Patrick Phillips, Founder
Patrick Phillips is a best-selling author, nationally-recognized speaker and entrepreneur who retired at age 52 after having founded a national financial services company generating over ten million dollars a year.
He co-authored Wake Up & Live The Life You Love: Finding Your Life’s Passion with Dr. Wayne Dyer and Mark Victor Hansen. The principles in his newest book, How To Reprogram Yourself for Success, have been used by thousands of people worldwide to improve their relationships, break bad habits and reach their personal and financial goals.
Because of the popularity of his “Million-Dollar Mindset,” he’s been interviewed on dozens of national radio and television programs.
He and his wife, Linda, started filing electronic medical claims in 1987, working from their home, and began licensing their proprietary billing systems to others through American Business Systems, LLC in 1994.
Linda Phillips, Co-Founder
Linda is the "real" founder of American Business Systems, Inc. In 1987, while home schooling her two children, a friend who owned a durable medical equipment company asked her if she could process his medical claims. She told him she had never done medical billing, but she was sure she could figure it out. A week later, she was typing up his claims and mailing them to the insurance companies for payment.
Within two years, she and her husband had built the company to a six-figure income, still working out of their home. Then, by 1994, they had developed a turnkey marketing and training program and began to license others to do medical billing. Linda continues to work in the business, although she no longer does the actual billing. She now spends time in community projects, as well as spending time traveling with Patrick and babysitting her three grandchildren, Ezekiel, Lia and Jonas.
