Did you know that your business today is not actually your business? It's time to recognise that your business should exist within a portfolio of businesses and create a cycle of your money.

In this episode of The Anti-Fragile Method, Jacob Aldridge talks about the six fundamental human drivers and how they're all in conflict with each other.

Profit is integral to keep a business running. However, most business owners don't really know the profit formula that they're working on every single month. There are fixed costs, variable costs, and actual revenue. How do you arrange these elements to identify at what point you'll become profitable, and by how much?
In today's episode of The Anti-Fragile Method, Jacob Aldridge demystifies "the profit formula." Learn how to properly calculate costs and revenue to maximise your profitability in business.
Business always comes with risks. That's why when we invest we always try to place it on the lower end of the "risk spectrum" so we don't lose any money. However, being on the conservative side also means there's less gain on the benefits. You may not have lost anything but the payoff is also too minimal. So how do you go about it? After all, you didn't do business to be mediocre, right?
In today's episode of The Anti-Fragile Method, Jacob Aldridge talks about the "Barbell Strategy." Learn how to embrace the biggest risks and possibly gain more while also having stability in the business.
As much as you try to be robust, the system you're in isn't. It's filled with volatility in every corner.

And this is where being anti-fragile can benefit you. But what is it? How can we apply it in our business?
In this episode of The Anti-Fragile Method, Jacob Aldridge, an international business advisor and deep generalist, talks about what it means and the concept behind it. Have a listen and save your business from potential disasters.
