Rick Sapio: Designer and Lead Instructor of BusinessFinishingSchool.com

Rick Sapio has made a life out of operating successful businesses. He has been the founder of more than 20 businesses and worked in the investment industry after he graduated from university. Through his decades of work as a successful business creator and operator, Richard Sapio developed and applied 12 principles that he calls his "12 Foundational Principles of Business."

Richard Sapio teaches these 12 principles in the first year of his business program called Business Finishing School. The program is a four year-long program with the first year taking a month to focus on a principle. Richard Sapio breaks down the months' work into modules. The first twelve are:

Values-Based Decision Making

Life and Business "Catalyzing Statement: and Management-by-Objectives”

Using Rhythms to Amplify Time and Success

New Profit Paradigm

Business Entity Structure to Leverage Long-Term Wealth

Lessons from the Billionaire Mind

The Battleship Principle

Simplicity on the Far Side of Complexity

Rules-Based Business Decisions

How to Consistently Hire and Attract Talent

The Stop Doing List

Lifelong Investing Success

Richard Sapio has used these 12 principles repeatedly in his own life. One of the business passions Rick Sapio had was taking struggling or failing businesses and turning them around. He made these successful "turnarounds" utilizing these principles. Richard Sapio hopes that with a true understanding developed through Business Finishing School, other entrepreneurs will be able to apply them just as successfully.

In addition to the regular coursework and video lessons, Richard Sapio hosts his "Live Business-Mastery Intensive Boot camp" in Dallas, Texas. The boot camp allows Richard Sapio to meet his student base in person while delving into the core principles of the Business Finishing School program. The boot camp also allows entrepreneurs to meet with other entrepreneurs to share their success and share their stories.
