Meet Tina Farrier | Business Credit Strategist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tina Farrier and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tina, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
“First and foremost, my children’s well-being was at the forefront of my mind when I embarked on the journey of starting my own business. As a parent, ensuring their livelihood and being actively present in their lives were non-negotiable priorities for me. I saw entrepreneurship as the avenue to not only create a sustainable income for myself but also to carve out the freedom and flexibility needed to be there for my children when they needed me most. The desire to provide a better future for them served as the driving force behind every decision I made, from the inception of my business idea to its ongoing growth and development. Ultimately, starting my own business was as much about securing their future as it was about pursuing my own dreams and aspirations.”

I’ve navigated the highs and lows of multiple ventures, each failure serving as a vital lesson in resilience and determination.

What sets Clearly Consulting Services apart is our authenticity and real-world experience. We’re not just consultants who regurgitate textbook strategies; we’ve lived through the same struggles our clients face.

At Clearly Consulting Services, we’re committed to transparency and honesty. We understand the challenges entrepreneurs face because we’ve been there ourselves. Our approach is grounded in reality, offering practical guidance and strategies based on our own successes and failures.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
“I owe a great deal of credit and recognition to my grandmother, who played a pivotal role in shaping my entrepreneurial spirit. As a business professor at a university, she not only imparted invaluable knowledge about business but also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the impact education can have on others’ lives. Growing up, I watched her with admiration as she recounted her experiences and the transformative results her students achieved under her guidance. Her dedication and passion for teaching left an indelible mark on me, and I found myself aspiring to follow in her footsteps. The way she touched the lives of her students, receiving their heartfelt thanks for her mentorship and support, inspired me to pursue a similar path. Today, as I witness the positive outcomes and gratitude from my own students, I am reminded of the profound influence my grandmother had on my journey as an entrepreneur. She continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance, and I am immensely grateful for her wisdom and mentorship
