When I started the program, I wanted to get my optometry practice running more effectively and feel empowered to move forward with my second business. I also wanted to stop wasting time and have more time for things and people I enjoy. The program was extremely helpful in organizing my practice. I have seen major improvements in the way my office is run. I have also made strides in starting my second business when I had been stagnant in that area for over a year prior to working with Whitney.
I learned that I respond well to accountability and organized action items. Also, so many of us lack the knowledge on how to streamline processes. So, we often waste time spinning our wheels and making things more complicated than they actually need to be. Having Whitney to discuss things with when she’s so methodical and has experience in small businesses was very empowering. The systems Whitney helped me implement in my office are truly invaluable. Doing the program made me feel less isolated and made sure I moved forward in my businesses.

Whitney and her team really helped me find my passion again and allowed me to fall in love with my business all over again. They provided specific guidance and answered any of my concerns/questions about my business.
I learned that I was too busy to focus on growing my business. I was being pulled in so many different directions that I had no crystal clear goal. I realized that I had SO many responsibilities to keep my business running that there was no room for me to innovate and scale the business. I also learned that doing EVERYTHING in my business put me in a headspace that didn't allow me to be creative.
The one-on-one sessions with Whitney and her team and the exercises were truly eye opening. I was forced to be honest with myself and my business. I was forced to face my fears and do the things I kept putting off.
The weekly group sessions were also extremely inspiring. Seeing my peers do amazing things with their business and watching them overcome their fears and insecurities about their business really fueled the fire for mine. The private online community is one of the best communities I’ve ever been a part of! I was able to gain multiple new clients through the community alone.
I would just like to thank Whitney and her team for truly changing my life by guiding me to get back in touch with my passion for photography. I loved the Small Business Accelerator experience. I know Whitney and her team truly care about me and my business. They left no stone unturned and brought so much value to the table.

I wanted to grow every aspect of my business — increase sales, improve ops and logistics, etc — but honestly didn't know what the next steps were. I also wanted to pressure test the ability of my business to support my other life goals — like eventually working for myself full time. I needed thought partnership and guidance on how to organize my time and identify the highest leverage opportunities. I knew from doing Take Back Your Time that this program would be structured using Whitney’s signature philosophies and that was attractive to me.
Now that I’ve completed the program, I feel amazingly accomplished! The growth I experienced during the accelerator was more than I imagined and reassured me that I was on the right path. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed, so having the opportunity to work through things one on one with Whitney and her team, particularly the logistics and operations of the business was a huge help. I didn't feel like I was by myself to figure everything out anymore. I was able to break down the forward movement into digestible pieces and identify places where I could save myself huge amounts of time. I learned that I am capable of a lot more than I think but I have to stop making decisions that come from a place of fear and think like a CEO :)

I decided to participate in Take Back Your Time because I wanted to master my most valuable resource - (time) - as I start my entrepreneurial journey! Since Take Back Your Time, I’ve been able to confidently walk into the life I’d wanted for myself but was too afraid to own. I’ve now taken huge steps to advance my business while making time for priorities in my personal life. The reason I’m able to move in confidence instead of fear is because of Whitney.

I had an anxiety attack and realized I’d hit a fork in the road where I needed to make a decision to take control of my life. I wanted to position myself to do what I wanted to do, rather than reacting to a bunch of things coming my way that “need” to be done.
Through Take Back Your Time, I have made significant changes to how I approach my days. The process Whitney took us through has been extremely helpful in showing me where my time is going and where I want it to go. It also helped me face the myth I have told myself for years - that I can essentially create time. I’ve now faced the reality that there is truly a limit to how much I can do in a given day and I’ve decided that I want to be intentional about how I spend those precious hours.
Whitney has been an excellent coach and design partner in mapping out what I want my time to look like and equipping me to make that happen. Through internalizing Whitney’s Take Back Your Time toolkit, I’ve felt more and more like I own my time.
Since my cohort ended, I’ve done check-ins to touch base with myself on my progress and have been able to reach out to Whitney at points when I could use her help. I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made and definitely recommend Take Back Your Time to others. The whole experience has been fantastic.

