Bio:

Dr. Ruth Mannschreck, dentist, business strategist, and founder of Shoreline Strategies LLC, has over 30 years of experience in private practice. After a life-altering experience with her daughter’s NICU stay, she reimagined her business, reducing her hours while boosting revenue. This shift inspired her to develop a streamlined business model centered on efficient systems, high-performing teams, and a thriving company culture. Now, through her programs Business Lifestyle By Design and Prep It To Sell, Dr. Ruth helps entrepreneurs build scalable businesses and ensure they sell for maximum value when the time is right. When she’s not coaching and mentoring small business owners, Dr. Ruth can be found engrossed in a good book, walking her two dogs, taste-testing new wines, or paddleboarding around a lake in Northern Michigan.
