Matthew Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca are two successful business leaders. The duo is renowned for its profound passion for helping small businesses grow and expand their operations by guiding them on how to acquire capital. Matthew and Luigi established the Shield Advisory Group, a thriving brand well-known for offering tailor-made solutions for business growth all in one place.
Established to help small business owners grow their companies, Shield Advisory Group has a whole team that can assist business owners with everything from funding, accounting, payroll services, consulting, acquisitions, and more. The goal is to reach these small business owners and secure over $1 billion in capital and tax credits.
“We find that entrepreneurs end up wearing all the hats: CEO, marketing, product development, sales, and so on. Who has time for all that? Our advisors take a personalized approach to provide the support, resources, and tools they need to scale for success,” Matthew and Luigi explain.
Matthew and Luigi have since established The Liquid Lunch Project Podcast, which serves as an arm of the Shield Advisory Group. The idea is to leverage the power of social media to reach more entrepreneurs in America. The podcast has since gathered a solid fan base, with thousands tuning in every week to learn from informed guests, including industry leaders, big thinkers, visionaries, authors, and CEOs. Having such high-profile guests ensures entrepreneurs access to valuable insight and advice. “We like to say it’s a masterclass in entrepreneurship for those who want to get shit done,” Matthew says.
Building a business and guiding it to success demands various skills. You not only need to understand the industry dynamics but also master essential management skills. How you manage your time directly impacts your output, and it’s upon you to have a working formula. Remember, we’re all given the same 24 hours a day, but how you use those hours will set you apart. Give each day a purpose. It could be grinding or unwinding, but whatever it is, make it intentional.
Also, pay attention to who you surround yourself with. You aren’t doing yourself any favors by keeping company with a bunch of “yes men” who don’t challenge you to grow and think outside the box. Remember, iron sharpens iron. It’s also important to have the tools you need to do your job well and efficiently. Invest in what you need for long-term success.
Entrepreneurship can be an isolating experience. You must prioritize spending time with the people you love and care about to remind you that the hustle and hard work are worth it. Matthew and Luigi recommend assembling an ambitious team that believes in your philosophy and dreams.
Their mission is to continue helping small business owners grow and scale their operations. In the next 2-5 years, Matthew and Luigi aim to help 100,000 small business owners achieve their dreams.
“We want to focus on how we’re using The Liquid Lunch Project Podcast and The Weekly to not only educate but also reach more people who can benefit from the services that Shield Advisory Group can offer,” the duo concludes.
