Ep815: Jon Ostenson – I Built a Million-Dollar Business That Never Made a Profit
BIO:Jon is the Founder and CEO of FranBridge Consulting, a 2-time Inc. 5000 company, and he is a top 1% franchise consultant.
STORY: Jon co-founded a marketing and call-center business that appeared successful on the surface, growing to millions in revenue and dozens of employees. However, excessive customization and an inability to charge prices that matched rising costs meant the business never became sustainably profitable.
LEARNING: Profitability is oxygen. Knowing when to admit you’re wrong matters just as much as knowing how to start.
