Have your cake and eat it!
This Week@Work, master one strategy to unlock both income growth and capital growth
Author: Lindokuhle Ntombela
No Purpose, No Performance
This Week@Work, if your team doesn’t understand your business’s “why”, you’ll struggle to grow. Here’s how to fix it.
Disruption favours fast movers
Change disrupts the establishment opening opportunity for entrepreneurial action. Be sure to build your business to back bold brave moves.
Invest Money Like Water
This Week@Work, just like watering farmlands that are not ploughed and prepared, investing money in your business when you haven’t laid the groundwork, is going to be wasteful and fruitless.
How do you value your company?
This Week@Work: Is it generating strong and growing revenues? Is it gaining capital value? Can it do both? The answer is yes, and you need to understand the levers of valuation to ensure you can have your cake and eat it.

Hosts & Presenters:
Pavlo Phitidis
As an entrepreneur, Pavlo Phitidis cut his teeth in turnaround companies. Then spent a few years in M&A, which allowed him to conclude 68 transactions before answering a call of duty in a family business, which enabled his parents’ retirement.
Pavlo co-founded Aurik by directly starting, growing and exiting 12 businesses to develop a business growth system, which has worked with upwards of 3,500 established companies in 4 countries.
Pavlo is a passionate advocate for business as a force for good and has brought this to life through more than 1,200 radio segments, two books, Sweat, Scale $ell and Reset, Rebuild, Reignite and hundreds of articles for columns across business and lifestyle titles.
Daily, he works with private business owners, personally and through his company, to resolve growth and value challenges.
Gary Baker
After 10 years in the legal profession Gary changed direction to spend 17 years running and growing CD (UK) Ltd. Initially working with his father, Gary managed the transition to take over leading the business at the same time as finding a way to release value for his father. Gary then sold CDUK through an MBO process to the company’s Managing Director.
Having also gone through the ups and downs of founding an internet start-up business, Gary brings a unique set of experiences to Aurik that can help business owners scale and grow towards an exit or to succeed the business to the next generation.

Beware of White Knights and False Prophets
This Week@Work, to harness digital tools for scale, you first have to get the underlying system right, and then digitise. Failure to do so will cost you time and money.
A customer is not a customer is not a customer
This Week@Work, your customers are not faceless companies, they are individuals, with targets and objectives and unless your messaging addresses their specific KPIs, your marketing attempts will fall flat.
Building blind
This Week@Work, you wouldn’t build a bridge without a blueprint, yet so many business owners believe they can grow sustainably without a clear purpose and plan.
Is it time to break up?
Relationship selling is essential as we start our businesses, but those relationships can become a trap, limiting growth and keeping you central to the sales function.
