Early days of struggle
A successful person always has a struggle behind their success, and the same is the case with the CEO of Paycom. In the early days of his struggle, he used to do jobs at different payroll companies, and there he developed the idea of founding Paycom. But due to lack of funds, he had to even sell his house and take a loan from the bank to launch Paycom. The main issue was that the internet was not widely used around the world, but he believed that it would become a necessity for people and continued to work on his idea. Now his net worth is estimated to $2.7 billion and he is one of the self-made billionaires.
Paycom Progress
Richison is the actual reason behind the success of Paycom, and that’s the reason he is the highest paid CEO in US. He has a ten-year performance-based contract with the company. He founded the company and brought innovation to the payroll system this is the main reason behind the company’s fastest growth as Paycom was the first one to introduce such an online system for payroll. Richison himself introduced fully online payroll processing system through Paycom and due to usage of modern technology the company evolved at higher speed. The company was made public in 2014 and, in 2021, its revenue crossed $1 billion
