UNLOCK THE HIDDEN MARGINS - EASY MONEY MISSED BY MAJORITY

BEAT THE COST OF LIVING CRISIS

If you are in business, you have a margin, and every margin needs a master.

Most entrepreneurs focus relentlessly on sales and as a result are building businesses that will never make any money or provide the income they want for their desired lifestyle.

Successful entrepreneurs understand that in order to have a successful business they need to master their margins, and turn as much revenue into bottom line profit as possible!

Mastering your margin is not easy, however there are some very quick wins which will result in increasing your profitability substantially.

In this episode, we dive into 6 hidden margins that EVERY entrepreneur has in their business. Tuning into this one will likely be the MOST lucrative 30 minutes of your week.

BALANCE SHEET BLUEPRINT - EVERY HUMAN ON THE PLANET HAS ONE

WEALTHY ENTREPRENEURS DON'T BUILD BUSINESSES, THEY BUILD BALANCE SHEETS

Most entrepreneurs are scared to look at the balance sheet. It seems made up, theoretical and a report that holds now value however EVERY entrepreneur needs to learn this report and master it.

In fact, if you have a single asset (including cash) or a single debt, then you have a balance sheet, but even your accountant does not understand why this report is useful to you and how you can use it to build wealth..

This will change the way you think. Shift from building a business to building a balance sheet.

In this episode we go through the basics of the balance sheet, how it relates to your other financials as well as how you can actually use it to provide you MASSIVE value in your business and your life.

If you are in business and you have never used a balance sheet before, this will give you all you need to understand it and get one up and running. If you have been using a balance sheet for years, this will deepen your understanding and your ability to generate wealth in your business.

The most undervalued, best kept secret in wealth creation is only a podcast away! Enjoy.

I HAVE A SPREADSHEET FOR THAT

"FOR EVERY ONE OF OUR FAILURES, WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET THAT LOOKED AWESOME" - SCOTT D COOK

A world class business cannot be run on spreadsheets.

Tsen is a very successful entrepreneur and business owner and loves a spreadsheet but he realised that even his master 52 column spreadsheet has limitations and cannot keep up with his business incredible serviced accommodation and mentoring business.

Only he could operate the sheets, they were prone to human error, they did not provide real time information for him to run the business.

The aim of the game is to move from managing your business yourself on spreadsheets to signing off a high value set of monthly accounts.

Tsen now has a world class finance team, monthly performance reviews, and a cloud based accounting system. He has gone from spending hours updating spreadsheets himself to sitting at the top of the pile and just signing off the numbers his world class team has produced for him.

Spreadsheet to Sign Off…

If you are getting bogged down in spreadsheets and never feel like you have a grip on your finances or you feel there could be something better out there, listen now.

The exciting part is, this is just the start! If you have already built a great business without financial clarity, imagine what you could do with it

EGO TO ECONOMICS - 7 YEARS OF CHAOS TO CLARITY IN 1 MONTH

MORE REVENUE DOES NOT MEAN MORE PROFIT

Who is driving your business, you or your ego? Most entrepreneurs spend each year chasing more revenue than the last. More revenue means more problems, more working hours, more stress, and often less drawings.

The difference between the entrepreneur that makes money and the one that doesn't is a business model. How will your business actually make money? Shift from Ego to Economics.

In this episode we speak with Kieran, video producer and entrepreneur as he shares his journey of transitioning from napkin calculations to a WORLD CLASS business model and FUTURE FORECAST™.

For 7 years Kieran wrote a number on a whiteboard and hoped that it came through to fruition. Guess what? It never did. He now finally has a business model and a forecast printed on his desk. He has clarity, and is more fired up than ever before!

This year, without a doubt, will be his most profitable on record, not due to growth but because he knows exactly what he needs to do to rejuvenate his bottom line! This one's for you if you want to feel fired up again and have a record breaking financial year.

Best year on record. Who doesn't want that!? Now or Never!
