I am pleased to have selected Mr. Robert Brueckman of Angel Management LLC based out of Annapolis Maryland as my Entrepreneur ENT601 Innovations Subject Matter Expert. The interview was created using ZOOM which worked so very easily to produce a MP4 file. The entire presentation is just under 45 minutes long. Unfortunately there were a few times within the recording where I did not seem to be successful in creating a video file. Video does appear at least 98% of the time.
Here are a few notes on the interview with Mr. Brueckman. Bob was a management consultant for 25-30 years primarily in the technology field. His goal was to align business objectives and business needs with Oracle software. He also has been in business twice before, once as a CPA and another time with a partner in another firm. Over those years he has seen business from every angle and felt that it was time to go into business for himself again.
Bob was very clear near the end of the interview when he said “Be prepared in the early years for a lot of work. This business is not an easy one to start. And, whatever you do, you better be dedicated and you better want for it to work”
Earlier in the interview Brueckman stated that he bought into a franchise but there are good and bad parts of that decision He did not get into specifics but I got the impression that he is not a fan of franchising. But later he did mention about the support that he got as a result of being a franchisee.
In the end his goal as a business owner is to “work himself out of a job”.
I hope that you enjoy this interview with Mr. Robert Brueckman, Owner of Angel Management.
