Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy, and growing them into big companies is an important skill for any entrepreneur. Laurie Hirsch Schulz talks with Andi Simon in a recent episode of the On The Brink podcast about how small businesses can grow with the right supports in place.

“Laurie Hirsch Schulz did something quite awesome: she left corporate life to pursue her calling as a coach and a champion for small businesses, particularly for women solopreneurs. She had a great job, only to discover that she had had enough. Sounds like a recurring theme among many of our podcast guests. They are talented women ready to steer their power and their energy in new directions. Laurie’s creative genius is in seeing unmet needs in her markets and finding innovative ways to solve them—rather Blue Ocean style. So much to learn from her! Enjoy.

We talk about the many different types of leaders Laurie works with:

• Career Explorers: Professionals who are ready to purposefully define what personal and career success means to them and build the path forward to get there. 
• Small Business Founders: Mission-focused entrepreneurs who are committed to building their businesses by harnessing opportunities in an ever-changing world.
• Not-for-Profit Leaders: Non-profit CEOs committed to building mission-driven, strategically sound, high impact organizations that are change resilient, even with limited resources.”
