Hi, I’m Bryan. The Ethical Business Builder(EBB) in training. Why in training? Because I have yet to build a business that allows me to retire and live off of residual income or consulting fees and that, of course, should be every business owner’s goal. As of this writing I’m in the process of “building” 3 businesses and buying a 4th.

For as long as I can remember I’ve loved business. My greatest fascination stems from a joy in dealing with people in all of the unique ways that are necessary to succeed. You have to motivate employees, build trust with prospects, service customers, entice potential customers with marketing, organize, manage, teach, and learn to name a few. All of these ways to help all of the “stakeholders” in your business (i.e. employees, customers, vendors, shareholders, and the community) and you still have the ability to create a residual income from it. What can be more rewarding than that? With that little intro, here’s a brief review of who I am.

Graduated with Honors from Kettering University in 2005 with a BS in Mechanical Engineering.

Since June 2002 I’ve worked as a Systems Specialist for a software company to support, sell, market, service, and train. In that time I’ve had the pleasure of evaluating nearly 100 small businesses onsite in 20 states and Ontario. I’ve evaluated probably twice that many remotely and its occurred to me through those and other experiences that I have a few unique talents. I point these out not to brag, but simply to give some credibility to my writings. Dozens of business owners routinely ask me for advice and here are a few reasons why.

1. I can read, absorb, process, and APPLY information at an amazing rate. Bob Reiss, the only billionaire I’ve ever known personally, indirectly challenged me to keep up with his pace of a book a week.

2. I can see the big picture of business processes quickly and poignantly and quickly visualize all of the necessary small steps as well as the processes, procedures, training and follow-up that needs to occur to realize the “big picture”.

3. I’m an engineer who is just as capable writing as I am making spreadsheets. I’ve been published in 3 different International magazines a total of 9 times since 2004. The magazines regularly request more content.

4. Jeffrey Fox in How to Become a Rainmaker: The Rules for Getting and Keeping Customers and Clients talks about one overwhelming quality of salespeople who make more than $250k per year. Their ability to implement new ideas immediately. Though I don’t make that much money selling anything and don’t plan to ever be a “salesman” in the sense Fox refers to, that trait I certainly possess.

So even though I’ve never fully built an Ethical Business myself. With the help of my many mentors and resources, I hope that together we can learn some of the best ways to build ethical businesses.

To Your Success, Bryan
