The Journey To A Multi-Million Dollar Business
Every business owner’s journey is unique. It will be filled with lots of ups and downs and is always partnered with steep learning curves.
Having a business is certainly not a walk in the park. It requires a great deal of effort and determination to create a vision and work towards achieving it. The journey may not always be easy but at the end of the day, the sacrifices are worth it.
In this episode of the Influence By Design podcast, Samantha chats with Margy Feldhuhn, an esteemed business owner and the co-owner and CEO of Interview Connections, the first and leading podcast booking agency.
Margy shares her incredible yet distinct journey into the business world; how she moved from having a $15/hour job to becoming a CEO of a multi-million dollar business. Like most business owners, Margy had to learn the ropes of doing business and managing people by herself.
There was also a time when Margy felt that the business was stuck and not making any progress despite making many pivots and changes. Rather than looking at this stagnation as permanent, she took it as a challenge and looked for areas in business that needed improvement, specifically her leadership and her team.
Margy is a real-life example that we are capable of achieving success if we just put our focus on what we want to achieve.
