      <itunes:summary>In this episode, we sit down with Nick Foy, CEO of Silverdale, to break down what truly drives scalable business success. Drawing from over 30 years of experience, Nick explains why “good intentions don’t work — mechanisms do,” and how structured systems like ERP can transform small and medium-sized businesses.

We explore why so many ERP implementations fail, the four pillars every scalable business needs, and how companies can replace chaos with repeatable, predictable processes. Nick also shares a powerful case study of a business that struggled with ERP for seven years — and successfully transformed its operations in under one year.

We also dive into the role of AI in modern business systems, why humans must stay in the loop, and how technology should support — not replace — smart decision-making.

If you’re an entrepreneur or leader looking to scale sustainably, improve efficiency, and future-proof your business, this episode is a must-listen.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Entrepreneurship can be isolating — and isolation often limits growth. In this episode, Michelle Nedelec sits down with business strategist Liz Scully to explore the transformative power of Mastermind groups for entrepreneurs.

Liz explains why every entrepreneur should either participate in or lead a Mastermind, and how the right group creates clarity, accountability, and faster progress. They break down what makes a Mastermind truly effective — from curating members at similar stages of business, to setting clear goals and using focused “asks” to drive actionable solutions.

You’ll also hear a powerful success story of a business owner who, through Mastermind support, went from earning under $100k a year to generating that same income while working just one day a week.

If you’re ready to stop building in isolation and start growing through collaboration, this episode is a must-listen.</itunes:summary>

You’ll also hear powerful real-world examples, including a client who transformed a service station into a premium experience — allowing them to charge higher prices while building a fiercely loyal customer base.

      <title>How to Integrate Charity Into Business - John Bromley</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if charitable giving could be simpler <i>and</i> more impactful?<br />In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed John Bromley, founder and CEO of Charitable Impact, grew up in a family where charity was a core value. Starting his career in corporate finance at PwC and RBC Capital Markets, John later transitioned to work with leading charity law experts, gaining a deep understanding of the complex charity sector. Recognizing the need for a more accessible and effective approach to philanthropy, he founded Charitable Impact to help people turn their desire to give into meaningful action. The platform has since facilitated over $1.4 billion in donations, empowering individuals to nurture their generosity and create lasting change in the<br />world. John’s vision is rooted in the belief that while the desire to help others is natural, knowing how to make an impact through charitable giving requires support and guidance. Through Charitable Impact, John is making philanthropy more inclusive and impactful for all Canadians. John is a two-time TEDx speaker, a Business in Vancouver Forty Under 40 winner, a soccer coach, and a doting father of two kids.</p><p>Wondering how charity and business can work together?

      <title>How to Teach Kids Real-World Skills: Mini Titans - Kids in Business</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Want to teach your kids confidence, money skills, and resilience — all at once? Entrepreneurship isn’t just for adults. It’s how kids learn life skills.</p><p> </p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownrship Podcast, I interviewed Mike Mammel. Mike is here to talk about Mini Titans.<br /><br /><strong>Mini Titans</strong> is a character-building program that uses entrepreneurship as a powerful tool to instill essential life skills in children.</p><h3><strong>Why entrepreneurship?</strong></h3><p><strong>Resilience Through Challenge:</strong><br />Entrepreneurship is inherently challenging, giving kids the opportunity to experience setbacks and learn how to bounce back stronger, smarter, and more capable. This builds a foundation for self-reflection, emotional strength, and lifelong personal growth.</p><p><strong>A Path to Abundance:</strong><br />A life of abundance begins with understanding oneself. Entrepreneurship pushes individuals — even young ones — to adapt, persevere, and rise to challenges. These traits become the building blocks of a fulfilling, confident, and prosperous life.</p><h3><strong>How Mini Titans Began</strong></h3><p>The idea for Mini Titans began in the spring of 2022. After losing the tourism business he had built over seven years, Mike found himself facing uncertainty, shaken confidence, and a painful sense of failure. Unsure of his next steps, he struggled to rebuild his sense of purpose — until a simple question from his young children changed everything.</p><p>Sitting at the kitchen table with his wife and kids, his six-year-old son and four-year-old daughter asked, <i>“Dad, how do you make money?”</i><br />He didn’t want to give them a single answer like, <i>“You work for someone.”</i> He wanted them to understand both paths — working for others and starting something of their own. But explaining business concepts to young kids felt impossible.</p><p>So instead of explaining, he decided to <strong>show</strong> them.</p><p>Together, they planned their first business: a lemonade stand. But not just any lemonade stand — a hands-on experience in work ethic and problem-solving. They hand-pressed lemons and oranges, experimented with recipes, adjusted their plan, and prepared like a real business team.</p><p>The kids negotiated the selling location in a high-traffic area and even negotiated fruit prices to lower costs. On sale day, the weather was cold and rainy — their only permitted day to sell — forcing them to pivot. After speaking with the store manager, they secured permission to set up inside instead.</p><p>From there, the kids greeted every customer with bright energy:<br /><strong>“Hello! How is your day?”</strong><br />They practiced their pitch so they could either add joy to someone’s great day or help brighten a challenging one with a cup of lemonade.</p><p>After five hours, the kids earned over <strong>$300</strong>.</p><p>From those earnings, they followed the three principles that continue to guide Mini Titans today:</p><ul><li><strong>Spend a little</strong> for immediate reward</li><li><strong>Save a portion</strong> for their future education</li><li><strong>Donate a portion</strong> to give back</li></ul><p>The real success came afterward — when the kids begged to do it again every summer.</p><p>That enthusiasm, curiosity, and growth became the foundation of the <strong>Mini Titans program</strong>, now dedicated to helping children build character, confidence, and resilience through entrepreneurship.<br /><br />Tune in now and learn how to help your kids become confident, capable problem-solvers.</p><p>Check this out!</p><p>Show Links:</p><p>Contact Mike via email at: <a href="mailto:info@minititans.ca" target="_blank">info@minititans.ca</a></p><p>Mini Titans Website: <a href="https://www.minititans.ca/" target="_blank">https://www.minititans.ca/</a></p><p>Mike Mammel on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mammel-0968926a/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-mammel-0968926a/</a><br /><br />Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG" target="_blank">https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!<br />The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling</a></p><p>Looking to scale your business?

