Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business consulting and services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Michael Barg, CEO of Lexington Consulting, located in Lexington, MA, USA
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Lexington Consulting solves business process problems to make businesses and other organizations more effective, productive, and profitable. Customers range from high-tech and manufacturing companies to Government agencies.
Tell us about yourself
I founded Lexington Consulting in 1990 because I saw an opportunity to improve how companies and the Government do business. I am motivated by people who recognize a need to change their business processes but don't know how to do it.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I think my biggest accomplishment as a business owner is keeping my company in the black and surviving for 32 years.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most difficult thing for me is a never-ending need to hunt for new customers. It is a demanding task that never gets easier over time.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Have a reliable source of revenue to cover you when business is slow and there will be slow times.
- Forget about a 40-hour week! That would be a vacation.
- Commit yourself to success no matter what gets in your way.
