About Blue Heron
Blue Heron Business Partners is a company that works with service-based businesses to find the right strategies that help them connect with their ideal prospects with success and ease.
My Mission
To help talented business owners stop squeezing into strategies built for someone else — and start building a business that fits how they work, with the right people beside them and a mentor who never leaves them hanging.
Why I work the way I do
I’m a 4/1 Manifesting Generator in Human Design — an Opportunitst and Investigator. What that means in practice is that I go deep before I act. I take the time to truly understand who you are, how you’re wired, and what you actually need — before I ever make a recommendation or an introduction.
My line 4 is all about community and opportunity — which is why my network isn’t just a list of contacts. My line 1 makes me a natural investigator. I’m the person who reads the room, reads the person, and sees the opportunity before anyone else does. It’s a living, breathing community of people I’ve built real relationships with, and I use it with care.
When I connect two people, it’s because I know both of them well enough to know it will matter. That’s not a feature. That’s who I am.
Meet Your Strategist
Emily Bissen
Owner & Founder
I’m Emily Bissen — Business Opportunity Strategist & Super Connector, and the person my clients call when they’re done spinning their wheels and ready to actually move.
I built my work around a simple truth: the reason most talented, driven business owners stay stuck isn’t lack of ambition. It’s that they’ve been handed strategies built for someone else, connected to people who don’t quite fit, and left without a mentor who truly shows up when it matters.
That’s exactly what I set out to change.
“In order to reach your fullest potential, you need to find what works for you now and then. Your success is our success along the way.”
Here’s what changes when we work together
You stop forcing strategies that don’t fit
Using your human design as a foundation, we build a strategy around how you’re actually wired — how you make decisions, how you attract clients, how you work best. When the approach fits, everything gets simpler. Clearer. More sustainable.
You stop selling yourself — and start attracting
When you understand how you’re designed to show up, you stop trying to convince people and start naturally drawing in the clients and partners who are already looking for exactly what you offer.
You get connected to exactly the right people
I’ve spent years building a network with intention. When I make an introduction, it’s because I know both people well enough to know it will matter. My clients don’t just get access to my network — they get the right doors opened at the right time.
You have a mentor who actually shows up
Not just on scheduled calls. When something comes up, when a decision needs to be made, when you need a thought partner in real time — I’m there. Because real support doesn’t clock out.
What becomes possible
One client landed her first $5,000 month through a single strategic introduction. Another quadrupled her revenue in two years after we rebuilt her business around what she loved and how she worked best. Another stopped being the only one doing the selling — and started getting referrals and partnership opportunities through my network instead.
Most of my clients feel the shift within 90 days. Not because I have a formula — but because when the strategy finally fits and the right doors start opening, things move.
Emily dramatically changed the way I thought about business development after just one session (though I continue to return because her insights are invaluable!). She is warm, compassionate, encouraging, and tough in the best way– helping hold me to a high standard and expect the best in myself. Practically speaking, I leave each of our sessions with very tangible to-do’s that I find so helpful in my tasks for the week. Emily is authentic and smart, full of good ideas about how to help business owners, and listens carefully to what I need as an individual business owner. Highly recommend Emily and her services!
Emily has a wealth of practical sales process knowledge and experience to share. She quickly helped me identify and implement enhancements to my sales procedures. Now when someone expresses an interest in what I do, my next steps are crystal clear. Selling now feels more natural because of Emily’s advice and support. She is also extremely responsive and generous with her time. Having Emily in your back pocket is a game-changer!!
Emily has been a blessing and one of the best investments I’ve made in my business! Emily’s constant positivity and genuine encouragement along with her ability to create tools for me to be successful have been exactly what I need to continue to grow.
Not only was Emily able to pivot on a dime through my continuous procrastination and pessimism, but she was able to help build a tangible toolbox of systems for us to continue our growth with ease. Thank you Emily!
Sometimes it’s hard to see the wins when you look in the mirror but by the end of our time working together, we were miles from where we started. I encourage anyone that needs a jumpstart with their business or networking systems to reach out to Emily.
Why “Blue Heron?”
Blue herons symbolize self-reliance and self-determination. Blue herons can maneuver through life and co-create their own circumstances. I co-create success with my clients by helping them build the confidence to understand that the service or product they offer provides value to people’s lives.
Who I Work With
My goal is to empower the people doing the leg work to get new business in the door and help develop a process that is unique to them so they can feel successful every day.
I work with service-based business owners who know they’re capable of more. I build a program tailored to exactly who they are, connect them to the right people, and stay in their corner until they’re living proof of it.
