One thing that all entrepreneurs I know have in common is that we are great "strategists." Give us a whiteboard or a bar napkin and we can map out a million dollar business quickly.
But how many times have YOU mapped out a plan and failed to implement or execute it? (I have dozens of these in my files and it's a very frustrating feeling).
That's why I invited Vinnie Fisher to join me today and discuss his approach to Executing great Strategies and how he cultivates quarterbacks in his business that allow him to do his best while he trains and inspires others to do theirs, growing multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the process.
Meet Vinnie Fisher: businessman, entrepreneur, author, husband, and father
A lawyer by trade, Vinnie practiced tax and business law for 10 years before leaving the field in 2007 to pursue entrepreneurship full-time. From starting and selling a chain of workshop centers helping adults with developmental disabilities to creating one of the largest web hosting companies, Vinnie knows how to start and scale a business.
By the summer of 2014, Vinnie had caught the entrepreneurial bug again and opened Fully Accountable, a full-service accounting firm that provides virtual CFO, bookkeeping, and accounting services for small and medium closely held businesses. Vinnie currently serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Visionary for the business.
Also in 2014, Vinnie opened Site Trust, a website monitoring and security firm that provides 24/7 uptime monitoring, website security seals, and a comprehensive suite of security tools for website owners.
At the end of the year Vinnie wrote his first book, The Best Investment: A Better You (must read)
In the book he details the ups, downs, wins and losses he's faced (including how he lost $30 million) and is back stronger and happier than ever.
You'll hear me dive into the space between Vinnie's ears and discover what he has to say about:
