In Conversation - Richard Phu Top Five Tips For Redesigning Your Business To Work Without You
“When I first started, the very first meeting I ever had with my manager, he imparted to me this wisdom. He goes, Look, Richard, if you really want to go up the ladder really fast. Just do one thing. Just make your boss's life easier. Right? And I thought, okay, cool. Great. That's easy. And I was doing it for a few years at KPMG. And then I started getting juniors under me.

Richard Phu Bio
Hey! Rich here, I call myself the ‘Geek Master’ to my team because I geek out over systems, processes, and apps! Being in business shouldn’t mean having less freedom in life.

It ran itself allowing me to travel the world, spend time with my family and even to move to Singapore to call home for some time. All of this was possible through building the right systems in place so that I’m not chained to my business. After being asked by so many other entrepreneurs to systemise their business’s (including a company of 40+ remote employees).
