Manage episode 482734673 series 3454057
What Happens to Your Business If You Step Away Tomorrow?
Rick Yvanovich has built multiple global companies over the past 30+ years—but his journey started stocking supermarket shelves. In this episode, Rick shares what it really takes to grow a business that can run without you.
From battling long COVID to redefining his role as a leader, Rick opens up about the mindset shift every business owner must make: stop being the bottleneck. Learn why documenting your systems, aligning your team with core values, and stepping back are essential to building a business with transferable value.
You’ll also hear about Rick’s take on the Japanese concept of “Shinais”—businesses built to last for generations—and why personal purpose and culture matter more than most entrepreneurs realize.
If you’ve ever wondered how to grow your company without working 80-hour weeks or how to find team members who actually fit, this episode is packed with insights you can’t afford to miss.
🔍 Topics:
• How to build business value through systems and leadership
• Why most small businesses are unsellable—and how to fix that
• Creating legacy with the “Shinais” mindset
• Letting go of control without losing your vision
🎧 Whether you're feeling stuck or just ready for more freedom, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to lead differently.
