From accountants to chiropractors, and digital marketers to bakers, the idea of starting a business based on your current career can seem like a straightforward pathway to success. But it’s not enough to just excel in your trade - you need to master the complex nuances of the business world too.
Most businesses that are failing have the same problem: they haven’t created an easily replicable (but unshakeable) selling strategy. Someone who has built a whole empire teaching business owners this skill is our guest this week, Michael E Gerber. After his brother-in-law introduced him to Silicon Valley investors over half a century ago, it set off a cascade of career-changing events that left him one of the most sought-after sales consultants in the USA. Since then, Michael’s passion has been helping budding entrepreneurs understand the fundamentals of business and apply them to a wide-ranging kaleidoscope of careers with the same end goal - scaling for consistently successful results that can be reproduced time and time again.
