He is also a Founding Partner of Accounting Solutions of Wisconsin. Lorry is an introvert who has taken his passion for patterns and statistics and turned it into entrepreneurship. \n\nWhen it comes to networking, Lorry believes that building relationships should always come before business objectives, and that approaching networking like a mathematical equation can eventually lead to success. They also discuss how vulnerability opens doors when making better connections and highlight different phases or seasons in networking. Lorry's drive for success is rooted in his insatiable curiosity, a trait that has motivated him to achieve great things thus far. \n\nLorry also emphasizes that sales don't necessarily always equate to profits - a common issue amongst business owners without cash flow due to not focusing enough on what happens in the middle compared to just looking at top-line or bottom-line results. Tune in to hear why building a solid foundation within your business is essential before you start growing it, and discover why minding existing contacts rather than constantly seeking out new ones elsewhere is also crucial.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/6f75c02b-bb89-4669-b6c3-b970666ca13c/Daily-Crown-Podcast-Cover.jpg"}
