Meet Elaine Opferkuch
Your lead financial wisdom educator
“I’ve spent my career in the trenches–from navigating moments where we were $400,000 short on a subcontractor and supplier run, to negotiating with banks during the Global Financial Crisis to hold off forced sales, to being part of rebuilding and ultimately selling that same business for $275 million.
What I’ve seen, time and time again, is this: business owners rarely struggle because of a lack of effort or ambition. They struggle because no one ever taught them how money really works in a business.
My philosophy is simple: when business owners understand money, they unlock their potential–and everything changes.”
