"My company was fairly new when I met Liz. Knowing the power and importance of systems and organization in business operations, I decided to get help from an expert in those areas. I was a bit unsure if I was joining Liz’s program prematurely, being a startup with no direct employees. However, from my first conversation with Liz, I knew I was making the right decision. Her advice and direction has allowed me to avoid some mistakes and shorten the learning curve. She tailored her lessons to my business, and to me personally. I truly feel like I am her only client. She has helped me organize my time and prioritize my tasks. Her goal setting strategies have given me focus and clarity. And her help in creating employee position SOP’s gave me not only the strategy to hire my team, but the confidence to do so knowing that I had a well established plan in place.
One thing I've learned is boundaries. I'll tell you what, the biggest thing I learned, to sum it all up, is you have to rethink everything you do. If you want it, if you want to change, if you want to get bigger, you want to get better. If you want to change what you're doing, you have to change what you're doing. That would be, that would be my biggest takeaway from Liz. I think she's very good at challenging you where you need to be challenged.
Since working with Liz, I’ve completely transformed how I manage my time. I used to feel like I was constantly reacting to problems, but now I’m proactive and in control. By learning to delegate effectively, I’ve freed up time to focus on growing my business instead of just keeping it running. The difference in my daily workflow has been a game-changer.
One of my biggest challenges was letting go of day-to-day tasks, but Liz helped me push past that mental block. I finally stepped away from the tools and started leading my business instead of just working in it. Hiring (and even firing) my first employee was a huge step, and Liz’s guidance gave me the confidence to make those tough but necessary decisions. Now, I’m thinking like a business owner, not just a contractor.
The accountability in this program is next-level. Liz doesn’t just check in—she challenges me, asks tough questions, and pushes me to break through the roadblocks holding me back. Every coaching call leaves me with a clear, actionable step that I know will move my business forward. And because I know I’ll be held accountable, I actually follow through and get results.
When I first joined, I wasn’t sure I belonged—I thought my business wasn’t big enough or successful enough. But through Liz’s coaching, I’ve gained confidence in my ability to lead and grow. Now, I see myself as an industry leader and make decisions with clarity and purpose. Having a group of business owners to bounce ideas off of has been invaluable, and I feel empowered in a way I never did before.
Before working with Liz, I didn’t fully understand my numbers, and that was holding me back. Now, I have financial systems in place that allow me to make informed, strategic decisions instead of just guessing. I know exactly where my business stands and what I need to do to increase profitability. Having this level of clarity has been a total game-changer for my growth.
If you’re even thinking about hiring a coach, do it. No one gets better at anything without guidance, and this program will challenge you in the best way. Ask yourself: Do I want to get off the tools? Stop putting out fires all day? Grow my business and make more money? If the answer is yes, then working with Liz is the next step you need to take.
Thank you, Liz!"

"I got in your coaching program at the right time. My business is exploding right now. I can see it’s going to be a delicate dance the next year or so.
Just wanna say I’m super grateful being a part of your coaching program really looking forward to the future building a kick ass business.
From day one, I felt comfortable with Liz’s coaching. She laid out the structure of the program in a way that made sense, which gave me confidence in the process. I’ve always needed to understand the ‘what’ and ‘why’ behind something before fully engaging, and Liz provides that with her step-by-step approach. It makes me feel hopeful that I can build a successful business without needing to reinvent the wheel.
One of the things I appreciate most about Liz is her leadership style. She’s patient and gracious, but she also challenges you to think bigger and do better. She’s been down this road before, and I’ve learned that sometimes the smartest move is to listen to someone who’s already figured it out. Her guidance has already been so beneficial, and I’m excited to see what’s next.
Running a business is chaotic, and peace of mind is rare. But working with Liz has already helped me see how I can free up time and create more stability in my business. Her coaching has given me confidence that I’m on the right path and in good hands. I can already tell this is going to be a game-changer."

"Working with Chism Solutions over the past several months has been an enlightening and eye opening experience for our company. The work we have accomplished together will no doubt have our company trending in an upward direction for years to come. Liz goes out of her way to understand who she is working with and how to best serve them. She has spent several hours getting to know how our company functions from the owner to office personnel. Liz has taken our company vision and created the path to achieve. Working with Liz Chism and Chism solutions is akin to strengthening the backbone and the core of our business. Her impact will be felt for the foreseeable future."

"We worked with Liz and team in relation to a large CFO client my firm acquired. We had a 90 day transition period with a key employee at the new client before he moved on to a new position. We hired Liz's group and was very glad we did. They did an excellent job working with this key employee during his transition period. The documentation we received was excellent, Liz's group didn't take much of my team's time, and kept us in the loop during the process. This was my first time utilizing someone for help with process documentation and we will be utilizing them again in the future. I am very happy with the product we received.”

"Liz helped me develop standard and operation procedures for a new role in my company. I know the importance of operational procedures in one's business in order to run a successful business. I was in desperate need of developing SOPs, and Liz made the process easy. I am now more prepared and not afraid to continue working on developing the rest of my company's SOPs!"

"Liz has the perfect mix of business know-how, ownership understanding, and employee work flow. She was able to take the information that lives in the minds of those doing the tasks and put them onto paper for everyone to understand. Now we are able to hire and train in a repeatable, meaningful way.”

"I highly recommend Liz for SOP creation. She helped my team and me with systematizing our eDesign service. Liz even worked around our 9 hour time difference and we had a video call at 6AM her time. I will use Liz’s services again!”

"I would, say over the past month, the biggest thing that I've learned from Liz is I can't grow the business while I am the business.
So paying myself to do all the other hats that I'm wearing allows me to hire people to do the jobs that I was doing. Which I thought would in turn make less money, but it has actually gotten me the opportunity to get more jobs, to make more. So doing less is making more.”
Erik Hoch - CMK Home Solutions, Ohio
"Until I hired Liz, I had been unable to collect all the necessary information from the various departments and roles in the company to effectively expand my business and have multiple branches. Liz was really able to bring everything together and make a well-written tool for our new staff to know what is important to know and also to expand with new, distant staff to make them feel comfortable with the expectations of being consistent with other locations."
