Have you managed to build a successful small business, but can’t see the way to expand it to the next level?

IS IT A REAL CHALLENGE TO FIND, MOTIVATE AND KEEP THE PEOPLE YOU NEED – AND PERSUADE THE ONES YOU DON’T NEED TO MOVE ON? ARE YOU UNSURE HOW TO DEVELOP THE PLAN THAT WILL TAKE YOU INTO A GREAT FUTURE?

If this sounds like where your business is right now, this book is what you’ve been waiting for.

It might not feel like it sometimes, but you’re not alone. The world’s top business leaders have all been where you are – sometimes just a few years ago. They all reached a point where they needed to change the way they did things to push their companies into a higher league. If you’re good at what you do, it’s possible to build a thriving small business on your own. Turning that into a medium-sized business needs some different skills, though, and when you’re already busy it can be hard to develop those skills.

In a career going back four decades Brod Ivory has seen a lot of companies hit a turnover of around a million dollars a year, then struggle to grow beyond that. More importantly, he’s worked with many of them as they break out and expand to their full potential. He knows what works and what doesn’t; he’s learned from experts, and refined those lessons with the results of his own huge experience. Combining hands-on Advisor’s knowledge with formal professional qualifications, Brod has become one of Australia’s most talented business boosters.

Brod believes that the key to greater business success is to move beyond managing and become a leader. You’re great at running the company you’ve created, but how are you at the things that need to be done to take it onwards and upwards? Things like these:

• Recruiting the best people for your team – then training and nurturing them so they deliver peak performance.
• Mastering your finances, so you can turn bookkeeping into a growth engine.
• Turning your Marketing into an investment.
• Building a customer service operation that will have profitable clients queuing outside your doors.
• Setting achievable long-term goals, and reliably achieving them.
• Being the leader you’ve always known you could be.

These are all things the average business consultant can’t teach you, but if you really want to go places you need to master them. Brod Ivory has – and in his ground-breaking new book, Lessons From A Chief Business Advisor, he’s condensed all his skills into a business guide that’s a roadmap for your success.

Brod Ivory is a Business Advisor to ambitious business owners wanting to scale their companies.

OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES, HE HAS HELPED HUNDREDS OF FAST-GROWING COMPANIES NAVIGATE THE SOMETIMES PERILOUS JOURNEY OF BUSINESS GROWTH.

With a career that’s already spanned over three decades, Brod has seen it all. He’s worked with businesses that range from local tradies to giant multinationals, at every level you can imagine. His work has taken him into practically every sector of the economy both within Australia and around the world. Along the way he’s watched people try a lot of things that worked, and a lot that didn’t.
