Promise Consulting Group, LLC

06/02/2026

Yesterday, I shared that June 1 marked 10 years since I took the leap and began growing Promise Consulting Group, LLC full-time.

Over the years, the business has evolved alongside the incredible startups and growing companies I’ve had the opportunity to support. What started as marketing consulting has expanded into helping organizations navigate growth through strategic marketing leadership, customer acquisition, partnerships, CRM, marketing operations and performance optimization.

As part of that evolution, I’ve refreshed the Promise Consulting Group website to better reflect the work we do today and the businesses we serve.

While the website is new, the mission remains the same: helping startups and emerging businesses turn strategy into measurable results.

A big thank you to the clients, partners, colleagues and friends who have been part of this journey over the past decade. Your trust and support have made all the difference.

I’d love to hear what you think.

Exactly 10 years ago today, I left corporate to begin consulting full-time.

Giving up a guaranteed paycheck every two weeks was scary. But I didn't just jump blindly, I had a plan:

- I already had a few clients before making the final exit.
- My only real costs were a laptop and a phone.
- If I lost one client, I still had others to fall back on.
- I built a strict 30-day notice period into every contract.
- And the ultimate safety net: I told myself I could always go back to corporate if it didn't work out.

A decade later, never say never, but I don’t expect I will.

Working for yourself is not for everyone. Neither is working remotely, or managing your own days from home. It takes a specific mindset. But for me, it’s a perfect fit. I’m self-motivated, I thrive on a good challenge and I do my best work when there's variety.

Above all, I wanted flexibility. This path gave me total geographic freedom – I can work from anywhere, and I often do.

The best part? The people. I’ve worked with more than 50 companies and hundreds of different teammates. My approach has always been the same: I operate as a true part of the team, never just a consultant on the outskirts.

It hasn't all been a smooth ride. Every business faces tough situations and tricky dynamics to navigate. But looking back at the last 10 years, it’s been better than I could have ever imagined.

To every leader who trusted me with their business, and every teammate who welcomed me into their world – thank you for making the last decade a great adventure!

P.S. here's me with one of my favorite colleagues 🐕

The last time that anything was shared from this page was to post the anniversary of Promise Consulting Group, LLC. Instead of spending time marketing PCG, it all goes to our clients!

We’re still going strong 6 years later and wouldn’t change a thing. Founder Lisa Promise is so thankful to her clients and team for their partnership. Looking forward to another great year ahead!

5 years ago today, Promise Consulting Group, LLC Founder and Principal Consultant, Lisa Promise, left her 9-5 to begin consulting full-time.

Filled with highs and lows + ebbs and flows, this adventure has been the greatest gift and she's never looked back.

If you're considering going out on your own and looking for encouragement, please feel free to send Lisa a message. She's so thankful for the support of so many along the way and she'd love to be the same to you.

As the wise Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

We know Promise Consulting Group has been quiet lately. Truth is...we’ve been hard at work on marketing for our clients! Please note, this approach is not recommended - you can do both 🙂 Hope everyone is having an enjoyable and relaxing summer!
