From Fortune 500 Executive to Successful Entrepreneur: Fred Minnick Shows How It’s Done

Many people who successfully climb the ladder at Fortune 500 companies have trouble converting their skills and knowledge to a small business they start and lead. Fred Minnick got it right. Learn what skills and knowledge honed on larger stages translate to running a family-owned business vs what you can only learn by becoming an entrepreneur. When Fred Minnick Sr. decided to leave the Fortune 500 world so he could build a new life in his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, he leveraged everything he had learned at large enterprise organizations to build his own company. Over time, he refined a formula for success rooted in service, culture, hard work, and careful analysis. The formula has been so successful, he convinced two sons – both CPAs working for major companies in other parts of the country – to move home and prepare to build on his hard work. Heritage Bank.
