Today we talk to Charles Fairlie, the CEO of Purpose Publishing, about a number of interesting business stories from his book series Unsung Business Heroes. The book features various Australian business success stories that shed light on a number of important themes on what makes a successful business.
We investigate the story of a business owner at the brink of liquidation who managed to turn the business around to an entity with more than $100 million annual revenue. We love this story because it just shows the highs and lows of business. It also shows that there is a lot of hope for businesses that feel at the brink. Moreover, it’s a great reminder of the reality that almost always, the direst circumstances for a business can often be easily avoided by having proactive legal and accounting mechanisms in place.
Throughout the episode, we discuss a number of other recurrent themes and also discuss the concept of leaving a legacy of your business story. Who knows, you could be the next business hero!
