A Playbook for Success


The courseware for the Xpønential Academy is based on The Young Entrepreneur's Playbook subtitled; 'Using failure as a short-cut to success.'

Dr Jerry Gule, CEO of Institute of People Management said about the book: "Lindile Xoko has written a must-read book for anyone interested in uplifting the economy by starting and running a successful business as well as scaling it up to serve even more customers.

The time for this book could not have been opportune as all types and sizes of businesses must rise from the chaos and devastation wreaked COVID-19 on economies around the world. This incisive and insightful book offers a treasure trove of useful and practical action steps a start-up business owner, or even the owner of a mature business, can take to ensure that it has a sound strategy, grow its customer base and serve its customers with class.

The vast number of budding young entrepreneurs and those that have already embarked on their entrepreneurial journey will find this book a feast of ideas that they can use daily for themselves, their supporters, and teams to keep the business on track and growing.

The author generously pours out pearls of wisdom garnered over many years of life and of being a business leader. Any serious entrepreneur wishing to start, grow a successful business and reap maximum benefits in the end should look no further that this playbook."

The course and all of its modules take it even further by offering case studies, exercises and material to help the entrepreneur craft their own playbook to achieve the business goals they desire. What we call: "Solving for X."

Engaging

Being growth minded is the first step. The next is being equipped with the right set of tools achieve that growth. To be exponential takes being deliberate and action focussed.

Thought Provoking

The worth of an idea is found in its execution. Goals are attained through kinetic energy. The business tells you what nourishment it needs at every stage of evolution. Use all internal and external business insights to evolve the business to its fullest potential.

Impactful

If it cannot be measured it cannot be managed or grown. Define the correct indicators for your organisation as well as the actions to achieve sustainable growth. If the goal is clear, how to attain it becomes easier to design, then followed by the actions to achieve it. No action in business is without impact if it is tied to the goal. But actions that are not linked to a goal are wasted energy
