Today, our host Bob Gauvreau sits down with Ken Day, founder of On Business Chartered Professional Accountants, to unpack his journey from employee to entrepreneur. Ken shares how a pivotal moment early in his career sparked the courage to leave stability behind and build a business rooted in trust, mentorship, and long-term vision. Ken discusses how he scaled On Business by focusing on people over profit — empowering his team, encouraging innovation, and ensuring he worked on the business, not just in it. His story highlights how leadership and culture drive growth, showing that success isn’t built through hustle alone but through strategic thinking and genuine care for people. As the conversation deepens, Ken reflects on succession planning, legacy, and the emotional shift of stepping back from the company he built. His insights remind business owners that entrepreneurship is a journey of resilience and purpose — one where lasting success comes from balancing hard work, heart, and vision.       Episode Highlights: 00:00 Welcome to The Wealthy Entrepreneur Podcast 00:42 Meet Ken Day: The Founder’s Legacy 06:12 The Epiphany That Started It All 13:20 Building a Business from Scratch 17:13 The Bootcamp That Changed Everything 31:15 Legacy, Leadership, and Letting Go 40:00 Lessons from a Lifetime of Entrepreneurship 47:00 The Founder’s Role After Retirement     About the Guest:Ken is a Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner who has been helping business owners and individuals navigate complex financial decisions for more than four decades.
