What this episode covers

Steve Gordon is a bestselling author, the founder of The Unstoppable CEO, and the host of The Unstoppable CEO Podcast (now Authority Builder Podcast) and has written over 400 articles on marketing for service businesses. Through his firm, he helps service business entrepreneurs create leveraged marketing systems so they can spend less time on business development, and more time on what matters most. When he was just 28, Steve became the CEO of an engineering/consulting firm -- but he knew nothing about marketing or selling services. Twelve years later, after growing that firm's revenue by 10-times, Steve started his second business, consulting with businesses across 30 industries—including manufacturing, professional services, construction, and consulting—to design sales, marketing, and referral systems for high-ticket/high-trust products and services. He's here to share what he's learned throughout his journey to help you attract your ideal clients and achieve the business goals you've been dreaming of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-fFozRheDA Quotes “What makes us unique is that we take a long-term view to building a business.
