Episode 217 | Her Problem Became a Profitable Business - Here's How - Dr. Nelva Lee

Send us Fan MailIf you’re a business owner and have ever thought, “Someone should fix this,” you’ll want to listen to this episode.My conversation with Dr. Nelva Lee is a real-world example of what happens when someone actually does something about a problem...and turns it into a profitable business. Dr. Lee didn’t start with a big plan. She ran into an issue in her own work - interpreters weren’t properly trained. Instead of tolerating it, she built a solution. That solution became a business.Here are a few ideas you can use right away:• Pay attention to what frustrates you in your day-to-day work. That’s often where opportunity lives • Don’t wait for permission. She brought the idea to her boss, got turned down, and did it anyway • Build around outcomes, not just services. Her program trained people to be job-ready • Start where your audience already is. She got traction through industry associations • Be ready to adapt. What worked before might not work nowWe also talk about why trade skills and practical experience are becoming more valuable in an AI-driven world.If you see a problem, don’t just talk about it - do something about it.About Dr. Nelva Lee:Dr. Nelva Lee is the Founder and CEO of Concrete Build Financing.
