As entrepreneurs, we can often learn more from failures, than from success.
In this insightful episode of Dadpreneurs Rising, Carl Taylor interviews Greg Wilkes, a veteran of the construction industry who shares his transformative journey from early challenges to building multiple successful ventures. Greg's story resonates with many entrepreneurs who have faced setbacks and personal struggles while striving to achieve their goals.
Greg candidly opens up about the pivotal moment when becoming a dad ignited his desire to provide a better future for his family. This led him to make the difficult decision to break off a successful partnership with his best friend, taking on significant debt to buy out his share. However, the rapid growth that followed came with its own set of challenges, including hiring the wrong people, quality control issues, and unreasonable clients.
The episode culminates with Greg's transition into the coaching realm, where he now helps other construction business owners avoid the pitfalls he once faced. His journey serves as a testament to resilience, perseverance, and the power of learning from adversity.
