While there are many moving parts to a successful business, the more complex a business plan is, the less likely anything important will get done.
The Resolve Firm uses a simple but effective prediction equation to scale businesses: The Right Business Model + The Right Team + The Right Teamwork = A Home Run.
They play the role of a non-equity partner in the business, and assist with strategic planning, hiring and developing key team members, and optimizing systems and procedures.
Terry “Doc” Dockery, Ph.D. is one of the top business scaling experts in the country, and he helps companies in the Atlanta region double their revenue and have fun doing it.
He specializes in family businesses, often saying: “There are a hundred ways to make money, but you’ve only got one family. It’s a shame to ruin your family relationships over making a buck, but I see it done all the time.”
In his spare time Doc puts the “harm” in harmonica for several bands around town, and one of his proudest achievements is once sharing the stage with BB King himself.
