Building a business takes work…… and it is never a linear process!
When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher. If you asked me why I would say, “I want to help people continue to learn to do their best.” I’ve always strived to be the best version of myself and enjoy connecting with like-minded people. This means stepping out of your comfort zone and continually challenging yourself. We’ve all heard that knowledge is power. The reality is applied knowledge is where the power is and this is where most business owners get stuck.
I’m Maryann Croce and I grew up in the construction business. I’ve been a skilled trade business owner since 1999 when my husband Tony and I built our automotive repair shop, Croce’s Transmission Specialists. I continue to grow our business. I know first-hand what it’s like to be spinning your wheels and I am sharing my story because I have a feeling, it is very similar to yours!

Since my first job in retail, a job was more than a paycheck. I wanted to learn something new every day. Whether it was working with different personalities, learning what motivates others or taking my role to the next level. I applied this to my years in corporate banking and management as well. There have been lots of lessons learned. I want to share the Small Biz Vantage System with you to save you years of frustration going it alone. Create the business and life YOU desire.
I guess you can say that my childhood dream to become a teacher has finally come full circle! I’ve done the work as a business owner and did personal and professional training to improve my leadership skillset and mindset. The biggest impact so far has been the 90 Day Year® Peak Performance System.
Now, I am a leadership coach, speaker and certified partner of 90 Day Year®. I encourage you to STOP going it alone. Let me help you build your dream team or get unstuck if your business has reached a plateau. Get your desired results and create a business and life YOU enjoy.
