I Can Because I Will: Discipline, Fatherhood, and Building a Legacy with Albert Butler
“I can because I will. I will because I can.”
For Albert Butler, CPA, MBA, those words are more than a personal motto. Born from a difficult conversation with his father early in his career, they became a philosophy that guides how he approaches business, leadership, family, and success.
Albert believes accounting is the heartbeat of business. Revenue may be growing and cash may be coming in, but without understanding the numbers, owners can miss the warning signs that threaten everything they’re building.
A resident partner in a national accounting firm, former Senior Vice President of Enterprise Risk Management at Primerica, and author of LIFE: Truth, Love, Loss, Success & Failure, Albert brings more than 25 years of experience advising businesses and their leaders.
Gary and Albert explore why business owners need to move beyond living off the cash balance to understanding their P&L and balance sheet, how to build a business with lasting value, and why planning for an exit means much more than selling a company or retiring.
The conversation also turns deeply personal. Albert shares the contrasting stories of two uncles whose financial decisions left very different outcomes for their families, the flight to Singapore that inspired his book, and the moment his daughter told him he didn’t smile as much as he used to.
Through it all, Albert makes the case that building a successful business begins with something many entrepreneurs overlook: themselves and their families.
His framework is simple: Scale yourself. Scale your family. Then scale the enterprise.
