“We are encouraging others to come together. We believe in business we need to let people have a voice, to empower them. To ensure that we honor them as much as we can. ”
What is Wade’s story?
When he graduated from college, he had two goals:
The first was to start and own his own business.
The second was to make IT innovation more efficient.
And that’s exactly what he did.
he started his own IT business with $100,000. And was able to scale to nearly $40 million before exiting successfully.
How did he do it?
Like all good things, it started with a vision.
For five years, he incubated his idea inside a sister company until it was ready to launch. The incubation phase was crucial. During that time, I happened upon a system that would transform my business for years to come.
When he heard about Rockefeller Habits (now Scaling Up) from Verne Harnish himself, he knew right then and there – this was exactly what I needed to help me run my business. Wade put the principles to work immediately.
And the results were remarkable.
From $100,000 he scaled to $3 million and 8 employees. When they eventually plateaued at $10 million, he returned to Scaling Up. And it worked again.
Using this system, Wade gained over 80 employees and nearly $40 million in revenue.
That’s when Wade realized he could do more than run a business. He knew how to scale. He knew how to create growth.
Creating jobs and hiring gave him energy. Forming an outstanding team of people that he could work with gave him a feeling of accomplishment.
