This is the full transcript of Michelle Niziol's appearance on The BEYOND Podcast, hosted by Aleksandra King. Michelle Niziol, property and finance entrepreneur, founder and CEO of IMS Property Group and 2016 candidate on The Apprentice UK, explains how being fired in week one of The Apprentice became her sharpest business lesson, and how a seven-company property and finance group grew from a conviction formed at 17, when her family home came to the brink of repossession. The conversation covers the week-one firing and the complacency lesson, running businesses since her early 20s, mortgages from 25 thousand to 5 million pounds, the therapy that stopped an eighth company and broke what she calls a founding addiction, confidence versus arrogance for women in business, The Empowering Entrepreneur networking community, and being a present mother and a formidable businesswoman at the same time.
