Meet Ford Saeks | Business Growth Accelerator & Hall of Fame Keynote Speaker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ford Saeks and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ford, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk has been the cornerstone of my journey as an entrepreneur, speaker, and business growth accelerator. From an early age, I understood that success is directly proportional to the amount of calculated risk one is willing to take. My career is a testament to this philosophy.

Embracing Risk in Entrepreneurship
Starting my first business in my teens, I quickly learned that risk is not just a part of the entrepreneurial process—it is the essence of it. The ability to identify opportunities, make strategic decisions, and navigate the unknown has allowed me to found over ten companies, generate billions in sales, and help countless businesses grow and thrive. Every venture involved stepping into the unknown, but it also offered the potential for unprecedented growth and innovation.

Calculated Risks: A Strategic Approach
While many perceive risk as a leap into uncertainty, I view it as a series of calculated steps. Each business decision I make is grounded in thorough research, market analysis, and a clear understanding of potential outcomes. This approach has led to groundbreaking innovations, including three U.S. patents and numerous industry awards.

Risk in Digital Transformation
One of the most significant risks I’ve taken was diving into the world of digital marketing and AI integration. As the President and CEO of Prime Concepts Group, Inc., I’ve championed the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to revolutionize marketing and sales processes. Embracing AI tools and digital strategies was a significant risk, but it has paid off by transforming how businesses interact with their customers and streamline their operations.

The Reward of Risk
Risk-taking has not only been about business growth; it has also been about personal and professional development. Each risk taken has brought new learning experiences, forged resilience, and enhanced my ability to innovate. The willingness to take risks has allowed me to host FORDIFY LIVE, author books, and share my insights through global podcasts and training events.

Risk has played an indispensable role in my life and career. It has been the driving force behind my successes and the lessons learned from my failures. I encourage everyone to embrace risk, not as a gamble, but as a strategic tool for growth and innovation. Remember, the greatest rewards often lie on the other side of calculated risks.

Prime Concepts Group, Inc. is more than just a business; it’s a testament to what can be achieved with vision, dedication, and the right strategies.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend were visiting, we’d dive into the best spots in town. We’d start with a steak at Texas Roadhouse and drinks at Mort’s Cigar Bar. I’d make sure we’d catch a show at The Orpheum Theatre or other venues. We’d hike Sedgwick County Park, visit the Sedgwick County Zoo, and enjoy BBQ at Hog Wild Pit BBQ. We’d shop at Bradley Fair and dine at Newport Grill. For fun and golf at Auburn Hills. I’d love to go on a gravel bike ride on the rail trail, hang out at my pool, and wrap up with breakfast at Egg Crate Cafe, and last-minute shopping at Nifty Nut House. It’d be a week of great food, fun, and local favorites.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Success is never a solo journey. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to have the support, mentorship, and encouragement of many incredible individuals and organizations. Today, I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to a few key influences who have been instrumental in shaping my path.

Mentorship:
Firstly, I want to recognize the mentors who have guided me along the way. Les Brown, Randy Gage, and Tony Robbins have been pivotal in shaping my mindset and approach to business. Their teachings on personal development, resilience, and strategic thinking have provided me with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship. Their wisdom and inspiration have been invaluable to my success.

My Lovely Wife:
My wife has been my rock throughout my entrepreneurial journey. Her unwavering support and belief in my vision have been a constant source of motivation.

Professional Networks:
The Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO) Forum members have been a significant part of my professional growth. The collaborative environment and the shared experiences within this community have provided invaluable insights and support.

The Prime Concepts Group Team:
Lastly, I want to acknowledge my incredible team at Prime Concepts Group, Devan Horning and Crystal Andrus. Their dedication, creativity, and hard work are the driving forces behind our success. Each brings unique strengths and perspectives that collectively propel our company forward. Their commitment to excellence and innovation continually inspires me and elevates our work.

While individual drive and determination are crucial, the contributions and support of others have been equally important in my journey. To all the mentors, family members, professional networks, inspirational authors, and my exceptional team—thank you for being an integral part of my story.
