How Much is
What you Don't Know
Costing You?

Most business owners have never learnt much about finance, and they struggle to make their business perform the way it could. When you understand how the numbers work in your own business, you can solve all these problems:

  • Poor profits

  • Unsteady cash flow

  • Decision paralysis

  • Lack of growth

  • Working long hours

  • Lack of "me" time

Running a business to make it more profitable is not difficult. It just requires a clear understanding of what drives profit, what drives cash flow, and how to go about it. Once you can see clearly what the business is sensitive to, you can make adjustments to your activities, and make it work better.

Most business owners do not have the clarity to do that, which is why they are stuck with poor results, little growth, huge workloads, and no time to live.

How Will Your Life Change When You
Master Business Acumen?

Clarity about Business Success

Imagine what it feels like to know exactly what you have to do, to make the business give you exactly what you want from it:

More profit, Less hassle, More free time, A business you can sell (otherwise, you have bought it!) so you can retire or move on, Faster growth, More money in your hand every month...

Control of the Big Levers

Many business owners work hard, but on the wrong things. Once you realise what the big levers are that control your profit, sales, and cash flow, you can take control. You can put more effort into the things that make the biggest difference, and get way better results.

As long as "all that financial mumbo jumbo" leaves you confused or unclear, this is impossible.

A Better Life

More of what you want...
Time, Money, Peace of Mind, Growth, Value Creation, whatever...

Less of what you don't...
Pressure, Lack, Stress, Stagnation, Feeling Stuck!

3 Things that make it easy to

Master Business Acumen:

1

A Business Game

My business game gives you control of a business, and has you making business decisions (which product, how much to make, how to price, how much credit to give etc.) so you learn from accelerated real experience how things work.

2

Practical exercises

Change one number, and see how that affects the whole business. Practical hands-on exercises that teach you how to improve profit, manage cash, decide when to invest in things, and how to build value in your business.

1-to-1 Coaching

Most people need help to apply new learning to their personal situation, and that is best done one to one. We discuss how you can use the ideas, what numbers to watch to control the business, how best to make the business do what you want it to.

Managing a business can easily take all your time, all your energy, all your attention, and leave you wishing for faster growth, more profit, or less worries about the cash flow. Here is how to transform that experience once and for all:

I know what it is like to run a business that is not performing. I also know what it is like when the business comes under control, takes off, grows fast, and increases its profits.

Whether you are looking for a little peace of mind, or a rapid growth to exit with enough money to retire rich, knowing what makes the business profitable, and how you can manage that, can make all the difference between stagnation and success.

I have taught many business owners, and thousands of corporate managers in the world's largest companies, to understand business finance, to make better decisions, and to take control of their results. You can learn the hard way, by staying in business and trying to figure it all out yourself; or you can take years of the learning curve by working with me.

I help people like you to fully understand what makes a business profitable, what drives the cashflow, and how you can make it do what you want. It all comes down to understanding a few processes that are common to every business, and making that learning personal to your own business. None of it is rocket science, but not all of it is intuitive which is why so many business owners struggle with financial understanding.

Business finance needs very simple arithmetic (no complicated maths) and knowing the right numbers to work with. Everyone can master it, with the right introduction. And it completely changes the way you see the business, and gives you clarity about what will make a difference to the results.

The decisions every business owner face include:

  • Should I hire new staff?

  • Should I offer a new product or service?

  • How can I avoid running out of cash?

  • What would make the business more profitable?

  • Should I invest in equipment?

  • What should I spend on marketing?

  • Should I borrow to grow the business?

  • Should I get investment funding?

  • How do I create a valuable business so I can sell it?

  • How can I get free of the daily hassle, and work on the business?

If you have a good basis of financial thinking, these questions are far easier to answer. It takes out much of the guesswork, gives you a rational basis for action, and helps you learn much faster from what you do.

Here's what to do next:

  1. Watch the short video (if you have not already). It gives you an overview of how I work.

  2. Set a time to talk to me. We can discuss where you are in your business life, what your aspirations are, what you already know about business, and how best to learn anything more that you need. If it turns out that working with me is a good fit, we can make a plan for that. If not, I will do all I can to help you find the help that best fits your needs. I learn from every one of these conversations, so I am happy to give an hour of my time to anyone who is seriously interested in improving their business results, or planning to start a business.
