At one point in time or another each of us have been or are an operator of some sort in the live event industry. Then we saw an opportunity, decided to grab a hold of it with both hands And not let go. This is the journey of going from operator to owner.

We are going to spend time exploring what it means to move from an operator to an owner and how to make the leap, while being successful at running a business.

This will most likely take more than one episode and we're excited to share it with you.

Share this and all the GigReady episodes with your friends! Reach out to us and let us know what you want to hear about and how we can make GigReady more valuable to you.

Business is just that, Business. For the AV industry, we got into to many times because we love it or we saw that their was a huge potential income stream available.

However no matter how we started, we rarely looked at what the end might hold for us and as we grew it was obvious that our businesses would not last without us. 

Can we change that and is it possible to make a business that will outlast us?

It is and Tom Stimson is going to share with us how to do it.

Tom Stimson is President and Founder of The Stimson Group.
