Phillips Printing — Passionate by Accident

That was 1984. Today, Phillips owns the small Ocala, FL-based company his parents started, serving as president and general manager. Although he “stumbled” into his occupation, he is passionate about his accidental career.

His operation consists of eight employees (including himself, his wife and his sister) and a 4,000-square-foot facility. Although he won’t reveal the annual revenues at Phillips Printing, he notes that profitability runs about 25 percent per year. He has a formula for attaining those financial figures, but, Phillips says, there’s one big reason his business is thriving, not just surviving.