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you treating workplace safety as a checklist—or a growth strategy? What would happen if your business had to prove its safety program tomorrow?<br /><br />In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast, I interviewed Elizabeth Lecerf. Elizabeth, the founder of SafetyComply. With a background in working for large single trade companies and years of experience at a general contractor overseeing in-house health and safety and multiple subcontractors, Elizabeth developed a unique perspective. Building strong relationships with colleagues and partners, she witnessed firsthand the stress and resistance often associated with health and safety management. Driven by her genuine care for their safety and unwavering belief in their potential for growth and success, Elizabeth embarked on a mission to simplify and integrate health and safety seamlessly into businesses. Her passion for shifting the perception of safety from a burden to a shared responsibility led to the creation of SafetyComply, where safety isn't just a compliance requirement; it's a catalyst for growth and empowerment. Starting SafetyComply came from her own journey of working through overwhelm, stress and burnout. Managing an unrealistic number of responsibilities Elizabeth has set out to help others manage their own work load and stress by dialling in on her area of expertise.

      <title>Hiring Made Easier - Mike Mammel</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Want a smarter way to hire and train new staff? Are you missing out on free hiring funds?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast, I interviewed Mike Mammel. Mike is a workforce development expert at Lifemark, specializing in helping Alberta businesses access wage subsidies and streamline their hiring processes. With a deep understanding of both employer needs and job seeker challenges, Mike works to bridge the gap between opportunity and talent. He’s also passionate about youth entrepreneurship and runs camps that teach kids real-world business skills.</p><p> </p><p>Coming out of Covid, the Alberta government wanted to help employers reduce their turnover rate, increase retention, and support their business through this challenging time.

      <title>Franchise Business Investment - Adam Goldman</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if your next business came with a blueprint for success? Franchise success is closer than you think.</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast, I interviewed Adam Goldman.</p><p>Adam’s varied experience in business, startups and franchising has given him the expertise to help entrepreneurs to find the best franchise for them. Over his 20 year career, Adam has founded three successful companies on two continents. These include an IT company in Poland and a real estate investment company in Texas. Most recently, Adam grew the Vanguard Cleaning Area Developer concept in Houston into a multi million dollar a year enterprise with over 40 franchisees and 300 customers.<br />Mr. Goldman is also the author of the acclaimed franchise book – The Franchisee Lifestyle. This book is an extension of the work that Mr. Goldman does on a daily basis with FranChoice. Helping people gather the information they need to make the right decision is the primary focus of Mr. Goldman’s practice.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if your next business came with a blueprint for success? Franchise success is closer than you think.</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast, I interviewed Adam Goldman.</p><p>Adam’s varied experience in business, startups and franchising has given him the expertise to help entrepreneurs to find the best franchise for them. Over his 20 year career, Adam has founded three successful companies on two continents. These include an IT company in Poland and a real estate investment company in Texas. Most recently, Adam grew the Vanguard Cleaning Area Developer concept in Houston into a multi million dollar a year enterprise with over 40 franchisees and 300 customers.<br />Mr. Goldman is also the author of the acclaimed franchise book – The Franchisee Lifestyle. This book is an extension of the work that Mr. Goldman does on a daily basis with FranChoice. Helping people gather the information they need to make the right decision is the primary focus of Mr. Goldman’s practice. Adam loves starting businesses because of the excitement, flexibility, and upside that they bring. He especially loves franchises because they include structured processes that increase the likelihood of a business’s success. He decided to buy into the Vanguard Cleaning model because he saw the value of having a proven concept in order to successfully scale his business.<br />Mr. Goldman’s professional credentials include a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree with a concentration in entrepreneurship from the University of California Berkeley.</p><p> </p><p>Ready to start your franchise journey? </p><p>Check this out!</p><p>Show Links: </p><p>Adam Goldman Website: <a href="http://franchisecoach.net/" target="_blank">http://franchisecoach.net/</a></p><p>Adam Goldman on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamgoldmanfranchise/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamgoldmanfranchise/</a></p><p>Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG" target="_blank">https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!<br />The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling</a></p><p>Looking to scale your business?

      <title>How to Unlock Business Magic - Pablo Paul Lemberg 7-8 Figure Special Series</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the missing piece in your business isn’t strategy - but belief?</p><p>In this episode of 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Pablo Paul Lemberg. Paul has advised entrepreneurs and worked with thousands of business owners to grow revenues, profits and valuation — since 1996.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>How do you take a business from ground zero to growth?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Jessi Burg. Jessi has spent her entire career in seasonal industries, from summer camps to outdoor education and landscaping, bringing a unique perspective to company organization.

Outgrow Your Garage specializes in business operations, an area where many businesses tend to struggle. Jessi's expertise lies in transforming chaos into systems, solving problems, and managing logistics.</p><p>As a values-driven entrepreneur, Jessi is passionate about demonstrating that profitability can coexist with breaking down class barriers and treating employees with respect. Through <i>Outgrow Your Garage</i>, she also supports organizations that reduce recidivism through entrepreneurship.

      <title>Eco-Friendly Business - Jonathan Orpin</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ready to build a business that puts people, planet, and profit on equal footing?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Jonathan Orpin.  Jonathan is a lifelong entrepreneur and sustainability advocate who founded not one but two successful eco-friendly companies in the design + build and manufacturing industries, New Energy Works & Pioneer Millworks. With over 30 years’ experience operating on the triple bottom line—a simple belief that people, planet, and profit work together to ensure a better future, his philosophy on sustainability, business management, and giving back are reflected in everything he and the companies he founded do.<br />In 2022 Jonathan sold both companies to his employees and took on the title of CEO as they continue as an ESOP, or Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Utilizing an ESOP as a means of succession planning ensures that the sustainable and forward-thinking principles the companies were founded on are continued for years to come not by a single owner or investment group, but by the craftspeople who make up the company themselves. “I’ve long said what makes the ESOP a good fit for us is<br />that our folks have always had an ownership mentality,” says Jonathan Orpin. “I’m excited to make this transition in a democratized workplace with my coworkers, which has long been a goal of mine, but especially now as employees are increasingly seeking greater equity in the workforce.” </p><p>Learn what does it take to run a business where people, planet, and profit are all top priorities.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ready to build a business that puts people, planet, and profit on equal footing?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Jonathan Orpin.  Jonathan is a lifelong entrepreneur and sustainability advocate who founded not one but two successful eco-friendly companies in the design + build and manufacturing industries, New Energy Works & Pioneer Millworks. With over 30 years’ experience operating on the triple bottom line—a simple belief that people, planet, and profit work together to ensure a better future, his philosophy on sustainability, business management, and giving back are reflected in everything he and the companies he founded do.<br />In 2022 Jonathan sold both companies to his employees and took on the title of CEO as they continue as an ESOP, or Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Utilizing an ESOP as a means of succession planning ensures that the sustainable and forward-thinking principles the companies were founded on are continued for years to come not by a single owner or investment group, but by the craftspeople who make up the company themselves. “I’ve long said what makes the ESOP a good fit for us is<br />that our folks have always had an ownership mentality,” says Jonathan Orpin. “I’m excited to make this transition in a democratized workplace with my coworkers, which has long been a goal of mine, but especially now as employees are increasingly seeking greater equity in the workforce.” </p><p>Learn what does it take to run a business where people, planet, and profit are all top priorities.

