#427: Rick English on the 5 Things Every Business Needs to Thrive

Get ready to level up from our FIRST SHOW OF 2025! Rick English focuses on:

• If you don’t know your numbers, you don’t know your business
• Why businesses don’t run themselves
• Every business has people, processes, products, profit, and customer experience and they need to work together to drive strong healthy growth
• Becoming a student of sales

Up Advisors was founded and is led by Rick English, MBA. After 22 years serving in leadership roles including, Operations/HR Manager, VP of Operations, COO, and CFO, Rick left his Chief Executive Officer role to pursue his passion of helping businesses grow UP healthy. ​

​Throughout his life and career, Rick has had an inquisitive mind. That inquisitiveness has proven helpful in all aspects of business, but especially when dealing with difficult people situations and driving meaningful change. So naturally, Rick has ensured that at Up, they start nearly all engagements by asking a lot of questions to gauge business, leader, and team member health.
