In this episode of Small Business, Big Visibility, Rick English shares insights from more than 30 years in leadership, including his experience as a CEO, CFO, and COO. After exiting his company, Rick launched UpAdvisors to help business owners who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward.
Rick breaks down his five core business buckets people, process, product, profit, and customer experience and explains why losing balance in just one area can derail growth. He also discusses common patterns he sees in struggling businesses, the power of networking, and how owners often get trapped doing what they like instead of what the business needs.
You will also hear how Rick guides clients through deep financial reviews, hiring challenges, leadership development, and the path toward real freedom in their business. He introduces his Business Freedom Mastery program, built to help owners create balance, clarity, and long term sustainability.
If you have ever felt buried in your business or unsure which problem to fix first, this conversation offers clarity, perspective, and encouragement from someone who has helped more than 175 owners regain control and move forward.
