Ravi Abuvala is the founder of Scaling with Systems, a business accelerator that works to bootstrap and scale their clients' businesses leveraging elimination, automation and fully-trained overseas assistants. In the past 14 months, he has scaled 2, 7-figure businesses with less than $1,000 of his own capital and 4 commission-based employees.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Ask yourself, if something happens to you, can your business continue to run without you?
2. Figure out how to be profitable from day one.
3. Sales should not be delegated to your virtual assistant. It should be the last thing you delegate because nobody can sell your product as good as you do.
