Philip Williams – Anti Corporate Goal Setting that works

Philip Williams is  a 3-time Inc 5000 CEO who bootstrapped a 17 year old cash strapped company and grew it at 50% per year for 5 straight years. That resulted in simultaneous acquisition offers from two multi-national corporations. Today, he helps business owners build companies with what he calls an anti-corporate goal setting approach.

His business education started at the family dinner table when he was about 8 years old. He was raised by a Barber Shop and Auto Salvage Yard owner then climbed the corporate ladder outside the family business. He’s worked in manufacturing, distribution, engineering consulting, and professional services.

He's bought and sold a couple companies and been through the highs and lows you can only experience through small business ownership. Today, he helps small business owners build profitable and well respected companies through his consulting firm.
