Ep. 113 - “Building” The Entrepreneur’s Dream Job with Jim Adams
I often hear budding entrepreneurs tell me they’re going to start a business so they can have other people manage it while they go off and do something fun or significant in their life. My response is usually an internal “eye roll” because it’s not as easy as it sounds. In fact, most business owners never see that lifestyle until they retire.
In the meantime, the average business owner is working a lot more hours than they had dreamed. So, it’s great when you actually get to meet a business owner that has built the entrepreneur's dream job.
Meet Jim Adams. Owner of a very successful business, American Landscape and Structure. So successful in fact that they grew 4x during COVID! But he’s found the business formula that allows him to run the business while he’s on the road with his wife, Cara and two dogs.
He’s also launched into his other passion of consulting small, privately held businesses accomplish the same thing he has. More freedom!