      <title>The Retail Revolution - Youssef Botros 7-8 Figure Special Series</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Wondering how can enhancing customer experience lead to exponential growth in your retail business?</p><p>In this episode of 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Youssef Botros.</p><p>Although Youssef didn’t initially have a clear idea of his future career, he always knew he was destined to make a positive impact on the world. Throughout his extensive career in retail, Youssef consistently excelled by developing a passion for training, self-development, and creating efficient systems to deliver consistent results in both sales and operations. His first significant opportunity to showcase these skills came when he was appointed General Manager for a WIND Mobile franchise. Over three years, he successfully opened seven locations, establishing one of the top franchise operations in Canada.</p><p>After building a thriving retail operation, Youssef decided to pivot and moved to Montreal to pursue a career in financial planning. However, fate had other plans. A chance encounter with his former boss led to a proposal to revolutionize the smartphone repair industry in Canada by reinventing the customer experience. Seizing the opportunity, Youssef joined Mobile Klinik Professional Smartphone Repair in May 2015 as Employee #1. During his tenure, he developed the company’s processes, in-store systems, and led the Training and Development department, supporting both new and existing stores.</p><p>In just six years, Youssef played a key role in expanding Mobile Klinik to over 90 locations, making it the largest and most trusted smartphone repair chain in Canada. In 2020, Telus acquired the business for $165 million, marking the pinnacle of Youssef’s career.</p><p>However, while Youssef was celebrating the success of Mobile Klinik, the COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges for many business owners around him. Witnessing these struggles, Youssef felt a strong desire to use his expertise to help others overcome obstacles and grow their businesses. This realization led him to establish GRND Consulting, a company dedicated to helping business owners scale their operations into multi-location brands by focusing on purpose, passion, and process.</p><p>Learn how to leverage customer experience to drive your retail brand forward.

However, fate had other plans. A chance encounter with his former boss led to a proposal to revolutionize the smartphone repair industry in Canada by reinventing the customer experience. Seizing the opportunity, Youssef joined Mobile Klinik Professional Smartphone Repair in May 2015 as Employee #1. During his tenure, he developed the company’s processes, in-store systems, and led the Training and Development department, supporting both new and existing stores.</p><p>In just six years, Youssef played a key role in expanding Mobile Klinik to over 90 locations, making it the largest and most trusted smartphone repair chain in Canada. In 2020, Telus acquired the business for $165 million, marking the pinnacle of Youssef’s career.</p><p>However, while Youssef was celebrating the success of Mobile Klinik, the COVID-19 pandemic presented significant challenges for many business owners around him. Witnessing these struggles, Youssef felt a strong desire to use his expertise to help others overcome obstacles and grow their businesses. This realization led him to establish GRND Consulting, a company dedicated to helping business owners scale their operations into multi-location brands by focusing on purpose, passion, and process.</p><p>Learn how to leverage customer experience to drive your retail brand forward.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Want to discover the secret to mastering languages through storytelling?</p><p>In this episode of 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Olly Richards. Olly had a series of random careers, from jazz musician to English teacher, before eventually starting a blog on his passion – language learning – and growing it<br />into a $10 million business. Today, he writes a newsletter teaching other online entrepreneurs how to scale their businesses to 7+ figures, using StoryLearning as a “living case study”.<br /><br />As he was scaling StoryLearning, Olly constantly struggled to find other successful entrepreneurs who taught freely how they were growing their businesses. In the end, he had to figure it all out for himself, and committed to, one day, providing mentorship to others looking to navigate the perils of scaling. When StoryLearning turned 10, Olly launched his newsletter,<br />teaching strategy and mindset to scale education companies to 7+ figures.<br /><br />Throughout all this time, Olly’s passion was learning foreign languages, and he taught himself eight languages. While living in the Middle East, he decided to channel this passion into creative output, and started a Wordpress blog teaching others techniques for learning foreign languages. Over the next 10 years, Olly grew his business from fledgling blog to multi-million dollar business, publishing dozens of books and becoming one of the most renowned language companies on the internet.<br /><br />Today, Olly is involved in multiple successful education companies as an investor, mentor and advisor, but his passion is still teaching and working with others.

      <title>The Business of Technology - Jack Murphy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Is technology stopping you from growing or running your business?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Jack Murphy. Jack is the guy behind Motion 3 Technology. He started his company for himself and had an entrepreneurial spirit that said he could do this and do it better than others. The second reason was for his wife, Rachel, and their two kids, Malachai and Aurora. They support many of the technology experiments he brings home, and they are always messing with the latest tech tools, apps, and games. They help him figure out how to solve problems creatively, and he has learned tons from them about communicating with clarity and patience to his clients. His company Motion 3 Technology was created with a very simple mission: to bring the humanity back to IT. So often, his friends and family would call on him to explain something that had already been “explained” by another IT or tech professional…who actually left them confused or feeling belittled. It’s also quite intimidating to get a quote for work at your business without knowing whether it is fair and needed. He wanted to do what he  always loved—using technology to expand our understanding of the world around us—while helping other people find the same fun and excitement in the potential of technology that he did. So, he found professionals who value communication, patience, and consistency and formed Motion 3 Technology. And now, he is privileged to say that he breaks a record every day he wakes up. <br /><br />Be the first to know about the future of technology and how it will impact your company in the present and future.</p><p>Check ths out!</p><p>Show Links:</p><p>Motion 3 Technology: <a href="https://www.motion3.tech/" target="_blank">https://www.motion3.tech/</a></p><p>Jack Murphy on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-murphy-4674a731/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-murphy-4674a731/</a></p><p>Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG" target="_blank">https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!</p><p>The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling</a></p><p>Looking to scale your business?

