Even at a young age, Steve Pattie had an entrepreneurial spirit and a dream to succeed. By the time he was just 13, he had started his first business with only his dad's old lawn mower and a vivacious tenacity. To make a few bucks during the summers, he and his first employee (a 9-year old) hustled long hard hours in the humid Ohio heat to keep the lawns in his neighborhood picture perfect. It was in those early sweat-filled days, as he toiled with grass-stained knees, sunburned skin, and a semi-permanent coating of emerald green clippings, when he discovered the first in a long list of the hardest-learned lessons of running a business. Yet in those same summer days, his desire to be an entrepreneur flourished like the thick turf growing beneath his feet. More than 35 years later, what started as a kid's lawn-mowing service has grown into quite the business success story with nearly 100 dedicated people on staff designing, installing, and maintaining award-winning landscapes throughout Northeastern Ohio. Now known as The Pattie Group, this dynamic landscape design firm was built from the ground up with Steve Pattie's bare hands and cultivated with his passion. Currently boasting prestigious clients such as the Cleveland Botanical Gardens, The Holden Arboretum, and countless homeowners and businesses, customers of The Pattie Group recognize the extraordinary quality, exceptional customer service, and knowledgeable expertise that comes standard with each and every project. What's more, Steve Pattie's first corporation isn't his only business success, as he has founded several other dynamic companies and divisions including PG Express and Pattie Group Properties. With so many accomplishments under his belt, curious and inquisitive business owners often wondered how this down-to-earth CEO does it. Many expressed an interest to crawl around inside that constantly operating and idea-filled brain of his in search of his keys to continual business triumphs. That's when Steve Pattie began consulting interested entrepreneurs and ambitious hopefuls, speaking at conventions and business meetings, mentoring young goal-oriented neophytes, and hosting school and business visitations to The Pattie Group. Since then, Steve Pattie's consulting clients have witnessed firsthand just how contagious success can be as their own business' achievements continue to increase at an exponential rate. You have to wonder if he can help you do the same for your business. Perhaps he can help you find the answers you seek.
