If you’re a woman entrepreneur who’s ready to grow a profitable, purpose-driven business — you’re in the right place.
I’m Donna Lynn Price, Founder and CEO of Compass Rose Consulting, LLC, and creator of the Business Growth Compass. For over 30 years, I’ve worked with individuals and business leaders to bring their visions to life — first in nonprofits and education, and now as a Business Growth & Profitability Coach.
My career began in leadership development and nonprofit management, helping people with disabilities live independently, and guiding underserved youth through adventure education. Those early years shaped my commitment to empowerment and transformation. Today, I bring that same passion to helping women entrepreneurs build thriving, profitable, purpose-driven businesses.
Compass Rose Consulting: Guiding Businesses Since 2003
Compass Rose Consulting started as a leadership development resource and has grown into a trusted partner for women entrepreneurs who want more than “busy” — they want profitable growth with purpose.
Through my signature frameworks — the Business Growth Compass and the 8 Profit Keys — I help business owners align their vision, marketing, systems, and innovation so they can stop spinning their wheels and start creating results that last.
The Business Growth Hub
At the heart of my work is the Business Growth Hub, an online resource library packed with 25+ courses, trainings, templates, and tools. It’s designed to give entrepreneurs the strategies they need to grow their businesses — all in one place. Combine the Hub with group or individual coaching, and you have both the roadmap and the support to make growth happen.
The Business Growth & Profits Field Guide
My latest book, The Business Growth & Profits Field Guide, lays out the Compass Framework and the 8 Profit Keys that help entrepreneurs chart a clear course to profitability. It’s a practical, action-oriented guide that connects vision to results — and it’s the foundation of many of my programs.

About Donna
I’ve always been both a dreamer and a doer. I designed and completed a cross-country bicycle trip with an international sponsor, took part in a 72-day Outward Bound Leadership course, and earned two master’s degrees — one in Education and another in Outdoor Recreation Administration.
I bring the same spirit of adventure and resilience to my coaching. For me, it’s not enough to dream — you have to take bold, consistent action to bring those dreams to life. That’s the heart of the work I do with my clients.
Today, I live in Vermont with my partner, where we bike as often as possible and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. My daughters are off building their own adventures, and I’m loving this next chapter of life. Whether I’m pedaling through Vermont hills or coaching women entrepreneurs around the globe, my mission is the same: to help people create businesses — and lives — they love.
