How Kim Neeson Built a Business, Sold It, and Found a New Path

What does it really take to build a business, sell it, and then step back into growth all over again? In this episode of Business Her Way, Judi Paré sits down with Kim Neeson to talk about entrepreneurship, leadership, money, legacy, and what it means to start again with decades of experience behind you.

Kim shares her journey through the niche world of court reporting, where she built a successful business over 23 years, expanded it into multiple service areas, and eventually sold it to a national company. She opens up about the challenges of returning to a growth role after leaving business ownership behind, and how trust, reputation, and relationships helped her re-enter the industry.

Kim also talks honestly about the pressure of leadership, the weight of responsibility that comes with entrepreneurship, and how her thinking changed over time. She reflects on learning to let go of perfectionism, empowering team members to make decisions, and building a company that could function without her. The conversation also explores how women relate to money, how stress can affect health, and why protecting your own financial independence matters.

This episode is full of practical wisdom for women in business, especially those building something meaningful while juggling leadership, family, and long-term goals. Kim’s story is a powerful reminder that success is not only about money. It is also about relationships, legacy, and creating opportunities for others.
