I’m highlighting another fascinating Q&A session from our first Wealth & Business Summit, and this time I’m joined by Rick Steele, the founder and CMO of Select Blinds. I ask Rick to break down his process for totally disrupting the window coverings industry and becoming an e-commerce titan. Rick and I talk about his unconventional, but highly effective, scaling method and how to set your business up for a big exit strategy.    He shares his advice for how to create your own motivation, what he considers when bringing on a partner or co-founder, and how he would build himself back up if he lost it all tomorrow. Rick also takes questions from the crowd and covers topics like building a business on a credit card, responding to negative feedback, and mastering backend data analytics on a budget.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How firing himself from his own business led to massive, company-wide growth  Learning to embrace the process instead of rushing to the finish line  The importance of having both negative and positive online reviews  Surrounding yourself with people of the opposite skillset  How Rick balances business, Ironman training, and spending quality time with family  Rick’s experience and perspective on sharing equity with partners and co-founders    RESOURCES Buy your ticket for the next Wealth & Business Summit on November 9-11 in Scottsdale, AZ.