They support many of the technology experiments he brings home, and they are always messing with the latest tech tools, apps, and games. They help him figure out how to solve problems creatively, and he has learned tons from them about communicating with clarity and patience to his clients. His company Motion 3 Technology was created with a very simple mission: to bring the humanity back to IT. So often, his friends and family would call on him to explain something that had already been “explained” by another IT or tech professional…who actually left them confused or feeling belittled. It’s also quite intimidating to get a quote for work at your business without knowing whether it is fair and needed. He wanted to do what he  always loved—using technology to expand our understanding of the world around us—while helping other people find the same fun and excitement in the potential of technology that he did. So, he found professionals who value communication, patience, and consistency and formed Motion 3 Technology. And now, he is privileged to say that he breaks a record every day he wakes up. <br /><br />Be the first to know about the future of technology and how it will impact your company in the present and future.</p><p>Check ths out!</p><p>Show Links:</p><p>Motion 3 Technology: <a href="https://www.motion3.tech/" target="_blank">https://www.motion3.tech/</a></p><p>Jack Murphy on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-murphy-4674a731/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-murphy-4674a731/</a></p><p>Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG" target="_blank">https://go.appointmentcore.com/book/IcFD4cG</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!</p><p>The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling</a></p><p>Looking to scale your business?

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Feeling burnt out?  Want to uncover the secrets to a balanced life and become a better role model for those around you?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Caleb Nelson.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Want to learn why market research is essential and how to keep your mission-driven venture on the path to success?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Sarah Olivieri. Sarah has been called a “Business Alchemist” in the nonprofit space; others have called her “The Money”. She is the Founder of PivotGround.<br /><br />She’s the wizard behind the curtain who has orchestrated the transformation of nonprofit organizations, from failing to thriving, which never fails to make the jaws drop of for-profit business experts. As the former director of 3 nonprofits and founder of 5 for-profit businesses, she understands, deeply, the challenges and complexities facing organizations. But she has a fundamentally different way of looking at things; an ability to see a kernel of opportunity, to flip a problem on its head, to understand which levers to pull for success.</p><p>In this conversation, Sarah tackles the common misconception that passion alone is enough to sustain a nonprofit. She emphasizes the crucial role of market research, a step often overlooked by eager entrepreneurs. With over 1.7 million nonprofits in the United States, understanding the landscape and identifying the true need is paramount.</p><p>Whether you're running a nonprofit, a for-profit, or somewhere in between, this episode is packed with actionable advice that can help you turn your passion into a thriving business.</p><p>Check this out!</p><p><strong>Show Links:</strong></p><p>Pivot Ground Website: <a href="https://www.pivotground.com/" target="_blank">https://www.pivotground.com/</a></p><p>Sarah Olivieri LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-olivieri/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-olivieri/</a></p><p>Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://www.awarenessstrategies.com/m30" target="_blank">https://www.AwarenessStrategies.com/m30</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!

      <title>From Side Hustle to Over 7 Figures - Marnie Rabinovitch Consky 7-8 Figure Special Series</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ever wondered how necessity becomes the mother of invention? </p><p>In this episode of 7-8 Figure Special Series  I interviewed Marnie Rabinovitch Consky. She is the Founder, CEO and Chief Anti-Chafing Champion of Thigh Society (www.thighsociety.com), an undergarment brand specializing in moisture-wicking, lightweight and breathable multi-use shorts that are not shapewear. Marnie is one of those unique entrepreneurs who identified a white space opportunity based on her personal pain point of thigh rub, innovated a solution and then brought it to market. Without any related experience in retail, sales, manufacturing or ecommerce, she followed her hunch, quit her full-time pensioned job at 40 and bootstrapped Thigh Society to $1MM in sales, pioneering a new underwear category of anti-chafing slip shorts she calls “chafewear”. Thigh Society shorties have been featured on The Today Show, in SELF Mag, NY Mag and others and is well loved by celeb influencers like Remi Bader and Alicia McCarvell in addition to being ranked as one of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies in the Globe & Mail’s Report on Business for 2 years in a row (2021 & 2022).

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Want to be a leader that people follow, not because they have to but because they want to?</p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Mike  O'Neill.</p><p>Mike  is the founder of Bench Builders. He is a full-time entrepreneur and a podcast host. Mike was featured on FOX, Digital Journal, USA Today, NBC & more! He helps companies solve the "people problems" that are hurting their profit & slowing their growth.  When people come to him, they usually have a track record of success behind them. The trouble is, with each level of success that follows … the bar is set even higher.

      <title>The Business of Santa Claus - Santa Ed Taylor</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ever wondered what it's like to be Santa Claus beyond the holiday season? </p><p>In this episode of The Business Ownership Podcast - Christmas Special I interviewed Santa Ed Taylor. In 2013, Santa Ed became a Brand Ambassador for Hello Santa, a video visit app. As their Brand Ambassador, he made appearances on the Today Show, QVC, Tube-A-Thon, and many other TV and internet shows and events.<br /><br />His appearance with Rob Dyrdek on his MTV show "Ridiculousness" in 2013 put him on the map nationally as a Santa Claus actor. Appearing with Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg in a trailer for Daddy's Home 2 also helped. Booking national commercials for Kohl's, Band-Aid, Reddi Wip, Overstock, and Chrysler, and an award-winning regional commercial for Meijer's cemented it; Santa Ed was a bonafide Santa actor.<br /><br />In the Chrysler commercial, Santa Ed played a sales manager who looked an awful lot like Santa Claus. He gets recognized for that one often. Santa Ed loves it when someone asks, "Were you the Santa in that car commercial, the one wearing a tie?"<br /><br />Santa Ed has had many amazing experiences since then, such as appearing on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, the Steve Harvey Show, Nickelodeon, and much more. He has also attended many celebrity and company parties, such as those for Facebook, Pinterest, JibJab, Nickelodeon, Mattel Toys, the Lakers, the Rams, and others. Santa Ed has been featured in TV shows, commercials, and even a music video with Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.<br /><br />In 2015, Santa Ed started a Santa School, now called the Worldwide Santa Claus Network. The school is the only one of its kind, offering online training to more than 5,300 Santas and Mrs. Clauses worldwide.</p><p>Learn about the business of being Santa, the joy of spreading happiness, and how you too can don the red suit and make a difference.</p><p>Check this out!</p><p>North Pole Neighbors Website: <a href="https://north-pole-neighbors.com/" target="_blank">https://north-pole-neighbors.com/</a></p><p>Santa Ed Website: <a href="https://santaed.com/" target="_blank">https://santaed.com/</a></p><p>Worldwide Santa Claus Network Website: <a href="https://worldwide-santa-claus-network.com/" target="_blank">https://worldwide-santa-claus-network.com/</a></p><p>That Santa Guy Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thatsantaguy/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thatsantaguy/</a></p><p>Book a call with Michelle: <a href="https://www.awarenessstrategies.com/m30" target="_blank">https://www.AwarenessStrategies.com/m30</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!

