Built for the Owner Ready for the Next Level
If any of these sound familiar, you’re exactly who we help.
The Plateaued Owner
Your business works — but revenue has leveled off, and the strategies that got you here have stopped moving the needle.
The Stretched-Thin Operator
Everything runs through you. You’re the bottleneck, the problem-solver, and the last one to log off — and you know that can’t last.
The Ready-to-Scale Leader
You can see the next level — a bigger team, new markets, more profit. You want a proven plan and expert eyes before you invest in it.
Where You Are — and Where You’re Going
Growth feels stuck when…
- ✓You’re working in the business, not on it
- ✓Revenue is flat or unpredictable
- ✓Everything depends on you
- ✓You’re busy but not more profitable
- ✓You don’t have systems that scale
Growth feels possible when…
- ✓You’re working on the business, not stuck in it
- ✓Revenue is growing and predictable
- ✓Your team and systems run without you
- ✓Every new dollar brings more profit
- ✓You have systems built to scale
Common Growth RoadblocksWE SOLVE
If your business is bumping up against any of these, you’re in the right place.
Stalled Revenue
You’ve hit a ceiling and can’t seem to break past it, no matter how hard you push.
No Systems
Everything runs on you and memory. There’s no repeatable process to lean on.
Owner Burnout
You’re stretched thin, doing everything, with no time to work on the big picture.
Team & Delegation
You struggle to hand off, hire well, or build a team that runs without you.
Unclear Strategy
You’re busy, but without a clear plan for what to prioritize to actually grow.
Profit Leaks
More revenue isn’t turning into more profit. The numbers don’t add up.

Why Mosaic Business Consulting — and Why Laura Wagenknecht
We understand the weight of growing a business — and we’re determined to see you succeed.
At Mosaic Business Consulting, we know that growing a business can feel like holding a pile of tiles that no longer fit the picture you started with. Our job is to help you rearrange every piece — strategy, systems, people, marketing, and money — so your business can grow without you burning out.
We’re not just coaches and consultants — we’re partners. Our approach is rooted in inclusiveness, equity, and a deep commitment to your success, and we’re proud to champion women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and service-based entrepreneurs — coaches, consultants, speakers, and healers — with the tailored support they deserve.
Meet Your ConsultantI’ve sat on every side of this table — as a clinical social worker, as a CEO, and as an assistant professor. That combination is why growing your business with me feels different: I understand the numbers, the systems, and the very human side of leading people through change.
Most owners don’t come to me short on effort. They come to me busy, stretched thin, and stuck at a plateau — with good instincts and no clear picture of which piece to fix first. My work is to find the real bottleneck, put the pieces back in order, and hand you a plan your team can actually follow.
Every client whose business plan I have written in full — or worked on alongside them — has secured the funding they applied for, including owners financing their next stage of growth.
The only exceptions have been situations where a business owner’s personal financial picture — a low credit score, for example — stood in the way of approval.How I Can Help You Grow
- Find the bottleneck. We assess your business with the P.I.E.C.E.S. Pillar Framework™ to see what’s really holding growth back.
- Build the plan. A prioritized growth plan with clear goals, numbers, and next steps.
- Free up your time. Systems, processes, and delegation so the business doesn’t depend on you for everything.
- Fund the next stage. Lender- and investor-ready plans and projections, plus connections to loans, grants, and investors.
- Lead with confidence. Coaching and accountability so you follow through — without losing yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my business is ready for growth consulting?
If you have steady customers and revenue but feel stuck at a plateau, stretched too thin, or unsure what to focus on next, you’re ready. We work with established owners at every stage of growth — from the first hire to expanding into new markets.
Which growth program should I start with?
It depends on what’s holding you back. Accelerate Your Business Growth is ideal if you want a focused 90-day plan; Branding and Marketing for Millions if you need more of the right clients; and Mindset in Motion if the challenge is leadership and follow-through. Your free consultation will point you to the right fit.
What is the P.I.E.C.E.S. Pillar Framework™?
It’s our signature system for whole-business growth. We look at six pieces — People, Infrastructure, Execution, Customers, Economics, and Strategy — to find the weak link that’s holding your business back and build a balanced plan to strengthen it.
How much does it cost to work with Mosaic?
Investment depends on which program and level of support fit your needs — from “Do It WITH You” coaching to a “Do It FOR You” growth or expansion plan. The best next step is a free consultation, where we’ll recommend the right option and give you clear pricing with no pressure.
Can you help me get funding to expand?
Yes. We write and strengthen lender- and investor-ready business plans and financial projections, and we connect you with loans, grants, investors, and programs that support growing businesses — including those designed for women and minority owners.
I don’t have time to work on the business. How much time will this take?
We know your time is limited — freeing it up is part of the goal. We focus on the few changes that matter most, handle as much of the heavy lifting as you’d like, and build systems and delegation so you get time back as we go.
Can you help with hiring, delegation, and building my team?
Yes. People are the first piece of the P.I.E.C.E.S. Pillar Framework™. We help you clarify roles, hire well, delegate with confidence, and build a team that can run the day-to-day without you.
Do you specialize in supporting women and minority entrepreneurs?
Yes. Our approach is rooted in inclusiveness and equity, and we connect you with funding, grants, and networking specifically designed to support women and minority business owners.
Do you work with businesses outside of North Carolina?
Yes. We’re based in western North Carolina and work with business owners nationwide.
Do you work virtually or in person?
We work with clients flexibly — virtually and, where possible, in person. Reach out and we’ll find the format that works best for you.
What makes Mosaic different from other consultants?
We’re partners, not just advisors. Our approach is rooted in inclusiveness and equity, our guidance is grounded and practical (never empty promises), and we stay with you through implementation — so the plan actually gets done.

The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program is a nine-year program for small businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged. Participants receive one-on-one business counseling, training, and management guidance, plus access to set-aside and sole-source federal contracts. As of 2026, every applicant documents disadvantage with specific, fact-based evidence. The SBA also certifies Women-Owned (WOSB), HUBZone, and veteran-owned small businesses.

State Contracting Opportunities
North Carolina’s Office for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) was eliminated in the July 2026 state budget, but some of its work continues. The Small Business Enterprise Program — a race- and gender-neutral program now housed in the Department of Administration’s Division of Purchase and Contract — still helps North Carolina small businesses compete for state contracts. Certified HUB vendors are encouraged to keep their certifications current, and state agencies are still encouraged to work with them.
