  • Who Not How & the Power of Peer Mentoring

    In this episode, Matt chats with Paul Abel, President of Elite Ventures and PosterElite. Over the last several years, Paul has quickly grown his company, all while reducing his headcount and improving his bottom line. He shares how in this episode.

    Paul has been an entrepreneur for many years. He has seen his own family struggle with compliance issues in their business and decided he is not going to allow the same issues in his business.

    He worked with a project manager to streamline his business processes. Through hiring this project manager he was able to reduce the number of employees to complete a project, streamline the entire process, and see the qualitative results. He also found extreme value in the networks he has built through many different network groups.

    Paul discusses his journey starting as a sweat equity partner in his family business, to working with payroll peer mentoring groups and business coaching groups. He found a way to simplify compliance issues for his business as well as other payroll companies.
