Bring Mendy Into Your Room
Practical business education (that's not boring or overly complicated) for the people building, running, and growing businesses.
Being great at selling your service/product doesn't automatically mean you know how to run a business. And yet, we expect entrepreneurs and professionals to figure out everything from finances and operations to hiring, networking, and customer retention as they go.
That's where Mendy comes in.
Mendy Applegate brings years of hands-on business experience and real-world education into classrooms, companies, conferences, and communities, helping people understand what it actually takes to run a business.

More Than
A Good Presentation.
We've all attended a presentation that sounded great in the moment, only to walk away wondering what we're supposed to do with the information and how to implement it.
Mendy approaches education differently.
She connects the material to real situations, explains the why behind the work, and gives people practical knowledge they can use to ask better questions and make better decisions.
Her sessions are designed to help audiences:
-
Understand business responsibilities they may have never been taught.
-
Recognize gaps in their finances, operations, or processes.
-
Connect business decisions to their larger goals.
-
Walk away with greater clarity about what to do next.
Her goal isn't simply to inspire people to build something great.
It's to teach them how to build the business capable of supporting everything they've ever dreamed about.
