About Centered CEOs
Janet Semenova and Angie Rice are professional women and serial entrepreneurs with diverse backgrounds and expertise who have achieved great success through their unique partnership approach.
Angie and Janet started their first business together in 2017, and in less than two years, Boutique Travel Advisors quickly grew to be recognized as one of the premier luxury travel advisory firms in Arizona.
Many travel industry veterans and other small business owners were surprised at how quickly they could scale their business without falling victim to stress and exhaustion. Angie and Janet attribute most of their success to their personal intuition, outside industry experiences, and the human connections they have with other professionals and mentors from their extensive careers.
Janet and Angie continually re-evaluated their processes and procedures to ensure that they remained committed to their vision and core values. They implemented authentic marketing and sales strategies to attract their ideal clients and sell their value and service, resulting in predictable outcomes and growth.
By creating a proprietary framework called MAPS, they clearly defined their goals and implemented scalable processes while maintaining balance in their personal lives and business. In early 2020, Janet and Angie decided to share their knowledge, business framework, personal experience, and knowledge with other entrepreneurs.
Centered CEOs are focused on helping small business owners leverage their expertise, identify their "secret sauce" and ideal clients, and implement key marketing and sales strategies to scale their business and achieve long-term success.
