Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Anthony Marolt, Founder of Lead Left - Grow Right, LLC, located in Kansas City, MO, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Lead Left - Grow Right, LLC is a business devoted to bringing best practice leadership and process skills based on the Lead Left Model, highly practical skills, and personal accountability. Customers range from individuals at high school, college, and all levels of non-profit and for-profit companies, typically small to medium-sized organizations.
Tell us about yourself
Leadership experiences from the age of 11 through my time at the US Naval Academy as well as nine years of service in the US Navy and 25 years in the corporate world at a Fortune 500 company. Since leadership is about learning specific skills, and because of the serious lack of leadership in our organizations across the country, I have a strong desire to build better leaders, particularly for the younger generations.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Seeing young people not only being open to leadership training and education but actually embracing it and then living it.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Customer development and being able to be found around the many people trying to ply a similar trade. I stand out because my philosophy is "Everyone is a leader. Period. The end.", which is not a traditional stance.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Never say never.
- Try everything to demonstrate you and your product or service is unique.
- Write a book.
