EONY LEARNING EVENT

How CEOs Turn Revenue Into Profit and Personal Wealth

Many EO members don’t have a revenue problem—they have a profit problem they can’t clearly see.

Join EO member and five-time Inc. 5000 founder Ben Hansen, The Profit Doctor, for a practical session that introduces The Profit Prescription™, a framework designed to help entrepreneurs identify and eliminate the hidden factors quietly draining profit inside otherwise successful businesses.

Ben bootstrapped a staffing and consulting firm from zero to eight figures in eight years, growing to more than 100 staff and consultants while earning five consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000. A former Fortune 100 executive at Microsoft and Dell, he engineered the kind of financial return many founders hope to achieve at exit by building a company that paid him like an owner—not an operator.

As a 15-year EO member who has served in multiple leadership roles and presented to EO forums and chapters, Ben understands the EO experience-sharing model and delivers practical, immediately applicable insights.

During this session, you’ll explore:

– Why revenue growth often hides—or even worsens—profit problems
– The “Growth Myth” that keeps capable CEOs stuck
– Why most financial statements fail to show where profit is created or destroyed
– How the 50/20 Rule can unlock profit gains quickly
– A practical diagnostic framework to identify where profit is leaking from your business
– Which financial levers to pull first for the fastest profit improvement

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your company’s profit gap and practical tools you can begin applying immediately.
