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

Hi Chris, what role has risk played in your life or career?
In considering risk, it’s essential to acknowledge its omnipresence in both personal and professional spheres. Personally, I’ve come to recognize that risk is an inherent component of growth and progress. Reflecting on my own journey, I experienced a significant shift in perspective following the failure of a business venture in 2022.

The failure of that business served as a profound lesson, prompting me to reassess my approach to entrepreneurship and risk management. Initially, the setback felt overwhelming, but it ultimately became a catalyst for growth and introspection. I realized that while failure is a possibility, it doesn’t define one’s capabilities or potential for success.

This experience reshaped my mindset regarding risk in business. Rather than viewing risk as something to avoid at all costs, I learned to see it as an inherent aspect of innovation and advancement. Embracing calculated risks became integral to my strategy for growth and scaling.

Moreover, I came to understand that risk exists in every facet of life, not just in entrepreneurial endeavors. Whether it’s starting a business or simply crossing the street, there’s an inherent level of uncertainty involved. What matters most is how we navigate and mitigate these risks, rather than allowing fear to paralyze us.

Ultimately, I adopted a more proactive approach to risk management, focusing on thorough planning, strategic decision-making, and adaptability. By acknowledging and embracing risk as an inevitable part of the journey, I’ve been able to move forward with confidence, recognizing that failure is not the end but rather a stepping stone towards greater resilience and success.

What should our readers know about your business?
My journey in entrepreneurship has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with each experience shaping my understanding of business and fortifying my resolve to help others succeed.

The failure of my business in 2022 was a pivotal moment that forced me to confront harsh realities and reassess my approach. Upon reflection, I realized that while I had a passion for my industry, I lacked the necessary expertise and strategic planning to navigate the complexities of running a successful venture. However, instead of allowing this setback to define me, I chose to channel my learnings into a new endeavor aimed at empowering others.

This realization sparked the inception of Lvl Up Consulting and Marketing. Driven by a desire to help business owners in the construction and home services sectors overcome similar challenges, I established a firm dedicated to providing tailored solutions and strategic guidance. What sets us apart is our deep understanding of the industry coupled with a personalized approach that prioritizes the unique needs and goals of each client.

Our journey hasn’t been easy. Building a consultancy from the ground up requires perseverance, resilience, and a willingness to learn from past mistakes. We’ve encountered numerous challenges along the way, from navigating market fluctuations to establishing credibility in a competitive landscape. However, each obstacle has served as an opportunity for growth and refinement.

Through it all, the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is the importance of adaptability and continuous improvement. By staying agile and open to feedback, we’ve been able to evolve our offerings and better serve our clients’ evolving needs.

At Lvl Up Consulting and Marketing, our mission is simple: to empower businesses to reach their full potential. Whether it’s through strategic marketing initiatives, operational optimization, or leadership development, we’re committed to helping our clients thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Our story is one of resilience, passion, and unwavering dedication to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
