Today I have Patrick Leonard on the show. Patrick is a business entrepreneur in the software and IT space who has successfully grown, scaled and exited two companies that he built, including My IT and Cornerstone, which were full-service IT solutions providers. It was a 20-year period from beginning these companies, building and scaling them, to eventually exiting them — so always remember we are playing the long game!    Patrick later founded a SaaS company called BackUp Radar in 2015 and sold it in 2021, just 7 years after founding it. He is now working on 3 new SaaS apps. Patrick and I dive into the nitty gritty tactics and strategic steps you can take to build a business that will be appealing to investors or buyers.    IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: How to build a business with the end in mind The importance of transparency with your staff How to build a legacy in your business Why it is so important to have the right company culture The importance of implementing systems and processes   RESOURCES Pre-sales for my first book, Wealth Habits, are available now.
