Rick Sapio on the Power of Self-determination and his New Project, One Billion Entrepreneurs – Episode 47
Rick Sapio truly knows business. With over 40 years of experience, he has invested in more than 80 companies, started over 20 and currently owns 35. His business models are designed to help any entrepreneur create a strong set of values that will guide major decision making practices in their company.
Rick has created his own “business lens” to help others achieve their goals, grounded in three simple principles of simplicity, probability and leverage. Applying these best practice strategies when making major decisions within the company is essential to long-term prosperity.
Another important aspect of business for Rick lies in values. Having a unified team with the right set of core values in place is fundamental to business success. A great question to ask when executing business plans is: Am I making this decision based on money, or am I making this decision based on values?
