love sharing this one. With all the opportunities available now incorporating apps, paper options, digital training and Zoom type videoing this has been a growing workshop. (signature workshop)

In the beginning...In 2000, I started in the custom embroidery field when a local provider retired. Through the years, many supporting services were quickly added, such as screen printing, heat press, vinyl signs, and many promotional items. As the years went on, in 2013, I layered in working with entrepreneurs, getting and staying visible in their business. Eventually, the production environment gave way to the need to be more mobile as the family's needs changed. With the health diagnosis of my husband, occasionally we need to travel, and making the business transition seemed timely.


How did I get started...Like many entrepreneurs, I started my journey in entrepreneurship out of a family need. I was in banking, we live in a small town 30 minutes from everywhere, and childcare was scarce. My husband had a day job but was on call almost all the time. We felt creating an opportunity for me to weave into our family needs would be best for us. I started my business as a home-based business. Four short years later, I rented my first commercial location, 6 months later, I moved to a larger location, and 1 year later, I bought my commercial location. I had that commercial location for 14 years. Throughout those 14 years, we experienced many challenges of a growing family, health concerns of aging family members, and a diagnosis within our immediate family, which led back to home-based during the pandemic.


Where am I going...

I’m on a mission to ensure every entrepreneur finds what fits them so that they can embrace their voice, their product, and their service, which all deserve to be a choice, too! Their business deserves to be visible. The problem is, for some of us, visibility makes you want to hide. The weight of being the only decision-maker where the results of every decision made and every task completed is on them can be stifling. But you know not being visible is no longer good enough!


I’m an entrepreneur with over two decades of home-based, bricks-and-mortar and online visibility. Visibility is essential for your business, and my passion is making sure we keep you reminding the world you (your business) are still here. While you are reminding the world...I also want to remind you to remember yourself each day as well! We need you refreshed and visible in your business to keep your business visible to the world.


As with many businesses, in March 2020, I experienced changes to my business since I was considered non-essential and vacated my brick-and-mortar location to once again be home-based. In one day, 75% of my income was gone, and at this point, how was I going to cover the expenses of a brick-and-mortar business where I hosted my workshops and in-person On Track clients?


Through creating and implementing my business, I've artfully incorporated over three decades of business experience, education, and management know-how. I am grateful for my 18 years of banking before becoming an entrepreneur for over two decades.


While many small business owners are in business for themselves, I help to remove the isolation from this scenario and help identify needs along your business journey. In the beginning, we realize very quickly the hours that entrepreneurs keep. Our passion tends to take over! My mission is to help you stay well-rounded, repeatedly encouraging you to remind the world that you’re still here each day.
