Personal Details

Bio

I'm Fatih Akben, the president of Akben Business Consulting Inc. As an owner, employee, and consultant I have seen first-hand direct business success and failures from the inside, outside, and side-lines. This has given me a unique perspective on how to help leaders manage and create an effective and streamlined work environment. Some notable achievements:

Reduced Costs of Goods Sold by 50%, with zero job losses and no increase in direct overhead.

Recovered millions of dollars for clients from PPP, ERC, Sales, and Federal Tax Refunds (without 20-30% in agency fees).

Reduced employee turnover from 20+ to 5%.

Raised 10M+ dollars in private equity funding.

I have a passion for helping businesses make more money by educating owners in a fun and engaging way while guiding them through behavioral change and financial education. I think this could be of great value to any audience interested in business or leadership.

What do you really really want?

In this thought-provoking presentation, we uncover your true desires and the outcomes you aspire to achieve. We recognize that successful leadership is not solely about managing day-to-day operations, but also about envisioning and pursuing long-term goals. Through insightful discussions and breaking financial myths, we explore the fundamental question: What do business leaders really want? Most leaders already know the answer to this but have never been mindful of it or taken the time to crystalize and action this. This is the key first step.

We examine the multifaceted dimensions of success, ranging from financial growth and market dominance to employee satisfaction and social impact.

Drawing on extensive research and real-world examples, we shed light on the diverse motivations and aspirations that drive business leaders. We delve into the importance of aligning personal and professional goals, as well as the significance of fostering a purpose-driven organizational culture.

The Importance of Systems, Processes and Habits in Business Growth

We will explore the critical role that systems, processes, and habits play in driving sustainable business growth. We understand that successful organizations are built on a foundation of efficient operations, streamlined workflows, and a culture of continuous improvement.

Through engaging discussions and practical examples, we highlight the significance of implementing practical and robust systems and processes within an organization. We delve into how well-designed systems can enhance productivity, minimize errors, and optimize resource allocation. We also emphasize the importance of aligning processes with strategic objectives to achieve consistent and scalable growth.

Furthermore, we explore the power of habits in shaping individual and collective success. We discuss how cultivating positive habits can foster a culture of excellence, innovation, and adaptability. We explore techniques for developing effective habits that drive personal and professional growth.

Leadership habits for everyone

Explore the critical factors hindering success in many organizations.

We expect respect to be earned, don't define and communicate success and the rules we play by, most of us are afraid of confrontation, we fail to lead by example, abdicate instead of delegate, and don't hire the right people. This list goes on - we'll cover these during the presentation and also uncover the secrets to overcoming these common leadership failings and how to build high-performing teams and achieve organizational success.

Discover the essence of leadership and its impact on team dynamics. Gain insights into the importance of setting clear expectations, fostering a culture of accountability, and making strategic hiring decisions.
