Meet Bill Reicherter | Serial Entrepreneur

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

Hi Bill, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was to create opportunities. Creating opportunities for entrepreneurs has many benefits. For example, a business creates products to sell, at the same time creating jobs, while also at the same time supporting vendor businesses, which in turn supports many businesses that supply the vendors and so on. Businesses create and support economies and that always stimulates my passion to lead. Another benefit of a business is that it creates new opportunities for budding entrepreneurs who one day will leave you and start their own business. To me, there is nothing greater than having an employee leave to start a business of their own. That’s true success to me.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My passion for people and families is what sets me apart from others because I am someone who really cares about building a team and supporting each other. I am most proud that the businesses that I have created support families and their dreams. When I first started out in business, I wasn’t completely sure of my capabilities, but I knew I was going to create something big, and much bigger than me. I set out to create something that made an impact, not only on the bottom line but on the staff and community. I believe, “A life with purpose is a life worth living”.
I had many challenges along the way. Most of my challenges included financial challenges and challenges with learning how to run a business proficiently. There were many times I couldn’t even pay the bills, but I always overcame these hardships with hard work and dedication. The world of business is not easy, it can wear you down but you have to get back up and persevere. Something that I learned was that in order to survive in business you must have passion and you must turn that passion into learning your craft and showing up every day as the best version of yourself. Never stop learning.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
South Florida has much to offer for locals and those visiting from out of town. For anyone visiting the area, I would encourage them to stay at the Mandarin Oriental, which is my favorite staycation hotel in Brickell Key. For entertainment and exploring, I would plan days in Wynwood, the Design District, Brickell City Center, Bal Harbour Mall, Top Golf, and a professional sports game, depending on the time of the year. I would also recommend any of the local family-owned restaurants to give them a taste of South Florida.

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?
I have always been very lucky in my life to be surrounded by exceptional role models. First and foremost, I was fortunate to have an amazing mother who always believed in me. My mother frequently expressed that I was her idol and this is something that I have always kept in mind and continued to work to exemplify. My father, a Navy vet, was extremely tough on me, very disciplined, and kept my head straight when I was young. My father is also the one responsible for modeling me into a business owner. Additional role models include my football coaches and successful business leaders whom I have come in contact with throughout my journey. My football coaches were relentless in teaching the importance of teamwork and never giving up. The book that changed my life for good was a simple read called, ”Who Moved My Cheese!” The simple but powerful lessons transformed how I thought about life and business. I highly recommend that book to everyone.
