Opportunities are abundant. The real challenge is recognising and seizing them.

In today’s economic landscape, where the cost of living and global economic pressures are affecting businesses and individuals alike, identifying and capitalising on opportunities is crucial.

Successful businesses seize opportunities as they arise, ensuring sustained growth and resilience. Investing three days at the Global Business Camp (GBC) offers a rare chance to work on your business with our team and like-minded entrepreneurs across Australia. This experience is not only invaluable but also 100% tax-deductible.

Why Do Small Businesses Fail?

• 20% fail in their first year.
• 30% fail in their second year.
• 50% fail after five years.
• 70% fail by their tenth year.

Through extensive research by the experts at Global Business Camps, the following key reasons for failure have been identified:

Reason #1 – Lack of Customer Insight and Communication

Understanding your customers’ needs and maintaining open lines of communication are essential. Are you engaging with your customers to understand their satisfaction and additional needs? Proactively seeking referrals and feedback can keep you ahead.

Reason #2 – Lack of Market Differentiation

What sets you apart from your competitors? Defining and communicating your unique value proposition effectively can distinguish your business in a crowded market. Are you utilising all available channels to reach your customers, including social media, direct mail, your website, and face-to-face interactions?

Reason #3 – Leadership Deficiencies

Strong leadership is vital, especially in challenging times. Assess your leadership style and team dynamics. Does your team understand the business direction and goals? Effective leadership drives business success regardless of external conditions.

Reason #4 – Ineffective Business Models and Cash Flow Management

Adapting your business model to current economic conditions is critical. Are you monitoring your financial performance against budgets? Minor adjustments can significantly impact profitability and cash flow. Regular financial forecasting and ‘what-if’ analysis can help you navigate potential challenges.

Why You Need a Strategic Plan

There’s just no denying it. A plan or strategy is the key to success. As Benjamin Franklin said “Failing to plan is planning to fail”

A Business Plan usually documents all aspects of a new/er business. A Strategic Plan is more for established businesses whose owners are serious about growing the business. It provides focus and direction by establishing where the business wants to be. And, it provides the detail on what action is required to get it there.

Every successful business requires a clear strategic plan to navigate challenges and seize opportunities. At DFK Everalls, we emphasise the importance of addressing three critical questions for your business:

1. Where are you now? – Understand your current position and assess your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
2. Where do you want to be? – Defining your vision and setting realistic, measurable goals for your business.
3. How will you get there? – Developing actionable strategies and a roadmap to achieve your goals.

These questions form the foundation of your strategic planning process, providing clarity and direction for your business.

Our Proven Formula for Success:

Your Expertise + Global Business Camp Strategies + DFK Everalls Mentorship = Greater Success

The next Global Business Camp occurs from 24–26 February 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Surfers Paradise.

SAVE THE DATE – We would love to have you join us!

We aim to help you achieve your business objectives more efficiently and securely. Our firm will host a table (1 Director and up to five clients) at the camp, fostering discussions and guiding you through the program. Over three days, we will cover all the critical areas mentioned with industry experts’ insights on leveraging the current economic climate.

Benefits of Attending the Global Business Camp:

• Strategic Planning: Spend three focused days developing a comprehensive strategic plan tailored to your business needs.
• Work with a DFK Everalls Director: Throughout the three days, we will be at your table (alongside other DFK Everalls clients). We will be able to answer your specific questions and provide guidance.

This is an exceptional opportunity to step away from daily operations and focus on strategic planning for your business. Working ON your business, rather than IN it, can provide a substantial advantage, especially in tough times. Businesses that plan and prepare for the future tend to perform better and serve their customers more effectively.

Your investment includes:

• The GBC course and content for 3 days
• The intellectual property collateral developed over 30+ years of consulting

• A cocktail event on the Monday night
• A dinner on the Tuesday evening with guest speaker
• Access to a number of value adding sponsors
• A massive networking opportunity with like-minded people
• All of the specialist presenters, and much more

Your investment is fully guaranteed and if at the end of the three days you have received no value from attending our business camp, your investment will be refunded in full.
