This week's key takeaway:

How to get your business working harder than you - with Ben Fewtrell and David Carlin

Episode intro:

Welcome to the very first episode of the Max Your Business podcast! Strap yourself in for a load of key business insight from Ben Fewtrell and David Carlin: top-level business coaches and trainers over many decades.

Ben and David work from a five-stage process for building a business (foundations, growth, optimise, transition, diversify). This week they will zone in on the foundations. Don't run before you can walk!

In this week's episode you will learn:

• Why you should use the same fundamentals for a small business as a big business
• How to fix 'the leaky bucket'
• Where 'foundation' ends and 'growth' should start
• Why people struggle with good planning, and how you can protect yourself from this
• The optimum length of time for a business plan
• Why 'being busy' can be overrated
• Why understanding cashflow is more important than the long-term P&L
• How to make people accountable for key numbers
