Staffing & Recruiter Training Podcast

Rick Watson is the author of “A Firm Worth Building”, which helps professional businesses scale and thrive. He identifies a common problem advice professionals all seem to share. These business owners focus more on performing their professional specialty rather than what it takes to run the business well. Many professional firms, and experts in their fields, like accountants, financial advisors, and attorneys struggle to find “good” growth. Some professionals even look to discard a percentage of their client book every few years, as a way of managing growth. Rick would say this is all backward. When you build a strong business, as the firm grows it gets easier to run, not harder. Rick’s unique experience was forged from growing a firm with only $20 in his savings to managing 1⁄2 billion dollars in his current RIA and becoming the of the National Referral Network and several other businesses which has forced him to be a student of running businesses in the best possible way.
