Shanna Goodman is a brand strategist and small-business owner who specializes in helping other small businesses succeed.

She realized that having a unique background — and not getting a degree in her field — ended up being a “superpower.” She’s able to approach things in a different way.

At Ampersand Business Solutions, we specialize in market-focused business strategy, meaning that we help clients align their businesses in a way that maximizes their strengths and resources as well as ideally position them for opportunities in their market and industries.

I’ve been doing this kind of work for about 15 years, but started Ampersand several years ago. The thing that’s a little ironic is that I felt like a fraud when I first started doing marketing work, even though I own a marketing business that made six figures in the first year and has doubled from there. (I generated …read more
