Steph Blake is a business strategist, SaaS founder, and champion of simplicity in entrepreneurship.

She lives outside Chicago with her husband, their two boys, and dog.

After a decade climbing the corporate ladder and becoming the youngest executive in her company, Steph walked away when her first son was born to run her online business full-time.

Her former virtual assistant business quickly scaled to 6+ figures while raising a newborn and working 20 hours per week.

Over the past 10+ years, Steph has helped hundreds of businesses go from scattered to streamlined — many from $0 to multi-six and seven figures — by focusing on simplicity, efficiency, and intentional growth.

She leads by example: she left the 80-hour grind behind and retired her husband so their family could design life on their own terms.

Steph was also diagnosed with ADHD at 34, which gave her clarity on why traditional productivity advice never worked — and why her strengths lie in efficiency, systems, and seeing the simplest path forward.

In 2024, Steph launched the Simple Business Suite™, an all-in-one software that eliminates tech overwhelm for small business owners.

And in 2025, she founded Create & Escape™, a movement helping thousands reconnect with themselves through creativity.

Her mission is simple: help entrepreneurs build businesses that give them more — more freedom, more time, and more impact — without sacrificing their mental health or what matters most to them.
