Have Your Cake And Sell It Too: the 7 Key Ingredients of Business Success
Is it too much to want it all a profitable business that's a dream to run; a business asset you can one day sell for a truckload of money; and have a life?Have Your Cake And Sell It Too: the 7 Key Ingredients of Business Success
Some owners get a great financial return from their business, but are slaves to it. Others have enviable lifestyles, but no money to enjoy their freedom.
Business growth expert Jason Cunningham argues you can have it all: get full return for your efforts in the form of profits and lifestyle flexibility, while also growing a highly valuable business asset that someone will pay top dollar for (but you love so much you won't want to sell any time soon). Because the very attributes of a business that's attractive to potential buyers is also what makes it a dream to own.
Get the profit and dividends you deserve, the lifestyle flexibility you crave, and a juicy big cheque when if you one day choose to sell. Along the way you'll fall back in love with your business.
Why you need to sack yourself
To truly achieve business success, you need to be able to separate yourself from your business, so you can come and go as you please, cherry pick the clients you want to work on, and take a holiday whenever you want. Sacking yourself will help you build a self-sufficient business that runs just as well when you're off having a life. It's the key to building a business that supports your lifestyle, rather than the other way around.

Jason was rated No 1 (out of 24) for Best Presenter by attendees at the 2016 IPA Congress.
Jason's engaging presentation style and world-class content set him apart in the SME space. Whenever I talk about business owners who are true Thought Leaders speaker, media authority, author, and also mentoring clients I always give two examples: the first is Richard Branson; the second is Jason Cunningham. I think that says it all.
Jason brings a unique perspective (plus a truckload of passion and energy) that our audience laps up. By challenging and inspiring in equal measure, he helps the audience to achieve results they never thought possible. I was so impressed with his content, I engaged him to be my business adviser. I couldn't give a stronger endorsement than that.
Many thanks for your highly-motivating presentation at last night's AGM. It was a dynamic and thought-provoking session that our members responded to extremely well. Great job.
Jason tailored his presentation to our audience perfectly - looping in references to their floral businesses and really capturing their thoughts, and engaging them throughout. Jason also had the skill to be able to remember individuals' names sitting in the audience, which really did add a level of personal delivery that was truly inspirational, when he referred to them by name as specific points throughout his talk. When this was added to Jason's personal financial journey, the room was attentive beyond what I could have imagined and hoped for. As the CEO of the organisation, I was truly thrilled with the level of engagement Jason commanded and the vibrant, animated approach he took with our Florists. He was assiduous in pointing out the relationship between finance and small business and the audience enjoyed it thoroughly. I can highly recommend Jason to potential clients wanting him to appear at their functions.
Jason proved to be a huge success at the Sutherland Shire Council Small Business Summit 2019. Speaking to over 220 small business owners, his energy had them glued to every word and was able to leave them inspired to do something different. The simplicity of his 7 key ingredients to business Success' and his real business experience really resonated with small business owners in the room. Straight after the presentation some comments from the audience were I'm going to simplify my business plan and put it up on every desk' and I'm going to step back and look at my business efficiencies' I loved his recommendation of going to work every day thinking of how you could sell it!
“Jason's ability to captivate and engage an audience is truly unparalleled. He speaks with genuine passion and has a remarkable talent for illustrating even the most complex issues in an entertaining, emotional, and informative manner.
“Jason is an absolute gem to work with – clever, funny, interesting, honest and real. His sessions are always very popular and the feedback from clients has been incredibly positive.
We asked Jason to present on the internal challenges of medium business, specifically taking the next steps into larger scale operations. Jason’s raw and engaging delivery left us all laughing, thinking and at times crying.
We recently had Jason Cunningham present to 100+ employees in a tailored session called Six Steps to Staying (financially) Positive and Preparing for the Turnaround" during our work from home times due to Covid. Jason's positive energy is contagious, and he managed to connect with the audience and keep them engaged for a full hour over Zoom, while also keeping the content relevant and relatable. I loved Jason's can-do attitude and positive outlook, every interaction with Jason leaves you feeling lifted and energized.
I've followed Jason Cunningham's career for some time now, across multiple media driven platforms. I've booked Jason for 2 separate presentations, in very different industries, and his ability to engage with any group, is his super power. He speaks the people's' language and his style of presentation on content that can be perceived at times as being dull', Jason always delivers in a relatable, knowledgeable and entertaining manner.