I was feeling overwhelmed by the things I was juggling and the decisions I knew I had to make this year. I did Take Back Your Time because I wanted to figure out how to prioritize my goals and be more confident in my execution of them.
Through the program I learned that I’ve always been a person who is under a lot of pressure and just barely keeping my head out the water. However, I aspire to thrive and working with Whitney gave me a tangible way to be on that path and be confident in my next steps.
I got so much out of the process. The deep dive sessions with Whitney allowed me to be very introspective about my decision making. She asked me critical questions that challenged my thinking about what and how I wanted to achieve my goals and helped me sharpen them and be more action oriented. I feel way more confident about my goals than I ever have and am looking forward to crushing them.

Whitney is someone I’ve trusted and admired for a while, so when I heard about Take Back Your Time, I jumped at the opportunity to be coached by her. As a busy physician and founder of The Doctor’s Orders, a digital platform promoting healthy living, it always felt like there was more I wanted to do and accomplish than what I actually had time for.
When I started Take Back Your Time, I was looking for more focused goal setting, clarity on the steps needed to achieve my goals, and ideas on how to become more efficient. The program forces you to stay focused and that was really helpful for me. Through working with Whitney, I realized that I already knew exactly where I wanted my life to go; I just needed to focus on how to get there efficiently.
I definitely got the outcomes I wanted, and would highly recommend Whitney’s Take Back Your Time program to anyone looking for help in similar areas.

I feel much more organized, and well on my way to achieve my goals for my business. I learned that I can get a lot done when I'm organized and committed. I am very happy with the progress I've made with my business and highly recommend the accelerator.

The biggest factor in me doing the program was talking with a friend who shared that it was a community of people who reached success because of Whitney’s coaching. I knew that I wanted to gain control of my life and my time; I wanted to be able to choose what I wanted rather than letting life just happen to me. Through the program, I learned that I let fear debilitate me into inaction. I’m also a consistent overthinker, which makes me overwhelmed very quickly. When I’m overwhelmed it’s hard for me to see where to go, so I don’t move. My need for perfection also makes me feel unworthy and unprepared.
I feel so much more in control because of Whitney’s coaching. Now, I’m making conscious decisions that have propelled me forward in growing my business, spending more quality time with my family, and nurturing my gifts as a musician. Whitney gives the friendliest kick in the pants I’ve ever known. She has a way of taking what it is you want and putting it into actionable steps so that you have no choice but to choose greatness in spite of your fears.

After participating in Take Back Your Time, I was confident that Whitney would be able to help us navigate challenges in our business during the very uncertain time of the pandemic. I also wanted to put in place a strategy to help strategically grow the business.
My expectations were honestly exceeded in the amount of progress we were able to make in only eight weeks. It's easy to be overwhelmed when you feel like you're being pulled in different directions. Whitney providing a framework and a roadmap with actionable steps that help guide you to making the right decisions was critical. It helped me get clear about the path forward to grow my business and implement strategies to start increasing revenue right away.
The program is very helpful to small businesses with limited resources who want to strategically compete. We were able to finetune our marketing, increase revenue, and grow profitability, all while providing an even higher level patient experience.

Whitney is a master strategist. She is a natural problem solver and is one of the best assets I have as I grow my business. Whitney’s guidance led to increasing my number of clients by 300% and increasing my company’s revenue by over 450% in the middle of a pandemic.
Whitney is my safe place to vent problems and frustrations as they arise. She in turn provides a perspective that causes you to see the problem as an opportunity and encourages you to go after it.
Whitney’s services require a substantial investment, but the return on the investment is immeasurable. I practiced investment banking for 16 years; I think about return performance on every investment I make. The aspects of the return I can measure from retaining Whitney have outperformed any other investment I have made in the business.

I was in a difficult place in my professional career where I felt my personal values were completely misaligned from my professional work. Whitney offered me a reset, whereby I took the time to reevaluate what is important to me in my life as a husband, attorney, and avid fan of the performing arts. I wanted to achieve 1) Balance between personal and professional life; 2) Reconnection with my wife; and 3) A more generalist approach to my professional development as an attorney (i.e., moving away from bankruptcy law and becoming more of a jack of all trades).
I'd give myself a grade of A-. The pandemic caused me to deviate some, but it also forced me to reuse the exercises I learned with Whitney and apply them in a new phase of my life. The fact that I am using the tools provided to me from Take Back Your Time means that I have changed my way of thinking, for the better, so that I can adapt to new and exciting chapters in my life. Using Whitney's tools, I was able to create my new normal during the pandemic to ensure that I remained fulfilled, both personally and professionally.
While I found everything in the curriculum to be critical, the biggest value is Whitney herself. She believes in what she teaches and is right there to help push us over the hump when we have a goal but are not sure how it will fit in our day to day. She helps convince us that we can make it work, and that we will.
I learned that my greatest gift to myself and others cannot be achieved by sitting behind a desk 60-70 hours a week. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and how the results manifest in the way I presently live my life.

