Recently it hit me. Why am I not sharing my client list? After all, I absolutely LOVE each and everyone that I serve and they are a perfect fit for not only my brand but for other mompernuers as well.
So from this day forward, I will showcase at least one of my clients per month. They way, you can see some amazing businesses and of course my clients get a free plug! Everyone wins! Okay, let’s get to it! First up is Lapronda Spann. She is the owner of Lain Consulting. I worked with her this summer. 
I can say many things about Lapronda…. and I think I will. She is a powerful, single mom, intelligent, soft spoken, spicy, family oriented, classy, home owning supermom. Her super power is helping non profits not only find money, but also select a strong board to keep them in business.
What I love about working with her:
She loves seeing strategies marked off her vision board. She sees opportunities, risks, and challenges then smashes them down one by one. This little lady is by far a great role model.
She shared: It was a case of the “horrible bosses” that spurred LaPronda Spann in 2012 to finally turn her side gig into a successful, full-time consulting firm.
During the eight years prior, Spann worked full-time in the nonprofit hospital sector in Winston-Salem and Charlotte while helping a few nonprofit clients write grants, after a friend suggested in 2004 she get a business license.
“He saw value in the company,” Spann said. “I didn’t take it seriously.”
But all that changed when she began working in a new section of the hospital for a new boss. It took about eight months for Spann to realize the arrangement just wasn’t working.
“It was the best blessing,” Spann said. “At that point, I just wanted to manage my own schedule and do what I was good at.” – L.Spann
With a little help from others, including her mom, daughter and CPCC she did it!
Here’s what she do at Lain Consulting LLC.
She serve:
- Dreamers, Visionaries and Entrepreneurial Spirits that are looking to establish charitable organizations
- Small to medium sized agencies
- Federally designated nonprofit organizations
- Organizational leadership that are committed to growing and sustaining the nonprofit long term
Yes, she’s that remarkable. Here’s why I think you should follow her:
Key accomplishments: Months after launching her Charlotte-based business, Spann was awarded certification by the city and state, opening the door to government contracts. She grew revenue tenfold in her first year and doubled her client base.
Lapronda reminds me of that Kenny Rogers song, ” The Gambler ” This is the hip hop mix. (I needed something to get hype for a quick workout. this one worked)
Watch this video of Ms Spann in action. I LOVE it in the end when she reintroduces herself by starting of with…. “I AM the ………..”
