Steve Meisenheimer is a serial entrepreneur and has owned nine companies.
He started a commercial tree service when he was just old enough to drive. His early success gave him a passion for business and an appetite for more and faster growth. This led him to start or acquire multiple companies that grew rapidly. It was also a season for him to learn the value and responsibilities of effective leadership as some of his companies grew increasingly larger and more successful and some companies faltered and nearly failed.
In 2004, and after growing wise in the ways of business, Meisenheimer began selling his companies and started a consulting firm called The Effective Leader – an innovative consulting and training program that offers the sort of help he longed for the most when he was growing his companies but never found.
Meisenheimer has a great passion for business and for his clients. Having helped countless business owners through a similar process has given him the ability to help business owners get to the next step, know how long it should take to get there and what they should expect as they grow the company of their dreams.
