What's Your Ask? with Stephanie Sims


Jul 14, 2021

In this episode…

Andrea begins the episode introducing Stephanie, and asks her exactly what it was that drove her into owning her own business. More specifically, what drove her to Financeability.

What gave Stephanie the heart for business? It stemmed from watching her parents who owned their own business. When her parents were ready to retire, they reached out to Stephanie who helped them place value on their business so they could talk about it like the asset it was.

Stephanie shares how she helps businesses plan an exit strategy that doesn’t just include hanging their hat on the door and that’s that. Understanding the end game is crucial, and not everyone knows that.

Another major playing piece for those wanting to ask for money is knowing their ideal investor.  Without knowing that, there is so much wasted time and energy.

There are two groups that Stephanie works with, and those are founders, but the second one that really excites her is working  with organizations that serve groups of founders.  She explains why, so make sure you listen!  

The episode wraps with words of advice and sharing what she believes is her superpower and how it helps others.
