Making the most out of everything you've got with Jean Kuhn

Permission to Kick Ass

Jean is a seasoned business woman with a knack for turning around a failing business - and she does it with serious (and unconventional) style. Today we're talking about her journey from fearing she was about to lose everything to owning a successful franchise business. As if that weren't enough, now she's reinventing herself again, and helping other women find their own second acts. If you've ever felt stuck and hopeless, this one's a serious kick in the pants... in the best possible way.
Can't-Miss Moments:

• Jean's "milk crate moment" - the rock-bottom low that forced her to pick herself up and turn her failing business around...
  
• How do you get yourself out of a funk when everything's going wrong? Jean and I share what got us up from our self-pitying puddles so we could get out there and kick ass...
  
• The surprising reason Jean sent customers directly to her competitors (there may or may not be chocolate-dipped cicadas involved)...
  
• A cautionary tale on using outreach attempts for easy content: what happened when Jean recognized that she was the "bitch" a prominent business owner was talking about on Facebook...
  
• Out of context quote featuring a full on rant courtesy of Jean: WHOLE ASS IT! (you gotta listen - it's SO good)

Jean's bio:

Jean Kuhn, is a serial entrepreneur who became self-employed on April 29, 1985, at 8:52pm, when the nurse put that first baby in her arms, and she immediately knew she wasn’t going back to a job she hated.
In 2002, Jean bought her first bankrupt franchise business, and turned it into a profitable cash generating machine in 12 months. In 2006, she bought a second bankrupt franchise business and created another cash generating machine in less than 12 months.
In both cases, Jean added $100,000 to the bottom line for each company in the first year. She did this with no list, no help or training from the franchise, and no budget for marketing. She created low cost/no cost marketing strategies that she still teaches her clients today.
Jean, has been a successful business strategist since 2006, when she started helping all types of businesses grow and scale their businesses.
