More Episodes

On this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio we have a new presentation and discussion that came from a ScaleUp Club meeting that occurred recently. 

 

As you may know, we cover different aspects of running and scaling up your business, and we've had a couple of similar presentations recently:

Action Planning -

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/scaleupradio/Action_Planning_Webinar.mp3

Understanding Differences - 

https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/scaleupradio/Understanding_Differences.mp3

 

This month we are looking at using our Profit & Loss to make better business decisions.

 

Now, it’s understandable if you’re rolling your eyes at this point - maybe you’re not a numbers-based personality, or you think that there’s a real egg-sucking aspect to this, but we believe that if you listen to this episode, take on board the advice and learn from the challenges that other business owners talk about - you’ll put yourself and your business in much stronger position to scale up.

 

There is plenty of ground to cover own this episode, including:

 

 - The two main distortions that many people have when it comes to their Profit and Loss within their business

 -  The benefit of redefining your gross margin, to split out your labour costs

 - Why you should be aiming for 10% as your Break Even point, if you want to experience real growth as a business.

 

You’ll also hear from Stu Avis from Audacious Creative who talks about how Core Purpose can help us make better business decisions. Within his presentation, he talks about playing a video. Don’t worry, the audio is all you’ll need to understand and gain insights from Stu.

 

Plus, there’s a panel discussion with a number of business owners, which will also help you with your thinking and planning when it comes to getting a proper grasp on the Profit and Loss of your business.

 

Again, I mention tools and guides within this episode. You can access these by getting in touch on [email protected]