I could have saved 7 years of confusion and frustration if I had done Whitney’s accelerator earlier. Before the accelerator, I was moving blind and without clear direction. I wanted a strategic revenue-driven roadmap and I decided to do the accelerator because of the entrepreneurial skills and business knowledge it would give me access to.
The level of useful information for those looking to grow their business is invaluable. I also appreciated the patience and understanding of Whitney and her team. I can get scatterbrained and lose focus. They refused to let me fail and pushed me to think beyond my proverbial box. I’m light years from where I was prior to the accelerator and definitely recommend it for those who want sound guidance to grow their business.

When I found Whitney, I had an intense need to change the way I was living my life but I did not have a plan or the tools to get there. I was spending way too much time on my business without making the money I truly wanted to make. At the same time I was not spending enough time on the other aspects of my life, including my health, marriage, social life, spirituality, and family.
With Whitney's help, I've done an amazing job achieving the outcomes I wanted. Not only am I able to factor in time for all the things that make me a successful business owner, family member, friend, mother, and wife, but I also feel this power and sense of control over what is happening in my life.
I have had such a huge mind shift in how I approach my life. My business no longer feels like a chore. I am having more fun working on the nitty-gritty tasks than before, plus I have more than enough time left over to be creative and inspired to continually improve my business. My husband and son notice how present I am during family time, and I can enjoy my friends and family guilt-free. I have even been able to take the time to take care of myself.
Along with the awesome tools that Whitney used to organize my goals and dreams, her skill in teaching how to set boundaries was key. I learned that as someone with a "giver" personality, I was giving too much of my time and energy to other tasks and other people. I let life run me instead of the other way around. Through working with Whitney, not only did I have a blueprint in hand to get from point A to point B, but I was given the necessary realization that it is up to me to stop giving away my time and to make it happen.
Everything worked for me (in fact, Whitney knocked it out of the park!), and I truly felt the drive and persistence that Whitney has for every client she works with. When someone shows that level of dedication, it makes the expertise and curriculum that much better. People who are serious about seeking this shift NEED to know about this program! There is no price too steep for receiving a new lease on life!

I did Take Back Your Time because I was feeling like I had lost control of my life and what I truly wanted for myself. I was living for other people and not putting myself first. I wanted a clear plan to act on in achieving my goals.
Now that I’ve completed the program, I honestly cannot believe how easy this was. I feel like I’ve achieved even more than I anticipated in such a short time. The one-on-one sessions contributed greatly because I am a visual learner and being shown explicitly what to do was key. Also being able to bounce ideas off of Whitney opened my eyes to many new ways of thinking and working.
The most important lesson that I took from this was “every decision you make is saying yes or no to yourself.” I learned that I am capable of being organized and putting myself first. It has changed my life exponentially.
Not only does Whitney give the time and attention necessary to see you through to achieving your goals, she also provides a network of diverse professionals to continue building with after you have completed the program. It’s a wonderful family that holds you accountable and serves as inspiration. She is a coach, mentor and friend for life. Her program is worth it!

I decided to do Take Back Your Time because I was feeling completely overburdened with responsibilities at work and at home and knew I needed to find a better way to balance them. I also wanted my work to feel more effortless and fulfilling.
The most important thing I learned is what I should be focusing on. That’s helped me figure out what is simply “noise” in my life. I can be a lot more organized and responsive to clients when I’m not juggling a million things.
Going forward, I have the tools to stay mindful about my workload and my commitments and to remember to only focus on the things that make me happy or are critical to my goals.

