What if your business does not have a Growth problem? What if it has an execution problem?
Many entrepreneurs are doing everything they were told to do. They are posting content, networking, appearing on podcasts, refining their offers, working long hours, and chasing the next opportunity.
But despite all that activity, the business still feels stuck. Revenue is inconsistent, profit is thinner than expected, and the founder remains at the center of every important decision. Sound familiar?
My guest today, Marcia Riner, helps business owners address that exact problem.
Marcia is a Business Growth Strategist, Profitability Expert, CEO of Infinite Profit®, and host of the Profit With A Plan podcast.
Her work focuses on helping established business owners connect strategy, marketing, revenue, and execution so growth becomes measurable and sustainable.
She speaks about stalled growth, the gap between visibility and revenue, and why great strategies often fail because they are never fully implemented.
Today we’ll talk about the difference between being busy and being profitable, why founders often become the bottleneck in their own companies, and how entrepreneurs can move from ideas and effort to execution and results.

Mike Konrad entered the electronics manufacturing industry in 1985. Four decades later, he continues to dedicate his career to advancing reliability within the industry. In 1992, he founded Aqueous Technologies, an equipment manufacturer serving the electronics sector. Becoming an entrepreneur was never part of his plan, he simply had a passion for a product he designed. When his employer declined to build it, he realized the only way forward was to create it himself.
Mike entered business with strong technical skills but no business acumen. His early assets were ego, passion, arrogance, ignorance, and above all, a poor assessment of risk. Ironically, those traits proved useful in the beginning, ignorance really was bliss. But as his company grew, Mike recognized that those same traits could lead to its downfall. To survive, he had to transform himself, developing business acumen, adopting sustainable strategies, and evolving from reckless enthusiasm into purposeful leadership.
Today, with 40 years of industry experience, Mike shares both his technical expertise and his entrepreneurial journey, offering lessons from personal and professional growth, the near-misses that almost derailed him, and the strategies that carried him forward. He is also a strong advocate of “conscious marketing”, moving beyond traditional chest-thumping advertising toward education-driven authority building. By offering value through knowledge rather than hype, Mike helps organizations connect with a new generation of decision-makers who prefer independent research over bold claims.
