“Build your business
with the end in mind.”

Vanessa Long


No matter where you are in your business, you have two choices:

  1. You can continue to drown in the day-to-day details and grind, knowing that so much more is possible but never seeing it happen, or
  2. You can get up and out of the day-to-day and work strategically on your business to create the future that you’ve dreamed about.

The only time to build the life and business of your dreams is now and Vanessa is passionate about working with entrepreneurs to see it happen sooner rather than later.

One of the first Canadian-trained NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) Trainers, Vanessa applies the most powerful communication tools and her Engineering and Ecology ‘systems’ brain to take a unique look at you and your business.

Starting with you, the Owner, Vanessa digs down and brings out the very best that you have to give. Getting you clear on your Mission (through her proprietary Discovering Your Passionate Purpose™ process) and the Value that your company brings to the marketplace will re-ignite your fires to do something amazing in, and for, the world.

An advocate for those with no voice for most of her adult life, Vanessa has been involved with environmental and social justice causes since University. She was a member of the York Region Children Aid’s Society Board and in 2011 and 2015 she ran in the federal elections as the Green Party Candidate in Newmarket-Aurora. She is a supporter of Amnesty International and the Council of Canadians and is an active supporter of poverty-reduction and anti-racism programs.

A strong believer in the power of business owners coming together to support each other, Vanessa was a long-time member of both the Business Women’s Networking Association (BWNA) and PRO. Since moving to Moncton in 2017 to live in her home by the sea, she has focused on serving her international clientele and building an online presence and network.

Vanessa specializes in working with closely-held businesses up to $15 million, guiding the Owner into systems that take operations and staff out of ‘chaos management’ mode and into smooth and predictable processes that allow the Owner to step back from the daily operations, take a vacation (real vacation!), and create a work-life balance that they didn’t believe was possible. Fast.
