The Four M’s Framework: Building Strategic Intelligence Into Every Business Decision
Dawn’s proven Four M’s Framework provides the foundation for strategic business intelligence: Mindset, Mechanics, Mission, and Magic. This systematic approach gives you the business intelligence that Fortune 500 companies use – specifically designed for small business owners ready to move from guessing to knowing.
🧠MINDSET Intelligence – Develop strategic thinking frameworks and decision-making intelligence. Build the emotional intelligence and leadership capacity to make strategic choices under pressure, not reactive ones.
⚙️ MECHANICS Intelligence – Create financial and operational intelligence systems that reveal what’s actually happening in your business. Master your Breakthrough Number™, optimize cash flow patterns, and eliminate the bottlenecks you didn’t know existed.
🎯 MISSION Intelligence – Build operational and customer intelligence that drives sustainable growth. Understand why people actually give you money (not your elevator pitch version) and align operations with market reality.
✨ MAGIC Intelligence – Develop market and competitive intelligence that reveals opportunities you’re missing. Create strategic positioning that’s based on intelligence, not assumptions, and build relationships that compound your growth.

Recent Customer Reviews
I am amazed at how Dawn spent so much time and detail looking at my business numbers and knowing right where to “dig in” to figure out what was going on. After our conversation, I have a very clear picture of next steps and what I need to do to get my company back on track and I know it’s doable. She showed me based on the numbers what levers I needed to pull and change to make the difference in losing money daily to making money on every sale. This was priceless as I have been trying to figure out what I needed to do and could not find help with this.
Mathea Ford
I have been working with Dawn as a small business consultant for a little over a year and a half. When we first started working together, I was in a difficult breaking point in my life as an entrepreneur, through truthful and encouraging words she helped me on refocusing my goals, create a strategic plan and encouraged me along the process till I started to find success again. One of her greatest attributes is integrity, in the business world it is hard to find but very alive in Dawn.
