“Only an elite group of mountaineers can ever say that they have reached the summit of Mount Everest. Sirdar enables you to join the elite group of entrepreneurs that have reached the summit of extreme business success” - Ronnie Muhl, Everest Climber.
SIRDAR BUSINESS SUMMIT
W
ould you climb Mount Everest alone?
An expedition to the summit of Everest, the highest point on earth, is never undertaken solo. While a single climber may lay claim to having planted his flag on the peak, there’s always a loyal and dedicated team of people behind him, planning, organising, assessing and reassessing. So it is in business. And learning how to create this team, and continually inspire them to new heights, is what separates those whose business flounders at base camp from those that reach the top.

hat the Sirdar Business Summit can do for you
The Sirdar Business Summit not only reconnects you with your reason for starting your enterprise and helps you to take your vision to a whole new level; it also provides solutions you can implement immediately. Directly after completing the summit, you will have the tools to resolve the three biggest challenges facing most business owners and managers: 1. Team: pulling together loyal, dedicated team players who care about the business as much as you do through the clarity of your promise. 2. Wealth creation: having enough to pay debtors, taxes and wages (including yours), as well as funding growth and still returning a profit to shareholders, and understanding how business enterprises achieve sustainable growth over the long-term. 3. Lifestyle: achieving more in fewer hours and with less stress, so that you can enjoy your life away from the business.

Do you ever wonder what separates successful business owners from those who just have a job in their own business? Do you work long hours in isolation just to keep your business going? Do you know what you need to do to achieve extreme success in your business? Actively seeking out knowledge, critical success factors, and tried-and-tested formulas is the first step to extreme business success. The Sirdar Business Summit programme covers exactly what it means to be an effective business owner. The summit challenges you about your business, your mindset and your resolve, and gives you the practical knowledge you need to transform yourself and your business. “It is not only refreshing, but very empowering to have such a concise, clear and simple understanding on what business is, how it should work, and who can help you achieve what it is you have set out to do� Gavin Green, Managing Director, African Corporate Cleaning (Pty) Ltd, Pretoria, South Africa

hat does the Sirdar Business Summit cover?
Summit expedition leader Carl Bates focuses on enabling you to differentiate your role as a shareholder, director and manager in your enterprise. Treating your investment in your business as you would if you were an investor in any other enterprise, Carl inspires you to explore the concept of governance and understand its relevance and application in small and medium enterprises. Carl’s depth of understanding and insight motivates you to examine your own business and to envisage the possibilities for your extreme business success, clarifying which key areas of business growth you need to focus on with renewed confidence and purpose, what business structures you should have in place, and the team that you need with you to climb to new heights. During the course of the two and a half-day programme, we will review the importance of your role as a key shareholder in your business and the impact this has on how you make decisions. We will examine the often-neglected areas of governance and accountability, and explain why and how you should appoint a board of directors to truly understand your own critical role as a shareholder in your business. Some of the topics covered are: • Getting clarity on and practically understanding your role as a shareholder, director and manager • Reconnecting with your reason for starting your enterprise and taking your vision to a whole new level • Understanding what it means to be held accountable in your enterprise • Learning how to effectively manage and significantly improve cash flow in your business, and feel less stressed and more secure as a result • Recognising the importance of having a dynamic and highly effective team in your enterprise • Learning how expedition updates can transform your enterprise’s financial results • Understanding your business as an investment and how to ensure fruitful returns • Discovering the power of giving back through every transaction and feeling good about adding value to your community.
