Patricia Bottero St-Jean, MBA

Patricia Bottero St-Jean is an internationally recognized start-a-business coach, a small business enthusiast, a freedom seeker, a pragmatic optimist, and an avid hiker who secretly talks to trees. She believes entrepreneurship is the best path to the freedom of building a life of one's own design and that truly successful small businesses afford their owners the ability to prioritize who is most important and what matters the most to them.

She began her entrepreneurial career at age 25 and has since spent over 30 years in the trenches of America's Main Street Business: bootstrapping her independent startup, franchising, small business acquisitions while coaching and mentoring owners of all types of businesses.

She founded OPEN FOR BUSINESS, a start-a-business lab and coaching agency that specializes in guiding entrepreneurs from early-stage research, vetting, planning, and up to the launch of their ideal business so that they can start their venture on a solid foundation that minimizes risks and maximizes success.

Throughout her career, she observed that most struggling and failing businesses are owned by capable individuals who made a first and fatal error. They started or bought the wrong business for them simply because they didn't know how to exercise the right preliminary diligence and business planning before launching their venture. As a result, they wasted their time and money.

To help aspiring entrepreneurs like you avoid strategic, and costly errors like this, Patricia created a step-by-step roadmap titled RIGHT BUSINESS RIGHT LIFE that details how to research, vet, plan, and launch the best business for you. This 4-stage and multiple milestones roadmap is the framework that guides her private coaching clients and is revealed in her online courses.
