YOU ARE INVITED TO AN INFORMATION AND NETWORKING SESSION

Two areas that entrepreneurs and small business struggle with are sales and exits. To maximize the value you have created in your business, you must increase your revenues, so a focus on sales must take priority. Building this ‘value’ is one of the most important steps in preparing your business for exit.

BDO and Kain C+C Lawyers work in industries where clients regularly face these challenges and, along with Matthew Michalewicz, have partnered to deliver a group mentoring program focused on
Selling Tactics And Growth for Exit (STAGE).

Please join us at a cocktail function to launch the program and find out about the benefits for businesses poised for growth.

WHAT WILL THE EVENT COVER?
Matthew Michalewicz, an internationally recognised expert in entrepreneurship, innovation, and success psychology, will explain the program and also present an in-depth analysis of the SolveIT Software journey from start-up to 3rd fastest growing company in Australia to exit.

DO you have a bucket list? If not, write one now.

That’s one of the early messages from Adelaide entrepreneur Matthew Michalewicz’s new book, Life in Half a Second: How to achieve success before it’s too late.

Mr Michalewicz is a member of a select group – a successful serial entrepreneur – who has chosen to live in Adelaide.

His most recent venture was Solveit Software – a process optimisation company he founded in 2004.

In eight years, he grew it to about 150 employees, and sold it to Schneider Electric last year.

In the last financial year when he was at the helm, the business grew 678.9 per cent, and was named the third-fastest-growing technology company in Australia in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program.
