G’s journey started as a young business owner in a low margin business where he felt stuck because he didn’t have the margins or the resources to achieve his profitability goals.
G went on a journey where he started to optimize resources and ultimately had an automation epiphany where he realized that there were manual processes in his business that he could automate. G went on to create businesses which require very little of G’s help long term. He now focuses his time on creating new businesses and looking for new opportunities to create innovation.