Howard has also worked in Uranium, consulted on major natural resources project financing, and has successfully listed multiple companies on the TSX that were later sold for significant increases over their original market values. Today, he is focused on LGX Energy — his reentry into the oil and gas sector, targeting an underdeveloped resource in the Illinois Basin with major potential amid rising demand and increasing oil prices.

      <title>Business Strategies to 7 &amp; 8 Figure - Jennifer Longmore</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Many times people who start business think that there is no way they will reach 8 figures and become successful. But, what if that is just a limiting belief and there are strategies that can help you achieve it? What if you could learn how to make your business grow to 7 & 8 Figures?<br /><br />In this episode of the 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Jennifer Longmore. She is an Award winning CEO & Founder of the #1 Akashic Record Training School in the World. She is also the 11x Best-selling author. Jennifer has built a thriving 8 Figure business around all things consciousness.  She is also a serial entrepreneur, investor, and board advisor to various conscious app's as she prepares them to trade publicly.  When she is not coaching 1000's of conscious entrepreneurs to create 6 & 7 figure businesses doing what they love, you can find her hiking with her family, mining for crystals with her son, or enjoying martial arts with her husband.  </p><p>Soul Journeys: <a href="https://www.souljourneys.ca/money" target="_blank">https://www.souljourneys.ca/money</a></p><p>Jennifer Longmore LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastbookingexpert/" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastbookingexpert/</a></p><p>Join our Facebook group for business owners to get help or help other business owners!</p><p>The Business Ownership Group - Secrets to Scaling: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/businessownershipsecretstoscaling</a></p><p>Looking to scale your business?

      <itunes:summary>Entrepreneurs, business leaders, CEOs, General Managers all face one of the greatest and most vexing challenges: how to grow the business faster and outpace their competition?
Despite many attempts, there has not been a consistent methodology on which they can rely to generate real and sustainable revenue growth. That’s why they continue to struggle with a deceptively simple, yet fundamental question: What do I do on Monday morning at 8 o’clock to grow my business?
In this episode of the 7-8 Figure Special Series, Philippe Bouissou, answers this question.

Philippe has spent three decades in Silicon Valley as an entrepreneur, CEO, venture capitalist and management consultant. He is co-founder and Managing Partner at Blue Dots Partners LLC, a management consulting firm focused on top-line revenue acceleration for companies or business units with revenues between $10 million and $1 billion.
He has developed a new methodology to cut the Gordian growth knot and deliver sustained growth. It’s a universal, data-driven and prescriptive approach to accelerate any business, regardless of its size, location or type of products and services it sells. It is based on the profound insight that maximum growth can only be achieved when the business and its target market are perfectly aligned, just like fines gears between the two plates of a mechanical watch.

Learn how to grow any business through data-driven and prescriptive methodology designed to accelerate any business.

      <itunes:summary>Charging less for your expertise makes you frustrated? Want to create an offer so good that your ideal clients won&apos;t say no to? 

In this episode of the 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Amanda Watts. Amanda C. Watts is the award-winning founder of Oompf Global (2009). Embracing her ‘hidden’ introvert strengths, she has served more than 700 clients in 23 countries – including Australia and New Zealand. Based in Surrey, she has also amassed an online community of 25,000 followers and written three best-selling books.

Her mission is to educate other introverted professionals – including accountants, business coaches and consultants – on how to do marketing and manage their energy, so they can make more money with fewer clients.
A former corporate Events Director, Amanda initially set up a copywriting business that charged by the hour. Having freed herself from the ‘time for money’ trap to become a seven-figure entrepreneur, she now helps her clients to create a brand and offer that is seen as transformational, not transactional.

      <itunes:summary>Building a high-integrity business in our times is no easy feat. It can pull at the parts of you that feel fearful and wounded, putting you in an armored state of being. To truly become embodied as an entrepreneur living a rich life, we must practice active learning, take imperfect action, and courageously choose transformation over complacency. Being embodied means feeling whole and behaving from a place of grounded awareness.

When you make a decision in business, how well do you think before you make the cut?

In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Monique Allen. Monique is the CEO &amp; Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, Inc. Monique spoke about Life-Scaping. Life-Scaping is a fusion of cycles between horticultural and human growth and development. We don’t stay the same year after year – neither do the plants and soil. 
With over 20 years in business, Monique discussed what mistakes some business owners make and &amp; what they have to change in order to grow - just like the plants.

      <itunes:summary>The average American adult is being messaged at the rate of 12,000 messages/day. That&apos;s more than 4 million/year. It&apos;s as if each of us is standing in the middle of Time Square trying to cut through the noise and be heard. You have 6 seconds to help me understand why I need your solution. What do you do?

In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Orly Zeewy. Orly is author, keynote speaker &amp; a brand strategist. She builds the DNA of startup brands and establishes messaging that quickly connects founders with their ideal customers so they can scale in months, not years.

Orly spoke about business owners who often worry that if their messaging is too specific, they will leave someone out. In the process, they become a solution looking for a problem. She believes that not everyone is your ideal client. The more you understand them, the more you can speak to solving a real problem they are struggling with. Targeted messaging helps you cut through the noise; generic messaging speaks to no one and makes you invisible. And that makes it hard to cut through the noise.

