“You must fall in love with the constant challenges of running a business.”

— Merel Kriegsman

Merel Kriegsman is the founder and CEO of Merel Kriegsman Media. She provides high-end mentorship to women business owners, plus runs a conversion copywriting agency.

While Merel is now on the verge of her first 7-figure year (in less than 5 years in business!), her story starts with: being in debt and underpaid, and scrubbing toilets to make ends meet… while 8 months pregnant.

Helen and Merel talk about the unique relationship between power and money and why women shouldn’t be afraid to go after both.
