Welcome to Episode 217 of Building My Legacy.

 In this podcast we talk with Rom LaPointe, executive coach and founder and CEO of Capricorn Leadership. Having served as the CEO of ten privately held companies, Rom brings a unique perspective to the coaching he provides for business leaders and their teams. He shares with us what he learned from the six companies in which he had a positive exit and, even more important, from his three failures. His biggest learning: You can have a great idea, but you won’t succeed unless you assemble the right team to execute on that idea. He also talks about creating a legacy as an entrepreneur and the importance of influencing others in a positive way.

 

So if you want to know:

  • Why beginning entrepreneurs need to say “no” to some opportunities
  • The key traits of a healthy team
  • Why entrepreneurs should “build to sell”
  • How meeting quarterly with your team can “stop the hamster wheel”
  • Tips for choosing a business coach
