In the inaugural episode of the Business Growth Show, host Chris welcomes
Adam Boyd of Trinity Training and Development Group. Chris and Adam reflect
on their 15-year-old acquaintance, discuss Adam's relentless journey from
contemplating owning a business to finally acquiring one, and the substantial
hurdles he overcame along the way. Adam describes his experiences of failed
starts, overcoming discouragement, the importance of persistent networking,
and the complexities of securing financing. He shares insights into his efforts
in consulting, training, and eventually finding a fitting business opportunity in
the training space. Adam also details the blending of his sales training
business, Northwood Group, into Trinity, his emphasis on developing excellent
managers, both in sales and operational contexts, and how these efforts
culminate in sustainable, impactful business growth. The episode provides
valuable takeaways on perseverance, aiming for balanced personal and
professional life, and the extensive teamwork required for successful business
acquisitions and management.
