From Sales Person to Serial Entrepreneur with Andy BaileyAndy Bailey can cut through organizational BS faster than a hot knife through butter, showing organizations the logjams thwarting their success and coaching them past the excuses we all use to avoid doing what needs to be done. He doesn’t ask for what’s easy, only what’s possible, and with his assistance, the possible often expands to include the formerly impossible, as organizations learn that one step at a time gets you a long way when you step up to the challenge every day. After all, as he tells his clients, 100% annual growth is only 2% growth every week. It’s not easy. But certainly possible. Andy learned how to build great organizations by building a great business, which he started in college then, grew into an Inc. 500 multi-million dollar national company that he successfully sold and exited. He founded Petra to pass on to other entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders the principles and practices he used to build his successful enterprise,

If you don’t have discipline in business, you can’t expect your business to grow. In this video, I talk with Monte Wyatt, author of Pulling Profits Out of a Hat. His book is about growing an organization through discipline. Long-term company growth requires consistency, predictability, and stability. This book shows you how to create a business that will outlast you – not just a business you can build and sell, but a company whose processes, systems, and strategies will sustain it for the future.Monte says that building your company doesn’t have to be difficult. Once you’ve scaled your business, it’s ready to grow. But you have to keep concentrating on organizational discipline in business.Build your strategy around your company’s ability to solve a need in the marketplace. Employees and products will come and go, so focus on your company as a whole. Business success takes time and depends on your team’s willingness to adapt to change.Many entrepreneurs are geniuses in their fields but may be at a loss when i
