Practical Responsibility
Not Just Advice From the Outside
Much of that experience came from actually being responsible for businesses himself.
Shawn has started his own businesses and dealt directly with what business owners deal with every day: finding people, hiring them, training them, firing when necessary, generating sales, marketing, managing cash, controlling expenses, organizing work, solving personnel problems, handling customers, setting priorities and figuring out what to do when something simply isn’t working.
He has experienced business from different sides — as an owner, executive, manager, salesperson, marketer and consultant.
