Today I get to interview one of my dear friends, Janey Stahl
When looking for a great guest who not only built her own business from the ground up, but could provide tactical tips for you, the listener, I knew Janey was a perfect candidate.
Janey is a strategic financial officer for business owners who want to maximize their profitability and potential. Her Master’s in Business and Bachelor’s in Finance and Human Resources alongside 9 years of business work experience make her the perfect candidate to help you reach financial goals.
Janey says her goal when working with clients is to help him or her:
- “Make profitable decisions in all areas of [her] business. I will not recommend a tactic just to boost the bottom-line; it has to be aligned to [her] vision and values.”
- “Navigate [her] unique market, manage multiple roles, and achieve sustainable profitability.”
- “Provide creative solutions so [she] can feel confident and empowered.”
Not only do I admire Janey’s business mind, but she is also a wife and mom of two, and the definition of an empowered woman.
I hope you love this interview with my friend Janey of Janey Stahl Coaching.
