Hello My Name is Shannon Clark!
You're great at what you do. But running a business takes a whole different set of skills, and you shouldn't have to figure it all out on your own. I help small and midsize business owners in Maine make sense of the business side, get organized, and figure out what to focus on next.
My Story...
I'm a Maine native, a business owner at heart, and someone who genuinely enjoys figuring out how to make a business work better. For 13 years, I ran an auto repair shop with my dad, handling the business side so he could focus on what he did best: fixing cars. I later started a towing business, and in 2025, I sold both businesses for a profit. Along the way, I learned firsthand what it takes to run a business, manage employees, make tough decisions, and keep everything moving when the numbers don't seem to add up. Now, as a business advisor and consultant in Maine, I help small and midsize business owners do what they do best without feeling like they have to figure out the business side all on their own. My favorite people to work with are those who are great at their craft or service but find themselves overwhelmed by the organizing, planning, or day-to-day business decisions. I won't bury you in spreadsheets or throw a bunch of numbers at you and expect you to figure it out. We'll have real conversations, look at the big picture, break problems into manageable pieces, and figure out what needs your attention first and why. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine with a degree in mathematics and minors in business and physics, but some of my most valuable experience came from running my own businesses and helping people learn. I believe nobody is failing just because they don't know how to do everything. We all have different strengths, and mine happens to be business. If you're tired of hearing "I'm not sure" when you're looking for answers, let's talk. If I can help, I'll help. And if I can't, there's a good chance I'll know someone who can. When I'm not working with business owners, you can usually find me enjoying life on the river with my two dogs, swimming, dancing, or sitting around a bonfire on a summer night.
