Sean Montgomery's Linkedin Analytics

After college, I had 2 full time jobs - both in huge companies. I became tired of the corporate bureaucracy. So I left and tried a small family business. I was promoted 2 times in my first 2 months and landed as third in charge of the entire organization. Within 6 months, I had turned the business around and they saw their first profit in 3 years. I wrote SOP's for all roles and created KPI's for all departments. It was the first time in my life I saw a clear path to success. However, this isn't a happy story. The owner is unkind and unintelligent. After getting yelled at everyday for 2 years, I had enough. But what I learned was the right and wrong way to run a business, to treat your employees, and grow as a company and a person. During that crazy time of my life, I was working 50 hours a week and taking work home on the weekends. I was reminded of what's important when my super wife had our son. I joined a business consulting network and created my own company. Now I help small and medium size businesses make more money while working less hours. My super wife had another son and we continue to argue about getting a cat. But what we do agree on is that family is tremendously important and we all have the potential to succeed.
