Pavlo

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.

Hosts:

Johan Taljaard

Johan Taljaard

Before investing in Aurik, Johan worked in mergers and acquisitions, where he saw the scale of the challenge facing business owners who believed they could sell their businesses.

Of the +-250 businesses he worked with over 8 years, 81% of these business owners could not sell their businesses. This corroborated his personal experiences of struggling to sell his own businesses.

Johan was already running his first business while qualifying for his B.Comm in Entrepreneurship. He subsequently started and built several companies across sectors including IT, Finance, Publishing and Digital marketing. For 10 years he ran a financing company that offered bridging and project finance, among other solutions. He spent 2 years in a large corporate, where he was a project manager on a range of FMCG projects. This accumulated experience developed his borderline-obsession with what he calls ‘the end game’: building a business so that it can be sold.

Businesses Don’t Build Themselves

Written by Lindokuhle Ntombela on . Posted in Grow & Exit, Lead generation and conversion, Mindset, Scale & Grow, Week at Work.

A business doesn’t build itself.

It won’t grow on hope and prayer, and Excel sheets will lie to you.

Your team can’t be left guessing. It’s up to you to lead. What are you using to get the job done?

An actionable plan is your blueprint. It defines what to do, when, and how to turn strategy into daily activities that move your business forward.

Without it, you’re not leading – you’re drifting.
