167. How to “Backfill” Your Position as a Business Owner | Patrick Fingles

You hear it all the time: You must work ON the business, not IN the business, if you want to grow.

But if you’re working ON it… who’s working IN it?

On today’s episode of the podcast, you’ll find out exactly how to put the right people in place to run your business from Patrick Fingles, CEO of two companies – Nu Look Home Design and Leap, a digital point of sale application for home improvement contractors.

Patrick built NuLook from the ground up starting in 2003 to a $20 to $30 Million Dollar a year business. Then, he managed to step out of the day-to-day in Nu Look in 2017 so that he could then start and grow Leap.

Watch for tips from Patrick that you can use today to become the type of business owner with the freedom to start and grow new ventures (or even just take an afternoon off!).
