Turning a business concept into a successful venture requires constant focus and fearless execution. In today’s episode, Allan welcomes Mike McFall. Mike is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of BIGGBY® COFFEE, one of the fastest-growing coffee franchises in the United States. Mike is the author of “Grind” and “Grow” which are the first two books in a three-book series, which offer practical advice for entrepreneurs looking to turn their business concepts into successful ventures. Allan and Mike discuss ways to help entrepreneurs through this process. Building a successful business takes time, effort, and perseverance. Entrepreneurs must be hyper-focused, goal-oriented and must be prepared to learn from both successes and failures along the way.
