There's only ONE THING that causes companies to go broke and in this week's podcast I explain what it is, and give you a tool to prevent it.

This episode was inspired by an article I read about more and more small businesses going broke in the United Kingdom. These companies are missing this one critical tool that would have prevented it.

It'll only take you about one hour per week to implement and it's the closest thing you will get to having a real crystal ball that can predict your financial future.

Financial stress ruins people's lives - this will help you eliminate it. This tool will remove all of the fear and uncertainty.

On this week's podcast we discuss the number one skill that impacts your profits.

It’s massively high leverage and arguably the best possible strategic use of your time.

What is this skill? The ability to make better business decisions.

Why is it number one? Because the majority of business owners are wasting their time trying to fix symptoms rather than the root cause.

That’s why most business owners are busy fools.

In this episode I share my key to determining the root cause of your issues and share some stories as examples to show you how you can apply this to your business.

This week's podcast is an interview from 2017 that I did with marketing genius Jay Abraham.

If you haven't listened to this yet you're in for a treat - and if you have it's worth another listen.

I interview Jay about how to scale and boost the value of businesses as well as explore his philosophies of growth. This is a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion that will reward repeat listening.

We recently held the 2023 Ultimate Entrepreneur contest where 6 of the fastest growing businesses in the UK competed for the title and a large cash prize.

Among these elite business owners emerged one common theme that helped them accelerate their growth...

Relationships.

This inspired me to share my top strategy in this week's podcast for identifying and building better business relationships.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.
