Hi,
Do you want to start a business but are afraid that it might fail?
Do you want to start your best-fit business with confidence, clarity and excitement? Not with fear and overwhelm?
If so, kudos to you!
Starting a business, whether you want to build it from scratch or buy one, has inherent risks but there is a way to fail-proof any business before you commit to it.
There is a common-sense, but seldom used way, to ensure you and your business will succeed,
Here’s the secret:
I wasn’t happy in my corporate job.
I craved more freedom, uncapped income, and a career that actually mattered to me.
I wanted to build a life that revolved around my priorities—my family, my passions, my values—not the demands of a boss or a 9-to-5 grind.
I wanted to own my time, not just trade it for a paycheck.
But I was scared. What if I didn’t make money? What if I lost money, wasted time, or even damaged my reputation?
And here’s the kicker: I had zero business experience. No fancy degree. No roadmap. No idea where to start.
My first business was a brick-and-mortar company that I bootstrapped from the ground up. It grew to seven figures with a team of 40.
Sounds great, right?
Except… I made a ton of expensive mistakes because I didn’t have a clear plan. Eventually, my trial and error approach resulted it in my burnout.
That experience led me to mentor other business owners who also wanted to grow a thriving, 7-figure business.
As I worked with them, I started seeing clear patterns. This is when I interviewed close to a hundred business owners and noticed something fascinating:
-> Some made plenty of money but were miserable in their day-to-day work (and life.)
-> Some were struggling financially and unhappy.
-> And then there were the rare few who had both financial success and a business they genuinely loved.
So, what was their secret?
Self-awareness.
The happiest and most successful business owners understood their strengths and built a business that aligned with who they truly were. They also knew their blind spots and how to fill in those gaps—whether by outsourcing, hiring, or partnering with the right people.
And that’s when I realized:
Knowing yourself is the fastest path to business success (and happiness as an entrepreneur.)
I took everything I learned, from my 20-year experience as a business owner and from mentoring other owners, and developed a clear, step-by-step formula to help aspiring, soon-to-be entrepreneurs find the right business before investing their time and money.
No more guesswork. No more costly mistakes. Just a fail-proof process to ensure the business you build (or buy) is a perfect fit for you—your strengths, your vision, and your life.
And it starts with uncovering the unique strengths that make you a natural leader in your business.

After years in the corporate world it was time for a change and I felt trapped. Fortunately I met Patricia who has been my professional coach and the steady “hand on the tiller” guiding me to a professional rebirth. She used time and expertise to understand my situation and strengths and match me to an opportunity that I love without any pressure to take action on her behalf.
Patricia helped me create my accounting firm Padgett in Mountain View from zero. She provided me very practical, patient and professional ways to analyze different business models and my personalities to finalize my choice that is most suitable for me. Without her help, I wouldn’t run my business this smoothly.
If your goal is to find a solution, aka the best business for your life you should look at them from different angles other than yours. Patricia will teach you how to be smart and happy with your new business even if you have to change continent to open a new business and move to another county.

An extraordinary and happy piece of serendipity led us to Patricia Bottero Saint-Jean when we first moved to Santa Barbara. Having sold our business of 16 years, we were looking for new investment opportunities and new adventures. On being introduced to Patricia, whose passion and mission is exactly to help people find business opportunities tailored to their needs and skill sets, we started to work with her to find our new business.
Disclaimer:
This session is for employees and individuals evaluating business ownership—not for those already running a business.
But first, I need to tell you this.
Owning a business in itself doesn't guarantee a better life.
There is a wrong way (a biased way) to start or buy a business.
There is work, and objectivity required in researching before you jump into any business idea.
This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.
Most people who start a business look for shortcuts and underestimate the value of early-stage planning, to their regrets.
Many business gurus will even tell you to make the leap and then figure it out as you go...
That's a sure way to lose money and time, and fail! We believe the opposite.
Before you quit a job, before you invest money and energy in any kind of business, I advocate following our unbiased formula to ensure you begin with the right business. A key element of that formula is the awareness of your strengths and to optimize them with the right business.
It is the most fail proof way to start any business.
This is for those who want to create or buy a business the right way by building a solid foundation for its success.
For aspiring business owners who are ready to exercise early due diligence, owning the right business is a remarkable way to live a fulfilling life.
