How do I start my business the right way? What are the basics of a business that I must have in place? These are questions ALL business owners ask themselves. This eBook helps you to answer those questions and look at the pillars that every successful business is built on.

Every business has bleeding points, those areas that are losing cash, burning through your bank account, or causing losses for your business. That is an unfortunate part of all businesses and must be addressed timeously and effectively to ensure minimal damage.

Just like a sturdy house that stands strong through storms and decades of use because of a strong foundation, every single successful business is built on a strong foundation. This foundation for building a successful business consists of 12 pillars on which it is built. A solid foundation is built by implementing each of these 12 pillars and will ensure a profitable entity and a smooth operating money-making machine.

Each of these pillars needs to be built upon and focused on every month to ensure that you build a sustainable business. You cannot leave one of them out and hope that the other 11 pillars will make up for the one that is not implemented. Unfortunately, it does not work that way.

These eBooks will help you identify and address the areas of improvement in your business. I don’t like to call it weaknesses because you can continuously improve weaknesses to become less draining on the business or even turn them into strengths. What I am about to teach you is NOT “hidden secrets” or some “secret industry knowledge”. There are no such things, and any reference to such secrets is only clickbait to make you purchase unnecessary programs and courses.

What you are receiving in these eBooks is real-world advice, skills, and knowledge that I have accumulated over 20 years as an accountant, business turnaround and business management consultant, an MBA graduate, and an entrepreneur.

This advice, skills, and knowledge apply to every single business in the world. There is no difference between a manufacturing business in the US, an accounting firm in India, or a retail shop in Australia. These 12-Pillars of a Successful Business are universally applicable to every single business in the world. Every single business must ensure that these pillars are in place and are operating effectively and efficiently. 

Throughout the eBooks, you will note that I speak about making 5% changes. If you can improve your business and the tasks that are done daily by only 5%, you will start noticing an improvement within the first month as they start impacting your business and your bank account. It is not about finding that one thing that will make you profitable tomorrow. There are no such magic wands available, sorry to burst your bubble. It is about finding all the areas where you can improve with 5% increments.

Most importantly - each pillar must support the next one, none of them live independently from the other ones.
