052: Lessons Learned from Failure and an Eventual 9-Figure Exit with Chris Lee

from Turnaround Boardroom · host Paul Maskill

Ready to learn from someone who went from zero to a 9-figure exit in less than 5 years? Chris Lee is here today to share his journey and wisdom. Chris Lee is the Founder and CEO of Next Level Pros, an entrepreneurial accelerator fostering business growth and development for small to large sized businesses through education, private equity and venture capital investments. Chris founded Solgen Power, a vertically integrated solar provider, in his garage fall of 2017, later exiting to private equity at a 9-figure valuation… all in 4.5 years. His team was recognized by Financial Times as the 6th fastest growing privately held company in the Nation, spanning to 18 different locations and 1100+ team members. In today's interview, Paul and Chris talk about: The importance of values. Creating a crystal clear 5-year plan and road map. Building everything in your life by design, not default. Your vision has to be bigger than your employees' vision. Building a culture of happiness and joy. Why your customers are not the first or second most important thing in your business.
