Values Based Small Business Consulting
A values based small business means shaping everything you do around the core values that you hold.
Your business is a reflection of you. It allows you to play an active role in shaping the world you want to see. When you are clear on what is most important to you, in work and in life, you can intentionally design your services, products, and team around those values so that your business doesn’t burn you out. Instead it nourishes, supports, and sustains the world you want to build.
“One of the unique attributes of [Triple Creeks] services is their focus on assisting black-owned businesses & understanding the complex & historical dynamics that play into evening out the playing field for black business owners …”
We center humanness in entrepreneurship, building successful work environments people are happy to be a part of.
Empowering small businesses to thrive, is our jam. Small business consulting with Triple Creeks offers specialized support to:
- Create the infrastructure needed to sustain your vision, mission, and purpose.
- Dive into the ‘boring stuff’ with you like technical systems, operations design, financial planning, and ethical business development techniques.
- Make a sustainable impact in your own community.
“As a chronically ill, neurodivergent person, I can find running my own business both empowering (because I get to call the shots and set up workplace accommodations for myself) and overwhelming (because there is so much to manage all at once!) Having the support of Triple Creeks has … supported me to get my ideas off the ground, to check-in with myself and my own needs in the way that I structure my business, and most importantly to choose my YESes with clarity and state my NOs without guilt. The result is that I am able to make my business work for me instead of drain me.”
Many incredible visionaries, dreamers, and thinkers go into business with huge ambitions.
But without the right support, all those bright ideas can burn intensely for a moment, only to quickly fizzle out – a contributing factor to why 8/10 businesses close down in the first 4 years. We encourage our small business consulting clients to:
- Centralize your own personal needs and values alongside the impact you want to make in the world.
- Resist the urgency and perfectionism that often gets brought into the entrepreneurial world, by building businesses that help their owners thrive and not burn out.
- Encourage delegation, logical process, and self-care as an element of work culture, empowering small businesses to flourish and last.

“We are a small accounting firm that focuses on building relationships with ABA companies. We were very pleased with Triple Creeks services & how they helped us build the fundamental processes & systems of our organization.
As an accounting firm, organization is paramount & without their help, we would be scrambling with internal processes & retaining our clientele. One of the unique attributes of their services is their focus on assisting black-owned businesses & understanding the complex & historical dynamics that play into evening out the playing field for black business owners.
We think any small business owner can greatly benefit from their services, especially if they’re heavily client-focused. We definitely recommend them!”
Ardea Creative first came to us during transitioning from being a partnership of 2 co-founders to being run by one of the founders alone. The director wanted to set up their processes to collaborate with various designers and run the business as more of a collective.

We have been working closely with Ardea for 1.5 years and continue to support this business. Some of the areas we have worked on are:
- Holistic financial planning and setting up systems to quote projects more accurately so as not to undercharge for the work completed.
- Time blocking and capacity management for a director who has to take into consideration limited capacity due to chronic illness and disability.
- Creating job descriptions, hiring processes, and review processes for admin support.
- Values based goal setting and strategy planning.
