We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Council Ingram. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Council below.

Council, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Coming up with the idea is so exciting, but then comes the hard part – executing. Too often the media ignores the execution part and goes from idea to success, skipping over the nitty, gritty details of executing in the early days. We think that’s a disservice both to the entrepreneurs who built something amazing as well as the public who isn’t getting a realistic picture of what it takes to succeed. So, we’d really appreciate if you could open up about your execution story – how did you go from idea to execution?

Having a true focus on what you want and the desire to produce that thing that you want …. progression leads to production and production leads to professionalism.. you are not a professional until you can show that you can produce and you cannot show that you’re a producer unless you can show that you can progress… these are the factors which allowed me to turn a thought into reality..

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Having a love for cars and creation allowed me to create a production company and car dealership

The desire to take something that isn’t nothing and evolve it into something- requires a smaller financial investment but an ultimate strong faith factor- which allows me to see what someone else can’t

This is what separate my productions and vehicles from my competitors

I am mainly proud of the fact that I was able to overcome obstacles such self-doubt, discouragement, court cases, bad relationships and destructive friendships.. all be relying on faith and persistence

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

I had to unlearn the lesson that starting over means I have failed..

there was a dealership that I opened and my business associates and I didn’t have the same goals nor work ethic. I was mainly doing all of the work which included me trying to structure everything the way I felt like it needed to be structured (being that I had a long history of successful Dealings in the car business) the disconnect between my business associates ultimately lead me into shutting down the dealership at this point I felt as if I failed (this isn’t the first business or production I started and didn’t translate into how I wanted it to be)

Then through prayer and fasting I realized new dealership was the best thing that could happen. My success and “failures” in the field allowed other business associates to want to invest and be apart of my new venture – we were like minded and they were willling to follow my narrative.

I understood that failure isn’t the end – but failure is actually deception!! Making one think that it’s over – when it’s really the beginning of progress!!

Do you have any insights you can share related to maintaining high team morale?

Align yourself with people and employees that want to see the same end result as you.. you should always exert more energy executing something rather than explaining something..
