The SmallBiz Academy Get the Tools, Training & Support to Improve Your Small Business Hi, I’m Toby, the founder of The SmallBiz Academy. I get it—running a small business is tough.

I’m an accountant (please don’t hold that against me) who has spent a lifetime (yes, I’m getting old) coaching, consulting, and mentoring small business owners, like you. There’s no magic strategy or quick fix to being successful (despite what social media “gurus” may claim). But there are tried-and-tested principles that can transform your business when applied correctly,
giving you a solid foun

dation to improve your business. I’ve developed practical tools, hands-on training, and ongoing support designed to help you implement these principles into your business. No fluff, no “mindset stuff”. Just actionable strategies to help you get control of your finances, drive your growth, and build a strong team. Check out the free training on our Facebook channel to see what it’s all about, and find the program that fits you best.

When it comes to recruiting, business owners often make the mistake of not being clear on who they want for the role.

It’s very hard to write an ad to attract the right person if you’re not clear about what exactly you need. And without the right people, your business won’t be able to grow!

Instead, you should have a clear plan for the role you’re recruiting for including developing an organisation chart based on roles, preparing a position description and a specification of exactly the type of person you’re looking for.

From that, you’re able to write a clear job ad that attracts high-level candidates and you’ll be able to interview them better as you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.

I just helped a client attract and recruit a high-level candidate to help them with their marketing in their young business.

They were doing what a lot of new business owners do: trying to do everything themselves. They’d done a good job, but it was killing them, and they didn’t have the time to do what was really needed.

They needed to start to build a team to help them. But it’s hard attracting high-level candidates to a new and small business.

To help, first we put a three-year plan together for the business and developed the organisation chart for the different roles needed to run the business.

We then developed the position description for the key roles, so we knew exactly what we needed them to do.

We then worked out who the ideal candidate was and wrote the job ad to attract the right person. We then posted the ad and shortlisted the candidates and just completed the interviews last week.

We managed to attract some high-level candidates and ended up recruiting a very experienced marketing person who is ideal for the role.

We’re all very excited to see what this role can now achieve.

LEARN HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR PROFITS WITH THE 6 PROFIT LEVERA

Most business owners I meet want to improve their profits and if they don’t, they should.

Profit is the whole reason you’re in business. If you’re not making enough profit, you may as well shut up shop and get a job!

If you’re like most business owners, you spend nearly all your waking week working or thinking about your business. Often your house is on the line and all your money is invested in your business.

You do that so you can build a business that can earn a good profit, otherwise all this hard work and risk will be for nothing!

The problem is that most business owners focus on the wrong thing when they’re looking to improve their profit. They just focus on increase their turnover and getting growth, growth, growth!

This is often at the expenses of profit and time. There is a better approach or a more complete approach to improving your profit.
Watch this training to learn:

I just caught up with a client who a few years ago came to me with a profit problem.

They were working heaps of hours but didn’t have any money to show for it.

They were in debt, stressed and wanted out of the business!

We used The 6 Profit Levers™ to review their numbers and we used The Profit Playbook™ to pick the specific strategies for them to focus on to improve their profits.

This included implementing a system to monitor their leads and measure their conversion rates and average order values.

We’ve just completed a review of their results, for the last 18 months. In the first 12 month’s they doubled their profit and already in the first 6 months of this year they’ve doubled their sales on the previous 12 months.

They’ve paid a big chuck of their debt down and have money in the bank.

They even have their accountant happy, as now they have tax issues to solve.

All of these came about by focusing on their numbers.
