Ravi Abuvala on Giving Up Your Dream to Pursue a Different Path, Why Attention is Currency, and How to Scale Your Business With No Overhead

Ravi Abuvala never wanted to be an entrepreneur. His Dad's cancer diagnosis led him to move back to Atlanta for eight months. Spending all day in the hospital made him realize that life is short, and even though it had been his dream to go to law school, he wasn't convinced that the time and financial debt were really worth it. He decided to ditch his longtime plan and start his journey toward an online business. With no digital marketing experience, he took an online course and then decided to bet on himself. Today, he is the 26-year-old founder of Scaling With Systems, a business accelerator that scales companies through digital marketing and teams of virtual assistants. In the past 14 months, he has scaled 2, 7-figure businesses with less than $1,000 of his own capital and four commission-based employees. He has worked with over 500 firms around the world and placed 630 virtual assistants. In this episode, you will learn about the benefit of attending masterminds and how to create a profitable business from day one by ensuring product-market fit. You will understand why you should empower your team to function like mini CEOs, the brilliance of power-blocking your time and so much more. Learn more about your ad choices.
