John Patrick started The Patrick Group over thirty years ago to try and help small business owners understand the truth about what was really going on in their business. John had a background in accounting, but also an incredibly creative mind, so he ended up starting six different corporations in a five year period. Soon after he began the sixth corporation they all came crashing down. It was through this John realized that he did not know it all, in fact he didn't know anything at all about what was really going on in his businesses. This was the beginning of a vision to help small business owners really understand the truth about their businesses. More and more over the years he has found that success is not found in following complicated formulas; success comes from understanding the truth position of your business, and then following solid principles of business. He has been able to help hundreds of business owners do this throught his experience and unique reports and analysis over the course of thirty-five years. Now, with his son David coming on board, John is seeking to expand his services for small business owners in the coming years.
