Meet Sandra Wolter

Blending Tradition and Innovation: From Coffee Roots to Entrepreneurial Heights. Raised in a fifth-generation coffee business, and transitioning from a distinguished career in journalism, Sandra now excels as a specialty coffee entrepreneur, speaker and business mindset coach. Her rich heritage and varied experiences merge to offer a unique blend of insight and guidance, tailored specifically for empowering first time entrepreneurs over 40, as well as helping overwhelmed existing owners take back control over their business and life.

If you are a professional woman over 40, burnt out in a corporate dead end job, or you spent the last decades raising a family and are now looking to make a significant life change, here are good news: If you are ready to launch your own business, now is the time!

Half of all startups in the U.S. are founded by women, and according to a Harvard study, most successful founders have an average age of 40 when they start. Chances are, as a Gen X-er or late Millennial, you can bring a unique combination to the table: Resilience, an innovative mindset, leadership and management skills, sense of social responsibility and focus on community.

Yet, the transition into entrepreneurship or solo-preneurship is daring and an often overwhelming, sometimes even lonely, journey. You are quite literally on the path to yourself when you search for your purpose and set out to bring your inner vision to life for the world to see. This is why guidance and a solid foundation are keys to success.

Sandra's philosophy: Build yourself up on the inside before jumping into action. Everything in your world, including income and relationships, is a mirror of your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions. Allow inspired action to lead you onto a path that’s easy and effective, instead of pushing through with the aimless doing and suffering that are often celebrated today. Your life is an inside job first, congruency of thought, emotion and action is key. Sandra’s approach to coaching is to provide holistic business preparation. She teaches women how to navigate the big five:

Mindset: How to gain and maintain clarity of your purpose, set goals and stay focused.

Mental Balance: Replacing limiting thoughts and beliefs, and maintaining emotional stability.

Body: Taking care of your physical wellbeing.

Financial Literacy: How to plan for success and combine profit with purpose.

Substance: Your inner foundation and power source. Connect to who you are and act with awareness.

If you already own a business, but struggle with keeping up and taking it to a higher level, or are in need of a re-calibration of your goals and purpose, the same principles apply and can help you greatly to regain joy and create success.
