Small Business Guidance
Main Street Made Easy is a place for independent small-business owners to learn, explore ideas, and find practical guidance on the realities of running a business.
Drawing from years of hands-on small business ownership and operations, along with experience in banking, lending, retail, marketing and customer service, I share what I've learned — including the things you often don't know you need to know until you're actually running the business.
Through Main Street Made Easy, you'll find educational videos, conversations, practical tools and resources covering everything from opening and operating a business to customers, employees, marketing, money, systems, growth and the unexpected situations that come with being a business owner.

What Our Clients Say
Kassandra P. | Freelancer & Purium Affiliate, California USA
Cris is patient and honest in her mentoring. She is very fair and level-headed, clearly wears a business hat and can manage people's chaos. I am in the beauty industry and I am not used to that! She knows the industry well and gave me practical tools to help navigate my industry.
I truly felt her confidence in me, and she built up where my abilities were lacking and helped me refine my skills and how I felt about myself. Cris is very well organized and has excellent tips for obtaining that for your business and personal.
