Three Destinations Every Business Owner Must Set

Three Destinations Every Business Owner Must Set Webinar 17 September 2026

Join a 90 minute working session for a non-tech approach to digitising your business. 

Three Destinations Every Business Owner Must Set 

Three Destinations Every Business Owner Must Set

Date: Thursday 17 September 2026 
Time: 8am to 9am BST / 9am to 10am SAST including Q&A
Venue: Zoom, link supplied on registration
Duration: 60 minutes

Most business owners know what they need to do next week. Very few know where the business ultimately needs to arrive.

Established business owners are exceptionally good at solving today’s problems: Winning customers, managing people, protecting cash flow, making decisions that keep the business moving.

But somewhere along the way, many lose sight of a far more important question: Where is this business actually going?

Not next month or next year… but what is the business’s ultimate destination?

Because until you define where the business must arrive, it’s difficult to know what you should be building today.

In this practical online session, author and business growth specialist Pavlo Phitidis explores the three destinations every business owner must deliberately choose if they want to build a business that creates lasting value, gives them greater freedom and leaves an enduring legacy.

Through the stories of two established business owners who ended up in very different places, Pavlo shares a practical framework for aligning the future of your business with the years you have left to lead it.

During this session, you’ll define three critical destinations.

Your Asset Destination

What must your business become before it can operate, grow and create value without relying on you?

Your Growth Destination

Which stage of business growth should you be leading next, and what changes will get you there?

Your Freedom Destination

What do you want your business to eventually make possible for you, your family and the people who will lead it after you?

You’ll leave with:

    • A clearer picture of what your business must become.
    • An understanding of which stage of growth you need to lead next.
    • Greater visibility of where owner dependency is limiting progress.

    Three practical decisions you can begin acting on immediately

    Who should attend?

    Established business owners who want to build a stronger, more valuable business that can grow beyond them and ultimately provide greater choice, freedom and long-term value.

    Digitise Deliberately Webinar 23 July 2026

    Written by Lindokuhle Ntombela on . Posted in Uncategorized.

    Join a 90 minute working session for a non-tech approach to digitising your business. 

    This event has closed, for other Aurik events, visit www.aurik.com/events or register your interest in joining an event near you here https://aurik.com/2025/07/10/register-for-a-scale-up-growth-blueprint-workshop/

    Build Your Scaleup & Growth

    Date: Thursday 23 July 2026 
    Time: 8am to 9am BST / 9am to 10am SAST including Q&A
    Venue: Zoom, link supplied on registration

    This practical, non-technical workshop is for established business owners with between 15 and 150 employees who want to:

    • Digitise with purpose and intent, not panic
    • Scale their business without increasing chaos
    • Boost productivity and team performance without becoming more dependent
    • Unlock time and headspace to lead, not react
    • Increase company value and future saleability
    • An interest in removing dependency, improving team performance, and avoiding wasted tech investments

    Whether you’re in manufacturing, services, retail, or distribution, if you’re a business owner driving growth, signing off the tech budget, and carrying the weight of the business, this is built for you.

    What You’ll Get From It

    Five crisp, practical outcomes:

    1. Clarity on what to digitise — and what not to
      → You’ll map your systems and identify high-impact digital wins.
    2. A practical tool to build and test your digitisation use case
      → No more wasted spend, broken adoption, or tech that no one uses.
    3. A business-first lens on tech decisions
      → You’ll learn how to align systems and digitisation with your scale strategy.
    4. A scorecard to evaluate every future tech investment
      → Confident go/no-go decisions that build value, not cost.
    5. The confidence to lead your team through change
      → You’ll leave with a blueprint to drive productivity, profitability, and performance,  without being a tech expert.

     This Is Not For

    • Startups or microbusinesses
    • Delegated tech managers (this is for owners)
    • People looking for software demos or platforms to buy

    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.

    Aurik ScaleUp Roundtable Breakfast Joburg 15 May

    Written by pippa@aurik.com on . Posted in Uncategorized.

    A private Scaleup Roundtable Breakfast for established business owners who know there is more growth in the business, but who still feel too pulled into the engine room.

    Build Your ScaleUp & Growth

    Date: 15 May 2026 
    Time:  7.30am to 9.30am
    Venue: Aurik, 2nd Floor, BluBird Offices, 1 Park Road, Birnam  
    Hosted by: Pavlo Phitidis

    Why Join?

    Most established businesses do not get stuck because the owner lacks ambition, care, or effort.

    They get stuck because growth has outgrown the way the business is built to perform.

    Too much still depends on the owner.
    Too much still sits in key people.
    Too much still needs pushing, checking, chasing, fixing, and carrying.

    The business may be moving. It may even be growing. But it is not moving as cleanly, as confidently, or as freely as it should.

    And after a while, that takes its toll.

    You start to feel the drag of slow implementation, uneven delegation, recurring bottlenecks, and the frustration of knowing what should change without seeing it stick.

    That is what this roundtable is built to address.

    This is not a seminar. It is a practical breakfast conversation for owners

    This breakfast brings together a small group of business owners at different stages of growth and decision-making.

    Some are exploring what is keeping the business stuck.
    Some are already deep in that thinking.
    Some are close to making a move.

    The purpose is to create a serious, useful conversation around the real constraints that slow growth down in established businesses and to help owners see more clearly what it takes to move forward.

    This is not about generic advice.

    It is about understanding:

    • what is really constraining growth in your business right now
    • why that constraint has likely stayed around longer than it should have
    • why instruction alone rarely creates lasting change
    • what it takes to build a stronger commercial platform with the team so performance becomes more scalable, more consistent, and less dependent on the owner

    This breakfast is for you if…

    This roundtable is built for established business owners who:

    • feel too pulled into the day-to-day running of the business
    • know growth should be moving faster or more cleanly than it is
    • are frustrated by recurring bottlenecks and uneven execution
    • want the team to carry more, but know that simply telling them to do so is not enough
    • are serious about building a business that can scale, grow, and deepen in value

    It is especially relevant if you feel the business has outgrown the way it currently operates, but the next stage still feels harder to grasp than it should.

    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.

    What you will leave with:

    By the end of the breakfast, you should have greater clarity on:

    • the real constraint slowing growth in your business
    • where the business still relies too heavily on you
    • why change has been slower and stickier than it should be
    • why involving the team in building forward matters more than instructing them to perform differently
    • what it takes to create a business that runs with you, not because of you

    You will leave with sharper perspective, stronger language for what is happening in your business, and a clearer sense of what the next step should be.

    The issue is not whether your business can grow. It is whether it can grow without demanding more of you each time

    If every phase of growth asks for more owner energy, more decision-making, more intervention, and more rescue work, the business is not scaling properly.

    That has consequences.

    Growth slows.
    Teams wait.
    Capability builds too slowly.
    The owner stays trapped in the engine room.
    The value of the business becomes harder to deepen.

    A business becomes more valuable when it is built around a clear problem it solves, a strong market position, a repeatable delivery system, and a team structured to carry that experience consistently. Positioning becomes the blueprint for how the business delivers, how the team performs, and how growth is pursued over time.

    That is why this conversation matters.
