103: Want A Successful Business? Build An Effective Strategy

Michelle Neujahr is the owner, founder, and lead consultant at nu•yar—a no-nonsense firm uniquely focused on business growth. Michelle works with small businesses and large, multimillion-dollar companies—primarily in the trades, finance, and professional services—to help them overcome challenges that may be holding them back.

Having owned three businesses herself, Michelle knows that running and growing a business is not a straight, predictable path. It’s messy, often terrifying, and can cause a business owner enormous anxiety. So when she works with business owners and executive teams, her goal is always to develop an honest professional relationship built on trust. In that way, she can execute a plan that builds confidence, clarifies purpose, and propels action.

In this episode, Michelle and I chat about the business side of the speaking industry, the importance of mentorship, and how to pivot and build your reputation in a new field.
