When it comes to growing their businesses, many people find themselves getting in their own way. It starts out fun and exciting, but quickly becomes scary, overwhelming, and frustrating. Either their companies grow so fast that they don’t know how to manage a team or they do it all on their own and end up building themselves a job instead of a business. For managers, they’re often great at the technical aspects of their staff’s jobs, but they don’t know how to motivate and empower them.
Frustration and burnout run rampant at this point and many people ask themselves whether owning or managing a business is even worth it.
Our founder, Danny Wyrwas, knows how hard it is create a successful business. When he started his fencing company, Absolute Vinyl, 15 years ago, he struggled to survive, even with a solid background in leadership and management. Still, he knew success was possible and there had to be a way to get there. So he studied other successful businesses, surrounded himself with a trusted group of advisors, and developed himself as a leader. It was then that his company grew to a million dollar business and he was able to create a lasting, positive impact on his employees, family, and community.
Since then, Danny has been passionate about helping others develop themselves in order to create the business and life of their dreams. Last year, he launched Elevate and its initial course to a small, dedicated group of Billings business owners and managers who have seen positive, lasting results, not only in the way they run their businesses, but in how they work with their family members and the people in their communities.
