Opportunities are all around us. Some people see them, yet others do not. They are there especially at this time where cost of living and economic headwinds from all corners of the nation and globally are putting enormous stress on businesses and individuals alike.

We just need to take advantage of them!

Business that do not take the opportunities when they arise suffer, and in time, their failure rate is higher. Life is all about taking opportunities as and when they are presented.

One of those rare opportunities is investing 3 days at a Global Business Camp (GBC) working ON your business with our team and other like-minded business people from all over Australia (100% tax deductible). Now is the time to be planning and thinking about strategies that will help push your business forward.

What percentage of small businesses fail?

20% of small businesses fail in their first year, 30% fail in their second year, and 50% fail after five years. Finally, 70% of small business owners fail in their tenth year in operation.

From all the work completed in this space by the experts at Global Business Camps there are some key reasons for failure:

Reason #1 – Not in touch with what their customers want and a lack of communication

Are you asking your customers what else you can be doing for them or how happy they are? Knowing the strategies is half the battle. Right now, and moving forward, you should be doing everything you can to be front-of-mind with your customers.

Are you asking for referrals? If you do, great work. If you are not, then you need to start asking for them!

Reason #2 – No real differentiation in the market from your competitors

What is your unique differentiation? How do you stand out from everyone else in your industry?

It is crucial to be able to differentiate yourself in today’s ultra-competitive environment. By communicating with customers and explaining how you can help them improve their lives is a great way to be different. Most people at the moment are silent. They are not marketing, not communicating, not promoting their business. They are just sitting there waiting and hoping for things to improve.

Are you speaking with your customers via social media, letters, website and visiting them face to face? As I mentioned above, most businesses are not communicating at all.

Reason #3 – Leadership breakdown at the top

What leadership style do you have? How dysfunctional is your team? Does your team know where the business is going and why? These are critical questions that you need to have answers to.

Business with great leaders thrive even in challenging times. Businesses with poor leaders generally only work when the economy and times are good. What are you doing to improve as a leader?

Reason #4 – Inability to land on a profitable business model with proven revenue streams and manage cash flows.

What changes do you need to make to your business model in this changing and challenging environment? Are you tracking your business and comparing it back to budgets? What impact do the ‘1% changes’ have on your business profit and cash flow? Do you conduct ‘what-if’ analysis?

An interesting situation is that a business can be very profitable and running out of money at the same time. You could ask how that can be possible? It can and we see it regularly. How would you know that this is a problem? You would know if you have prepared budgets to see what the next 12–24 months looks like in your business.

Seriously though, all the above are not negotiable in today’s business world. We have a proven formula for your success:

Your wisdom  +  Global Business Camp (Strategies and methodology)  =  MORE SUCCESS FOR YOU

Our next Global Business Camp is being held over 3 days from 24–26 February, 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Surfers Paradise. PENCIL IT IN NOW because we would love you to be there with us!

Our aim is to help you get to where you want to go faster and safer. As we do at every camp, we will have our team driving the tables and really generating discussion and action. Over the 3 days, all of the above areas will be covered and you will get to hear from experts about all of the opportunities that our current economic circumstances present.

The normal price is $3,300 per person, but if you get in early we would like to offer a very special rate of $2,200 per person (including GST) if you register now (Use the coupon code VIP-1 if you register direct). That is a significant saving and I urge you to register as soon as possible to take advantage of this offer. Remember, this investment in your business is FULLY TAX DEDUCTIBLE this year if you register BEFORE June 30.

By registering, it does not mean you have to pay straight away. It simply means you are guaranteeing your seat at the camp and you have the ability to pay the investment off over the coming months. Call Kathy on 08 8423 6177 or email her on kathy@globalbusinesscamps.com.au if you would like to create a payment plan.

This presents a special opportunity to get away for a few days and work ON your business, not IN your business to give your business and yourself a massive advantage away from distractions.

Working ON your business is one of the most important and rewarding things you can do. When times are tough it is even more important. Businesses that think and plan for the future actually perform better and look after their customers, clients or patients better than the ones  that do not.

Join us at the camp on 24–26 February 2025 and guarantee yourself the tools to look after the people you service better than ever before.
