About Bradley Gauthier

Summary

Bradley Gauthier is a young entrepreneur currently creating a handful of businesses based on state of the art system designs. Businesses include a real estate brokerage, a property management and investment firm, an online development company, as well as various other website start-ups. These businesses will allow Bradley to eventually let the system, management, and employees run themselves with little to no owner involvement. This entrepreneur mindset includes using the latest technology to stay connected anywhere at anytime, as well as providing training opportunities to management and employees to ensure the business is maintained by the absolute best in the business.

Although he creates businesses with the intent of management by absence, Bradley loves interacting and working with others. While Bradley believes that one can learn from every business and social convention, he strives to surround himself with only the most intelligent, self-motivated people and believes in the old quote, “If you flock with turkeys, you will never soar with the eagles”

Background

Born and raised on the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation in Northern Wisconsin, Bradley has grown up with a unique outlook on life. He loves the outdoors and can frequently be found on the lake fishing (catch and release, of course) as well as hiking, running and biking the miles of scenic trails in the Northwoods. Having graduated from Lakeland Union High School with high honors he received the Trustees and Diversity scholarships to attend St. Norbert College, ranked at the time as the number three Liberal Arts college in the Midwest. Bradley finished college in three years with a Bachelors degree in Business Administration as well as a minor in Psychology and an emphasis in Economics.

Starting his career as an Account Manager at a Fortune 200 company in Chicago, Bradley quickly became a top performer. Utilizing his previous experience and the company’s Huthwaite spin selling training he rose to the top of the 4000+ account managers. This sudden success in business, selling and marketing instilled in Bradley that entrepreneurship was within his grasp. In turn, he moved back to his hometown to pursue the world of business ownership and investing.