Learn how to elevate your brand.

      <itunes:summary>You need to raise your rates but you&apos;re not sure how to do it. Does this make you work long hours to make ends meet?

In this episode of the 7-8 Figures Special Series I interviewed Tanya Fox. After starting her first business in 1998 Tanya quickly realized that entrepreneurship was in her soul and would be a lifelong passion. She has owned service, retail and franchise businesses, still running 3 of them today. She spends her days as an EBT (Emergency Business Technician) helping business owners with her 5 step framework to re-passion grow through collaboration, stop trading minutes for money so they can go from wanting to break up with their business to falling in love again.
She also records her weekly Fox Talks Business podcast and lives by her tagline; “Remember to HAVE FUN, cause if you aren’t having fun, why are you doing it?!”

In this interview we spoke about how to start making more money without investing more of your time in it, when you should exit your business, what are some common mistakes business owners make &amp; more!
And... 
&quot;Just because something is difficult doesn&apos;t mean it&apos;s bringing more value. &quot;
Learn how to make more profit in an easier way.

In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Stefan Zavalin.

There is a simple sequence to create unique content that stands out. The easy answer, is that it is all about YOU. You are the only thing that cannot be copied by another business. The more you combine your humanity with both your business and your content, the harder it will be for others to compete with you.
This episode will tackle the idea of creativity, communication, and branding to help position you as the only person that can create your type of content.

      <itunes:summary>Relationships play a huge role in the growth of a B2B business, and it impacts both direct and indirect growth,
BUT as a business leader, you do not have enough time to nurture all these relationships.
Do you have or need a process in place to maximize the effectiveness of your relationship-building time?

In this episode of the 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Isar Meitis. He is a 3 time CEO, serial entrepreneur, former F16 pilot (Major), investor, advisory board member, startup and small business mentor, speaker and, host of the Leveraging AI podcast.
Isar believes that the core of a good business are good people &amp; a good business strategy. Good people means building a good community around your business.  Having a vibrant community is proven to reduce acquisition costs, increase LTV, lower churn, drive referrals, etc. 

So, if you are wondering, how to build such community in your business... check this out!

In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed John Mitchell. John is a professor of The Science of Success at the University of Texas. John also owned multiple business but he didn&apos;t achieve success he was aiming for, until he read the book that changed his life &amp; mindset. Reading that book wasn&apos;t enough, so he created a methodology to apply the book&apos;s advices and valuable points in a practical way. Over nine years he continually tweaked his 12-minute-a-day methodology. And over those nine years, his income went from low six figures a year to over $5 million a year.
John found a way how to become more productive, creative &amp; how to influence his daily actions.

      <itunes:summary>Are you an entrepreneur looking to maximize productivity? 
In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Tanya Dalton. She is a best-selling author, transformational speaker, and nationally recognized productivity expert. She helps female executives and entrepreneurs step into purposeful leadership.

In addition to having her first book, The Joy of Missing Out, being named one of the Top 10 Business Books of the year by Fortune Magazine, Tanya’s podcast, The Intentional Advantage has received millions of downloads from listeners around the world. She is also a featured expert on several networks including NBC and Fox and is a VIP contributor for Entrepreneur.com. Tanya has been featured in some of the world’s leading publications including Forbes, Inc, Fast Company, and Real Simple. She has been awarded the elite Enterprising Women Award and has been named the Female Entrepreneur to Watch for the state of North Carolina.

Tanya is also the founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co. a multi-million dollar company providing tools that work as a catalyst in helping women do less while achieving maximum success.

The resources mentioned in this episode are:
- Focus on what is most important in the early stages of your business, such as developing your products and marketing them effectively.
- Theme your days to give each aspect of your business the attention it deserves and avoid spreading yourself too thin.
- As you scale and bring on more team members, make sure to delegate and have leads for each area of the business to avoid becoming the bottleneck.
- Use delegation as a conversation, not just passing tasks off without checking in.
- Consider the size of your team and your personal goals and desires for your business, and don&apos;t feel pressure to grow beyond what feels aligned for you.

      <itunes:summary>Are you a health professional? Are you wondering how health professionals can have more productive meetings with their patients?
The first encounter with the patient is what will determine the nature of the rest of the relationship between health provider and patient. How well will they be communicating? What kind of chemistry will they have? Do they see themselves in a comfortable long term relationship or not? BUT mainly what is the diagnosis?
It is very important that these be right on, correct, and healthy from the beginning.
The WWYP Approach which is a theory created in 2009, stands for Work With Yourself, Work With Your Patient. And the key is that we health professionals turn the mirror on ourselves first, before we start patient counseling.
After more than 20 years in patient education and counseling, and having worked with the pioneers of the domain, Despina put together this theory because she saw the need for it.
Today, NHM provides talks, and workshops on the topic, but also the one to one consultations are conducted using this approach.

      <itunes:summary>Are you looking for ways to build connections with your employees &amp; grow your business?
In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast 7-8 Special Series I interviewed Matt Shoup. 
Matt was laid off from a corporate banking job he despised in March 2005. Matt quickly established M &amp; E Painting with the last $100 he had, despite being nearly $200,000 in debt.

M &amp; E Painting expanded quickly and has generated over $30 million in revenue since 2005. Matt and M &amp; E Painting have won dozens of business awards at the local, state, national, and international levels. M &amp; E Painting was named one of the United States’ Top Small Workplaces by Inc Magazine and Winning Workplaces in 2011, one of Colorado’s Top 250 Private Companies by Colorado Biz Magazine in 2010, and received the Northern Colorado Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Business Ethics in 2017.
Matt has founded and grown six successful businesses from the ground up. All of these businesses are led by extraordinary individuals! M &amp; E Painting, M &amp; E Roofing Solutions, RiRy, makers of The Pirate Patch Drywall Repair Tool, Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu, M &amp; E Real Estate Ventures, and MattShoup.com are among these businesses.
In his journey of entrepreneurship, Matt has learnt that leadership has huge impact on business growth and now he&apos;s focusing on connecting with his employees and organizing retreats and activities that help with that.

Nothing is more important than women being independent and able to stand on their own feet. But so many women entrepreneurs push the money stuff to the side. In order to have more money you need to actually want money and for women to change the world we need money to do it.
In this conversation Leslie spoke about some mistakes entrepreneurs make and how to build a successful business &amp; make more money.