I wanted to figure out how to scale and automate my business in preparation for the growth of my acting career. I also wanted to have a better grip on my projects, freelancers, time, and pricing.
The modules and 1:1 coaching sessions were super helpful. Getting a reality check into what was and was not working in my business was critical. Whitney also helped me zero in on my ideal customer and how to best articulate the unique value my business offers our clients. Then, as my business grew, I was able to use the tools from the accelerator to build out my team and the internal approaches to support future growth.

I had a desire to lead an integrated life; a life where every activity in different areas were never in conflict with one another. I wanted to achieve productivity and efficiency, greater professional success and a reconstruction of a life that enables me to provide more for my children.
I've made tons of progress across multiple areas. Hands down, the activities Whitney led us through and the 1:1 coaching sessions were incredibly valuable. Filtering out the noise and focusing on one thing at a time was key for me. I've learned that good habits in one area will replicate itself in other areas.
Working with Whitney in the program has helped me to achieve quality results. I've also become more resolved in my identity in who I am and how I want to show up. I would highly recommend it to others who desire to take back their time and achieve success on greater levels.

I was feeling overwhelmed and frustrated at all that I had on my plate between business and home. I felt I was losing out on various opportunities because I was constantly dropping the ball on things I wanted to accomplish. As a business owner who offers strategic planning expertise to clients, I felt like there was nothing strategic about how I was approaching my life — I knew the steps but I wasn't doing them.
I have learned that I am hyper-focused on the needs of others to the detriment of my own needs and this often causes me to struggle when it comes to asking others for help or allowing others to help me. Along those lines, subconsciously, I allow myself to buy into the lie that I have to be the one to do many things when in fact I should be relinquishing control of those things to allow me to focus on what will get me closer to my goals. Whitney's coaching to become comfortable with and unapologetic about using what I want and need as a litmus test for what I should do was invaluable.
I have definitely achieved my desired outcomes of unapologetically articulating my goals and of developing clarity on what I need to do to achieve those goals — down to very tangible steps. The accountability that comes from meeting regularly with Whitney and being forced (and taught) not to allow myself to overthink things but to take action decisively and immediately, rather than falling back into the bad habits of overthinking or procrastinating has made the biggest difference. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is serious about getting honest with themselves and doing the necessary work to make changes to reach their goals for their business and their life overall.

I decided to do Take Back Your Time because of respect for Whitney as a business woman, mother, and all around good human. I wanted to achieve a deeper sense of satisfaction with my work and personal relationships and Whitney's firm pushes were very helpful.
The early weeks of the program felt revolutionary - to set aside time to just focus on myself, define my personal happiness, and prioritize what matters to me. I gained an awareness of how much I had given up control of my life to the needs of others. I was surprised to see that I had forgotten that I deserve to take time to do things that I enjoy purely for myself.
Through the program, I've made shifts in my perspectives, and shifts in the use of my time and energy, which has led to a deeper contentment in my day to day life.

The opportunity to participate in Take Back Your Time came at a pivotal point in my career where I had just changed roles and was considering going back to school. I wanted to achieve better clarity around the direction of my next 1-2 years and how that direction was going to enable me to achieve my goal of a career in experience design.
After working with Whitney in Take Back Your Time, I definitely have a clearer direction. I also know the exact steps to take (or not take) depending on which path I decide to pursue. Specifically, the T.I.M.E. Goal Roadmap exercise helped me articulate my goals while the T.I.M.E. Statement exercises made it real and the direct coaching from Whitney really helped me flesh things out.
One thing I learned is how much of my time is not my own because I have a “Yes” problem. I have now started being much more intentional about what I say “yes” to and what that means in terms of trade offs.
I would definitely recommend Take Back Your Time to anyone who struggles with saying “yes” to everything or is at a pivotal point in their career and would benefit from Whitney’s help thinking through the best path to take.

I came into the program needing to determine what I wanted to do with my life. I wanted to achieve more clarity around my strengths and how to turn them into revenue.
Actively doing the Take Back Your Time exercises helped me determine what I should focus on. Now, I have created goals and a strategy to achieve those outcomes.
It was especially helpful talking things out with Whitney because she thinks strategically. I learned that I was giving away free product that I could be charging for now! I also learned that I don't need to wait until everything is perfect to roll things out. There is definitely major value in having the weekly 1:1 sessions with Whitney.
My experience was great. It was a great program and I would recommend it to others.
