Natalie Lemas Hernandez, CEO of Commercial Northwest Property Management, shares how she went from overwhelmed to embracing business growth.

At a crucial moment during an Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) retreat, she found herself at a crossroads, realizing that her business had outgrown her. Not wanting to let down all the people involved in the project, including those impacted by the nonprofit arm, she decided to seek guidance and support.

[11:42] “We started getting more and more sophisticated clients, more and more institutional-level clients that had higher-level needs, and we couldn’t entrepreneur our way out of it anymore.”

Natalie candidly recounts her experiences of taking over the family business and growing it from $700,000 in annual revenue to $4.5 million. Her emotional journey, including her struggles, triumphs, and moments of clarity, showcases the raw reality of entrepreneurship and the resilience required to overcome obstacles.

With the help of EOS Implementer® Jennifer Deroin, Natalie is on her way to transforming her business using EOS®. Natalie’s transformation from feeling overwhelmed by her business, to embracing scalable strategies, offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs dealing with growth challenges.