      <itunes:summary>Struggling to reach and resonate with your audience during *times like these*? Brands are learning that clicking on ad links is no longer an efficient way to “buy” customers as the decade-long digital advertising boom is screeching to a halt.
In this episode of the 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Sam Mallikarjunan. Sam is the CEO of OneScreen.ai and he introduces listeners to a less competitive, more efficient marketing medium that turns the real world into a performance marketing goldmine. OneScreen.ai is accelerating the growth of real-world advertising by making it easier to buy and sell out-of-home (OOH) ads – from billboards, blimps, and buses to wrapped cars and connected TVs in bars and restaurants.
Learn how to increase your sales &amp; improve your marketing.

      <itunes:summary>We try to grow and improve our businesses through many different things, but how many of you work with a business coach that is valuable for your business? 
Most business owners have no real strategy when marketing their business. Businesses claim they have tried “everything” when it comes to marketing and says, “nothing works.” The reason it doesn’t work is your message. That is why your marketing is costing you money and not making you money. And, this is where the business coach gets in and helps you with creating the right message for your ideal clients, placing the right people into the right roles and much more. 
In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Steve Feld. Steve created and owned six high 6-figure businesses, operated 3 other businesses generating anywhere from $20 to $35M in gross revenue. He is an expert in all aspects of change management, operations, business development, marketing, sales, HR, customer service, leadership, and finance with over 30 years of experience in highly competitive industries.
In this conversation we discuss some mistakes business owners make but also how to market your business more effectively, so that you start getting a high return on your marketing/advertising investment. He also explained the importance of a business coach when it comes to increasing profit and growing a healthy business.
Learn what is the value of business coaching and why it&apos;s needed.

      <itunes:summary>Are you using LinkedIn to grow and promote your business?
In an age when developing trusted relationships is essential to business growth or career advancement, LinkedIn figures prominently. Sadly, many LinkedIn users overlook the basic rules of business etiquette and human decency and default to overt pitching, which diminishes their professionalism and irritates recipients. 
In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Jd Gershbein. 
JD believes that character is king, and we must display good form in everything we do on the LinkedIn platform, from representing ourselves in our profiles to comporting ourselves in the vast interactive space. He is pioneering a new business nexus between LinkedIn, personal branding, and applied improvisation—what he calls LinkedIn style—and leading a movement toward a more organic, human-centered design thinking approach to LinkedIn.

      <itunes:summary>When you start your business you&apos;re just filled with excitement and ideas and it can feel like the best thing in the world. The obstacles and the objections and the work comes and if you&apos;re not deeply connected to the mission of your business it can take you out of the game. But, if your business is built around everything you love and the destiny you are fulfilling with that business, how do you spread the message? How do you get to help more people?

But, if your business is built around everything you love and the destiny you are fulfilling with that business, how do you spread the message? How do you get to help more people?

      <itunes:summary>Christmas is a holiday when we all spend time at home with our loved ones. But, we also spend time at home all other days of the year. That is why it is important that the house is durable, safe and cost-effective.
Does this apply to your home?
In this episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Rolf Helberg jr., the Founder &amp; CEO of Home2Live. The Home2Live™ concept in its full extent is a cross country cooperation between architects, engineers, suppliers, building companies and investors to upgrade existing living areas substantially or deliver a key finished new build concept with low energy multifunctional housing units, including complete sewage treatment systems, water filtering and usage, smart house electrical installations, and alternative energy systems in order to be able to build affordable housing units and even entire cities more or less off grid with the only connections being roads. On the other side, Rolf plays trumpet and he shared with us some of his favorites when it comes to Christmas songs!
He also spoke about the Christmas spirit and the atmosphere around holidays.
This episode brings a lot of topics including some innovations.
Learn how to build a safe, warm home to enjoy in during not only Christmas, but also all the other days of the year!

      <itunes:summary>We were all children who happily waited for Santa Claus and wrote him a letter. We did not know that there are businesses that make this possible with the help of costumes. But how many of us were someone&apos;s Santa when we became adults?
In this Christmas Edition episode of the Business Ownership Podcast I interviewed Ryan Schoel. Ryan is the owner of The Costume Shoppe. 
Ryan and I spoke about Santa&apos;s costume &amp; Christmas spirit in his business.

      <title>Elaine Gibson: Self Care is Not Selfish</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Have you settled for being exhausted, overweight, inflamed and more?
When is enough going to be more than enough?

My experience is that there are so many amazing, beautifully busy women that I come in contact with, who are taking care of everybody else.

And somehow you forget to take care of yourself. When in fact the greatest act of being unselfish is taking the time for ourselves to be your best.

Let me say this self-care is not selfish.

It is the right thing to do. The people that are counting on you, that you really want to give your all to, for the greater good, are depending on the fact that you are willing to take a stand for yourself.

You think it's okay to feel overwhelmed. Actually, interestingly, sometimes you feel like fatigue and overwhelm are badges of honor, because you are doing so much.

No, no, no, no, no. That's not how you are supposed to be.

Let me show you how easy it is.
You deserve to experience optimal health, vitality enjoy every day.

      <itunes:summary>Should business owner&apos;s kids go to college? It&apos;s a tricky answer because done wrong, college can cost your child 2.8 million dollars in future net worth. Denise has owned a business of some kind since the age of 14. But as a 6-figure business owner would she get any &apos;free cash&apos; for her kids to go to college? Popular wisdom would say, &apos;No.&apos; But Denise created a strategy that got her two homeschooled kids $199,000 in free cash for 4-years of college debt-free with cash left over. Business owners do have some hoops to jump through.

      <itunes:summary>I&apos;m Jeff Venn, a life architect, business owner, and mentor to young entrepreneurs.
Many people will tell you where to go, what to do, and how to live, but there&apos;s a higher path and calling inside of you that only you can unearth.​
It&apos;s time to stop living by other people&apos;s scripts and expectations for your life and have your own awakening.
I&apos;ve done this in my own life, taking a forward-thinking, progressive approach to building and running my businesses and how I build and run my days.
Sure, I&apos;ve accomplished a few things on the outside:
Founder of Create Studios, a digital marketing agency
Founder of c o n v e r g e, a community for young entrepreneurs
Former Semi-Pro Surfer
Professional Musician
Fluent in Spanish
But I&apos;m most proud of my successes on the inside. I&apos;ve escaped the rat race. I&apos;m rich in the things that matter most to me – control over my time, a fulfilling work-life balance, and the opportunity to inspire young entrepreneurs to dream bigger than they ever thought possible.
Life is a giant wheel of progress, improvement, and learning.
Now, let&apos;s get moving.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Ari Galper is the world&apos;s #1 authority on trust-based selling and has been featured in CEO Magazine, Forbes, INC Magazine, SkyNews and the Australian Financial Review.

