7 Figure Profits: 7 Strategies...

Jackson Millan, Rakesh Nairn

Ever dream of creating 7 figure profits in your business? You're not alone...
Imagine unlocking the secret to making money. You'd master it so well that it transforms your life and sets a foundation for generations. It is the kind of mastery that turns business success into a legacy of wealth. It lets you and your family live life on your terms. It fuels passions and enables a support system. This system nurtures these dreams through every generation.
Sounds like a fantasy? It's more attainable than you think.
The truth is, many business owners excel at making money. But, they fail at the next crucial step: keeping it, growing it, and using it to work for them as hard as they did for it. They're caught in what I call 'CashFlow Bottlenecks'. These are sneaky, small drains on your hard-earned cash. They silently sap your business's financial health.
"7 Figure Profits" isn't just another business finance book. This guide is for real-world entrepreneurs and has been battle-tested with thousands of business owners with life-changing results.
Have you pushed your business into the 7-figure realm but feel the strain of scaling? Are you feeling the financial pressure of managing that success without it getting the best of you?
In collaboration with my business partner and tax expert, Rakesh Nairn, we've worked with service businesses to decode the language of money, distilling all our closely guarded secrets into this book.
These are the same strategies used by our clients to boost their profits by 15-20% on average. This has resulted in tens, sometimes hundreds of thousands in extra surplus.
You'll get actionable strategies that cover:
Structuring your cash flow to serve your business and personal wealth
Understanding your financial story through the numbers
Renovating your financial model for scalability and sustainability
Reverse-engineering your KPIs to align with your life's dreams
Sidestepping the dreaded 'scale tax' that cripples high-growth businesses

The Frictionless Organization -...

Bill Price, David Jaffe

Learn how frictionless organizations cut costs, grow revenue, and create loyal fans by creating products and services that work so well, their customers never have to contact them for the wrong reasons. 
 
Many organizations focus so intently on improving the way customers interact with them that they don't ask the more fundamental question of whether the interactions are needed in the first place. Every contact channel adds cost and complexity. And while customers appreciate that they can now call, chat, text, or email to check an order or resolve a problem, they appreciate not having to do anything even more. 
 
Veteran customer service experts Bill Price and David Jaffe explain how service, support, and sales can be made invisible, reducing costs and providing a better customer experience. Drawing on examples from four continents and over twenty-five countries, they provide a logical and sequential methodology that every reader can follow. 
 
Reducing contact with customers means proactively focusing on the customer perspective, which is always a good idea. This means organizations need to rethink all aspects of their business, from product and services design to quality and control. It is a whole enterprise initiative, but one with a huge upside.
