This podcast is for entrepreneurs, reverse engineering the formula for successful scale, sale, and exit—inspired conversations with world-class entrepreneurs and the specialists who support them.

I came up with that strapline when I launched the pod a couple of years ago, as that’s exactly what I wanted to create—a resource that, if you’re a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, you can tap into and learn from those who were perhaps a few years ahead of you on the journey.

Then, you can apply the lessons learned and the wisdom shared.

In many ways, today’s guest, Josh Keegan, is the perfect guest for the pod.

A chartered accountant and successful entrepreneur, he has started, scaled, and exited several businesses and, in his current role, applies his experiences to help over 100 business owners.

I recently read his book Small Business Big Profit and I loved the way he used his experiences - good and bad to codify precisely how to create a successful business.

During our conversation, Josh shared how facing a financial black hole in his business that could have been terminal forced him to rethink how a business should operate, particularly regarding all-important financials.

He explains why he decided to sell his business just as he’d got it into great shape. It was working like a dream, and he needed to spend only 90 minutes a week working in it.

He breaks down his three-part framework and the specific actions you should take to achieve organisation, structure, and control.

He also shares valuable insight into the right approach to improving your pricing and creating greater profits and enterprise value.

And listen towards the end of our conversation when Josh explains the surprising method he uses to eliminate stress and anxiety—he recommends it to every entrepreneur and guarantees its effectiveness!

He also provides links to many free resources, including frameworks and templates, that you can download and use immediately in your business.

Before we hear from Josh, I'd like to ask you for a quick favour.

As you know, this podcast production is a labour of love. There are no annoying advertisements or walls, but it does take time and effort to create.

So, if you've benefited from listening to the conversations, I’d be grateful if you could head to the Apple Podcasts platform and leave a five-star review and perhaps a few positive words.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr Josh Keegan.