Ari has created a unique and different sales approach based on trust and integrity called UNLOCK THE GAME -- designed so the dreaded act of &quot;chasing&quot; and the painful experience of rejection is eliminated forever - a feat never thought possible, until now.

It is specifically for business owners, consultants and sales professionals, who struggle with converting potential clients into paid clients. Many focus on growing their networks, having more conversations (&quot;numbers game&quot;), but converting them into paying clients, remains an elusive mystery.

Ari&apos;s big lesson you&apos;ll learn today, is that you lose the sale, not because you haven&apos;t demonstrated enough value, but because you haven&apos;t created enough trust -- a mindset shift that has changed thousands of people&apos;s lives.</itunes:summary>

      <title>How to build a successful Amazon business on the side with Janis Carmena</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Janis was a police officer for 17 years before she was injured on the job chasing a bad guy...this ended her career as a police officer and it took Janis quite a bit of time to get over not being able to be a police officer. With time came a mindshift and Janis became an entrepreneur. She has launched two six figure brands on and off Amazon and now teaches others to do so. Her mantra is - never give up...when your world seems to have ended ... think again. There may have been a reason for it.

      <itunes:summary>Janis was a police officer for 17 years before she was injured on the job chasing a bad guy...this ended her career as a police officer and it took Janis quite a bit of time to get over not being able to be a police officer. With time came a mindshift and Janis became an entrepreneur. She has launched two six figure brands on and off Amazon and now teaches others to do so. Her mantra is - never give up...when your world seems to have ended ... think again. There may have been a reason for it. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>1. Credibility, according to the dictionary, is the demonstration of trust. Trust is the demonstration of integrity, authenticity and vulnerability. Add commitment to that to truly encapsulate credibility.

2. A demonstration of credibility is to “show up when you show up.” That’s coming early to meetings, being prepared, and showing your heart.

3. Credibility is the key to being seen. It is showing up when you show up (personally or virtually, with one person or a thousand). It is what your customers and prospects look for when deciding who they should do business with. 
1. CPoP is short for “Customer Point of Pain” which is the specific problem, issue, or concern that your customers and prospects have that you help resolve.

2. CPoP Structure: 1) CPoP can, but doesn’t need to, include the class of clients served. 2) In 1-10 words (1-5 seconds), this represents the primary problem, issue, or concern you address for your clients. 3) It should be short, memorable, shareable and begs the statement “tell me more”.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Hey there!  I’d love to ask you how you are.  I’m super excited to have you here sharing all things entrepreneurial growth related. It’s a topic I never tire of, and I won’t tire of it, at least not until you’re as successful as you want to be in business. </p><p> </p><p>My name’s Michelle Nedelec and I lead the Creative side of my company called Awareness Strategies.So, let’s back up the bus a bit, Awareness Strategies is a digital marketing company that focuses on the IT behind digital marketing and we specialize in affiliate marketing in particular.   If you’re not familiar with the nuances of those… Haha as I think of explaining all of those differences I think there’s an entire show worth of material right there. So, I will do that.  I’ll record another show explaining the differences in the multitude of pillars within marketing because it has become an entire ecospace of it’s own. </p><p>So, within our company there is an IT side of the company that is run by my partner in business and pleasure, Brad Mooney. Fortunately for me, Brad’s been working in IT for over 40 years; working with companies like IBM, CNRL, Haliburton and as the director of the data centre operations, that included program management, IT architecture and a whole bunch of other things that I can’t even remember.Needless to say, he’s way freaking smarter than me and at times it comes in super handy to get him on tech support calls. </p><p>I, on the other hand, run the creative side. So I’m not only the Creative Director but I also work with marketing strategies of our clients and prospects, I’ll work with their marketing departments, sales teams and customer service teams to make sure that they all have everything they need to satisfy their ideal client’s Customer Journey. </p><p>How did I get here, well that’s a great question with a potentially really long answer, but I’ll spare you that and let you put the pieces of the puzzle together as you listen to the shows.  The short answer is that I have been an entrepreneur since I was 23.  I have experience having run my own sales team, I’ve been an executive coach specializing in working with sales trainers. I’ve run a company called Success Therapy where I ultimately worked with executives to strategize their business growth, develop their marketing plans, and help them process through their head trash, to ultimately scale their businesses. Throw in that I was a computer programmer, once upon a time, and that I’m really artsy and you start to see a pattern emerge. </p><p>Where my passion lies is in helping entrepreneurs become successful.  On the back burner, I believe it’s because I see the journey from entrepreneurship to Business Ownership as one of the craziest paths to enlightenment and I really like helping the ADD, PTSD, and all around wild cats of the planet prove to everyone that it can be done. </p><p>So, if that describes you or the fantasy you have of yourself, then I’m here to help you succeed.  I’ll be interviewing some of the best in the business world who have created tribes of raving fans who love not only doing business with them, but referring their friends to them, all of whom come back year after year.  Which, of course is the goal, yes? And, I’ll be interviewing entrepreneurs who’s crazy human trick is helping you build your business. </p><p>I’d love to see you join me every week to learn at least one new thing that will help you to scale your business and get you to the point where your business could run without you, that to me, is the definition of Business Ownership. You know, those businesses, that might even do better when you’re not there. I want you to be able to do what you want to do, when you want to do it, because you have the strategies, systems, support and state of mind that you need in place to OWN your business and not run it.</p><p>And, in case you missed the intro, this show is for entrepreneurs and whether you’re kicking off your day or kick starting your business, I’m going kick your ass into next week with the essential 4 S’s strategies, systems, support and state of mind.  I’m going to be coming at you every Monday.When you choose to listen to me start your week is your choice, and together, we’re going to make you a Business Owner. </p>
