After a very tough year for a lot of businesses, and a very winning year for other businesses, we want to celebrate entrepreneurs and the champions that make it happen. Today, we're continuing our journey in discovering and celebrating the role of the entrepreneur as we take the time to explore the journey of Dr. William Miller, the owner, founder and CEO of HighPower Data. 

From being in the seminary and becoming a pastor, and then shifting into being an entrepreneur, William recognizes that running a business and serving people depend on a higher power. We’re not in this alone and that we have an additional source of power to make things happen for people.

HighPower Data Solutions is a Minneapolis FileMaker software developer that serves clients locally, as well as around the world.  They provide services for people in England, China, Tanzania, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Denmark, Hong Kong, Canada and the U.S. William has been creating custom data solutions for more than 20 years, using the awesome capabilities of FileMaker Pro. 

In this episode, you will hear:

• How they came up with their business name and how it affects how they relate with their customers and employees
• About the HighPower team and how they take care of business
• The major challenges in the software world
• How to navigate the conversation with people that have unreasonable expectations
• Insights into business growth and scaling
• The 3 “ceilings” in their business they’ve hit that they had to break though
