Instead of seeing it as a setback, he used the moment as a catalyst to build a new company alongside his daughter. That company has since grown into an eight figure business that helps entrepreneurs and real estate professionals build systems for growth, leadership, and profitability.The conversation explores why greatness is predictable, how referral systems outperform expensive marketing strategies, and why profitability must be the focus for every entrepreneur.

His focus on family is such that he co-founded Workman Success Systems with his oldest daughter Brianne to be the kind of place where his family would want to join in and add to the business. He’s succeeded in that: 3 of his 6 children have helped Verl build Workman Success into what it is today.Verl says his greatest success is measured by how he teaches his clients to have balance in their lives as they grow their businesses.
