Ed McLaughlin
Seriously Successful Entrepreneur

Meet my friend Ed McLaughlin. Ed is a New Yorker, and he knows how to be successful in business!! Like everyone, he has had his fair share of business challenges, but he nailed them and man, did he reap the benefits!

Ed and his team built up a highly successful business in the real estate outsourcing industry. To keep ahead of his competitors, Ed scaled the business quickly, and then sold it in 2005, making himself and others extremely wealthy (the sale turned all of his senior business partners into multi-millionaires!!).

After the sale, Ed stayed on as President and CEO of Johnson Controls, the company that bought out his business.

While on his entrepreneurial journey, in 2001, Ed was recognised by Ernst & Young (EY) as an Entrepreneur of the Year – this is a highly prestigious worldwide competition that EY runs every year. As well, his company became an Inc 500 company. So as you can see, Ed is a very successful entrepreneur!

Since 2008 Ed has been an angel investor and business adviser, so he knows plenty about what causes businesses to succeed… or not. We discussed this during our meeting, so listen in to what he has to say.

In mid 2015 Ed’s first book will be published: The Purpose is Profit: The Truth About Starting and Building Your Own Business. Ed uses the principles set out in his book to filter the angel investing he does, so the book will be an excellent resource for entrepreneurs.

The Purpose is Profit will be available on Amazon from mid 2015. If you would like to receive Ed’s “Pre-Release Snapshot of The Purpose is Profit”, which includes “An Entrepreneur’s Motivation” and “The Startup Roadmap”, go to Ed’s website: www.thepurposeisprofit.com and download your FREE eBook. You will then be notified when his book “The Purpose is Profit: The Truth About Starting and Building Your Own Business” is released later in the year.

I hope you enjoy listening to Ed’s fascinating entrepreneurial journey. I promise you, this interview is ‘chocka block’ with business success tips.
