Is Your Banker Worthy of Being in Your “FAB 5”?
Entrepreneurship today is a team sport. The most successful entrepreneurs understand that they do not know everything and surround themselves with what many call their “Fab 5”. The 5 strategic advisors, who help the entrepreneur define their goals AND help them along the path of execution. For many entrepreneurs – the Fab 5 includes their banker. After all, most bankers say they want to be your “trusted advisor”; but do they deserve to be in your Fab 5?
For many reasons, today’s bankers are more of a salesman in a suit; than they are a trusted advisor. For many business owners, bankers are thought of an old cartoon character – sitting behind their desk, with a fat cigar, judging the worthiness of a loan request and saying “Yes” or “No” on a whim. They claim they want to be a trusted advisor, but are more concerned with getting the next sale than they are bringing relevant, trusted, actionable value. The truth is that most bankers are hardworking, smart, well-meaning people – we have just lost our way as an industry.
Being an entrepreneur is one of the most challenging and difficult things that you can do. Creating something out out nothing and fulfilling your God-given call is a noble, worthwhile, and exciting task. But you deserve a banker that proves themselves to be worthy of membership in your Fab 5. A banker is more interested in helping you develop a strategic banking relationship instead of being just a preferred vendor.
That is why The Entrepreneur’s Banker brand was created.
My God-given call is to work with thousands of entrepreneurs, in different industries, at different points along their strategic path. This experience allows for a unique perspective that can be leveraged for the benefit of entrepreneurs everywhere. Plus it allows the opportunity to think more like an entrepreneur and less like a banker, as I strive to bring value.
The goal of this website is to guide and encourage entrepreneurs to Increase PROFITABILITY, Develop a STRATEGIC BANKING relationship, and Support their Long-Term VISION.
