05: Catherine Olmert | What It Takes To 3x Your Business

In today’s show, Bill interviews Catherine Watkins Olmert, President, Watkins-Insurance, Agency, Inc. Watkins Insurance is a fourth-generation organization having operations in Virginia and North Carolina.

Growing up, Catherine never intended to join the family business. However, over a period of time, as she learned different aspects of running the business, slowly but surely, she warmed up to the idea of taking over from her father, Steve Watkins someday.

Just because Catherine was buying out her father did not mean that she had it easy. Catherine shares that Steve offered her the same deal that he would have offered anyone else. 

In the next segment of the show, Catherine shares how she navigated this transition, which, unsurprisingly, came with its own share of speed-bumps.

Ably assisted by her husband, Catherine shares how she and her team have managed to grow revenues threefold after assuming charge.

Catherine got a chance to connect with Bill when she was struggling with her new-found responsibilities. After taking care of the basics, Catherine shares how they devised a 5-year and 10-year growth plan to take Watkins-Insurance Agency forward.

Listeners will learn how Catherine managed to achieve her long-term goals through a mix of organic and acquisition growth.

We hope you enjoy this show!
