My guest Leslie Hassler is a powerhouse strategist, leader, and author who is an expert in transforming small businesses into thriving, freedom-generating ventures. She is the founder of Your Biz Rules with 17 years of entrepreneurial experience. She’s also the author of First This, Then That and the upcoming book Scaling Rich™. Leslie’s holistic approach helps businesses achieve predictable profits and sustainable growth, all while maintaining a balanced quality of life. Our conversation dives deep into what it takes to first grow a business, and then scale it (there is a difference between those two things and Leslie explains it beautifully!)
