Leslie's ability to engage everyone while imparting valuable information is so refreshing! She brings great positivity with her. It makes her a fun, exciting addition to any group or project. Her level of expertise, through years of working with business owners to elevate their success, is a commodity anyone looking to advance should want.

Leslie was a fantastic addition to our panel of speakers for our women and wellness event. We loved hearing her personal journey and how she helps businesses scale financially. I’d highly recommend Leslie for business owners and public appearances.
Ashley Ritcher -
Leslie Hassler brought real fire to the mic.
Leslie's journey from building a business that felt like a prison to creating one that became her playground made this episode both deeply relatable and incredibly strategic, especially in how she connected profitability, team empowerment, and sustainable growth.
The big takeaway for any owner is simple and powerful: stop treating freedom as a someday reward, delegate the task you’re still clinging to, and build a business that can scale without burning you out.
Frederick Dudek -
Leslie was a fantastic podcast guest who brought immediate value to our audience by breaking down the complex mindset shifts needed to scale a business.
I especially appreciated Leslie’s concept of "micro tears" in customer relationships and her practical advice on building a magnetic brand through consistent, thoughtful touchpoints.
I would highly recommend Leslie from Your Biz Rules to any host looking for an expert who can deliver actionable, high-level business strategies with genuine warmth and clarity.
Michael Vickers -
What really stood out to me was how Leslie explained the Your Biz Rules Scaling Rich framework. The way Leslie broke down clarity, alignment, and leverage just made it feel doable, not like something you have to figure out on your own later. It actually felt like, “Oh, this is how it all fits together.” Honestly, it was such an easy, natural conversation, which is exactly what we love: real talk about building a business that can grow without everything feeling so heavy.
Jeanne Willson -
Leslie was a phenomenal guest. She came in prepared, brought real substance, and still made it feel conversational and easy to follow.
What stood out most was how she connected profitability to freedom in a way that actually lands for owners, plus her simple “personas” framing (the ostrich, the rhino, the owl) made money behavior instantly understandable without shame or jargon.
I loved how she grounded the conversation in practical reality: cash creates options, and when you have cash you stop making fear-based decisions.
Leslie tailored her message perfectly to my audience by keeping it actionable and owner-centered, not theoretical.
Rocky Lalvani -
Leslie was an incredible podcast guest. She was very easy to talk to and brought a high level of energy to the conversation, which made the episode engaging from start to finish. Leslie did a great job tailoring her message to our listeners. She focused on entrepreneurship and what it truly takes to build and grow a business, making her insights both relevant and actionable. I would absolutely recommend her to other podcast hosts. She is insightful, knowledgeable, and delivers real value. We would love to have her back on the show.
Jeff Sesol -

LouAnn Wagner -
Every time I hear from Leslie, I get a new idea.
I’ve had the opportunity to hear Leslie on 3 different occasions and every time I hear her, I get a new idea. But mostly, I am inspired by the fact she walks her talk and as an entrepreneur, that’s one of the most important things we do. So don’t miss an opportunity to learn from Leslie.
Barbara Hemphill -
Leslie was an amazing guest! She came prepared and was so easy to interview. My show is geared towards entrepreneurs who are in the earlier stages, and so I was a little bit hesitant to have her on because she targets more seasoned business owners. But, I shared this concern with her and she was able to adapt her message to my audience perfectly! I highly recommend her.
Agatha Brewer -
I’ve had the privilege of listening to Leslie speak on the topic of Growth & Scalability, listening to her podcasts, and reading her blog regularly. Leslie is extremely knowledgeable; I always gain something I can turn around and apply in my business right away. I highly recommend connecting with Leslie at Your Biz Rules.
Nicole Green -
If you want to scale your business and actually keep your freedom, you need Leslie. She’s smart, fast-paced, and has a personality that makes the 'hard work' of business growth actually enjoyable. Most importantly, she is someone you can trust with the numbers and the strategy. She doesn't just give advice; she’s in the trenches with you. A true partner in every sense.
R. Kenner French -
I’ve interviewed many leaders on builders, and Leslie Hassler stands out for her clarity and deep expertise. We dove into why some small businesses scale while others stall, and her insights on strategic planning and "cash forward" thinking provided my audience with immediate, actionable value. Would highly recommend as a guest.
John Busby -
Leslie spoke to the NAWBO Circle (a program designed for women-owned businesses with more than $1M in annual revenue). She did a phenomenal job in conveying complex information in a way that was easy to comprehend and apply to each business in the room. There was not a multi-tasking person in the room, as every person was engaged in the information she was sharing. I highly recommend Leslie as a speaker and scaling strategist! I know that I plan to work with her again!
