093: John Paragon | How To Build a 7-Figure Company With Focus and Communication

Welcome back to another episode of The Art of Communication Podcast! My guest for today is John Paragon. He started, grew, and sold Paragon Trading, which he developed from a small investment into a 7-figure company where he traded over $200 million for his clients. Today, he leads Paragon Consulting, where he helps entrepreneurs build their own companies with a big focus on his 3 C’s: Connecting, Communicating, and Closing.

He walks us through his own entrepreneurial journey, how he built Paragon from the ground up, and the challenges he faced in leading Paragon. John also talks about the keys to business success and his unique strategy in finding, training, and communicating with the very best virtual assistants.
