About Me
Hi, I’m Billy Lanford, and I specialize in assisting leaders, entrepreneurs, leadership teams, and motivated individuals who need expertise getting unstuck and aligning their growth with their vision to ultimately achieve awesomeness. My commitment is to help you navigate the complexities of life’s challenges with a clear vision, sound strategy, and emotional support, so that you and/or your company can bring your gifts to a world that desperately needs them.
The world needs leaders like you.Â
After 20 years of devoting my life to growing teams and businesses ranging from small to mid-size, I decided it was time for me to extend my knowledge to a broader audience. My focus is on empowering individuals and companies to realize their full potential and embrace their visions resulting in the largest impact.
I honed my leadership and strategic abilities by training under world-class coaches and participating in top-tier programs. My training and learning led to massive wins and losses, and I have learned from all of them so that losses can be avoided, and the wins can be duplicated. One consistent I have learned is that within a problem there is a solution. It only takes a willingness to be uncomfortable and implement newly discovered strategies.
As a kid I watched the movie “Renaissance Man” with Danny DeVito and I became enamored with the idea of becoming someone who was cultured, educated, and embodied a versatile skill set. This strong desire to become a renaissance man led me to experiment with a variety of life experiences.
Personally, I committed my earlier years to baseball and ultimately left the sport at the age of 23. Throughout that period, I dedicated myself to pursuing excellence and maintaining the discipline necessary to compete at the highest level possible. After baseball, I became interested in installation art, and I collaborated with some amazing artist and held three art exhibitions that challenged the viewers in various ways.
Professionally, I owned a business that successfully sold for four times its initial purchase price following a six-year run. Simultaneously, I found fulfillment in working with adolescent teenage boys who were wards of the state while also coaching college baseball. My personal and professional experiences all led me towards a career in business, where creativity and strategy come together in the most perfect way.
My journey from dedicated athlete to successful entrepreneur, mentor, and coach has been shaped by a deep commitment to personal growth and professional excellence. Through diverse experiences and relentless pursuit of knowledge, I've cultivated a unique perspective and skill set that allows me to empower individuals and companies to unlock their full potential and realize their visions. Guided by the belief that every challenge holds a solution, and every setback is an opportunity for growth, I am dedicated in providing clear vision, sound strategy, and unwavering support to those navigating life's complexities. As I continue to walk alongside others on their paths to success, I am inspired by the potential for others to become the heroes in their own stories. Together, let's embark on a journey towards greatness, and bring your gifts to a world that awaits them. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to connect with you and explore how we can collaborate to make your dreams a reality.
I look forward to talking with you soon.
