001: All In: How Women Entrepreneurs Can Think Bigger, Build Sustainable Businesses, and Change the World with Stephanie Breedlove Jun 19, 2017

Show notes

Stephanie is an authentic voice for women entrepreneurs. She has been walking the walk of a successful entrepreneur for over twenty years. After launching a career in corporate America with Accenture, she found her true calling as co-founder and CEO of Care.com HomePay (previously Breedlove & Associates), the nation's largest and most comprehensive household payroll and tax firm. Her startup grew to national leadership, was later acquired for more than $50 million, and plays a vital role in the quality and professionalism of the in-home care industry.

Breedlove and her husband founded and self-funded their entrepreneurial endeavor with no prior experience running a business. During the journey of building a company, she also built a life that integrated family and business as complements, not competitors, to one another. To create the life she desired, she often found herself at major crossroads—the kind that alter the direction and outcomes of life and require you to go all in to get to where you want to go.

In this episode, Stephanie Breedlove and I discuss:

Running a home-based business
Facing challenges & hardships
Why sometimes you just have to take the leap
Most important business strategies you can learn about
Business culture and why it matters
Investing in your customers
Understanding the mission of your company
Meeting the expectations of your clients
Selling the company
Biggest lessons & takeaways

000: Meet Andi Simon. Celebrate "On the Brink", A New Podcast Designed Just for You! Jun 19, 2017

Show notes

In these fast-changing times, do you find yourself feeling like you are on the brink of something great, of soaring to new heights? Perhaps your business is ready to expand or you are launching a new venture or you're thinking of franchising your idea.

These podcasts are all about how you can do it, and not fall off a cliff. You'll hear the fascinating stories of successful entrepreneurs who turned possibilities into opportunities and observations into innovations. Hopefully they will inspire you as you explore your own path to great success.

Today's business landscape is changing faster than people can adapt, confronting CEOs, their companies and their staff in unfamiliar ways. As I travel around the country working with clients, conducting workshops and speaking at conferences, I see panic, confusion, frustration and even anger over the many disruptions affecting almost every market space. Yet for those businesses willing to adapt, this time of great change offers many exciting possibilities.

This podcast, based on the concept of my book, "On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights," is designed to tap into people who:

Help companies address the challenges of sustaining growth amidst great change
Are building companies in innovative ways that could help others re-ignite their growth
Are working with organizations which are "on the brink" and need to re-imagine their business models to adapt to changing times
Have ideas to help you, each of you, rethink where you are going and how you are going to get there

My goal is to help you better "see, feel and think" about your business, your job, your personal life and your purpose. There will be great interviews and conversations with people who are deeply involved in change—consultants, change agents, managers transforming their teams, entrepreneurs just starting out and CEOs running well-established companies.
