SUMMARY:M.I.L.L.I.O.N.S. : 8 Pillars of Focus for Every Business
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nBeing a business owner feels like jumping off a cliff and building a parachute on your way down.\nIf you’re a business owner\, you know exactly how that feels. It’s exhausting; it’s overwhelming; and often you’re not sure which fire to put out next.\nAnd how many times have you heard: “You need to work ON the business\, not IN the business”?\nBut seriously\, what does that actually mean? \nTo break it down\, our speaker is Krish Ravipati of Accounts Advantage who will be sharing the 8 Business Essentials Every Business Owner Needs to Work ON the Business. \nThis session is based on Krish’s own strategy\, M.I.L.L.I.O.N.S\, a framework he’s applied not just to his clients\, but also across his own group of businesses with a combined turnover of over $10 million annually. \nA bit about Krish: He’s a CPA and the Manage Director of Accounts Advantage\, a 10-member Bookkeeping and CFO Advisory firm\, and Dunk Agency\, a digital marketing firm with 8 team members specialising in paid social media advertising. He also sits on the board of 5 other million-dollar businesses. \nAs a Board Member\, Krish’s role is to run monthly Board Meetings\, bring Managing Directors into the room\, and provide both a high-level strategic view as well as practical insights into day-to-day operations. \nIf you’re looking for someone who walks the walk\, understands the real challenges of running a business\, and is qualified to speak on business strategy\, this is a session not to miss. \nThis talk will be perfect for business owners preparing for the new financial year\, especially those who haven’t yet put these foundational pillars in place \nRegister today as seats are limited! \n
