In this re-release, learn how Ron Austin started his career at the former Big Eight firm Arthur Andersen & Co, and decided if he had to work this hard – he’d rather work for himself! With unwavering support from his wife, it was a leap of faith that paid off with a lot of hard work. What a badge of honor it was to cold call clients and develop a relationship that comes to fruition. In keeping with the changing times, from cold calling to having staff work remotely, Ron talks about how culture is pivotal to success. Including the challenges of keeping the younger workforce engaged and happy. Including support for working remotely yet trying to impart the importance of the hands-on experience of being in the office, where everyday conversations are some of the best learning experiences.
