Insights into the Company's Second-Year Journey and 2024 Vision

KC Misulis, CEO of Misulis Group, reflects on the company's advancements and forecasts for the upcoming year

Hello everyone, in this second year of Misulis Group, we seem to have found the progress that we were looking for in 2023. At the beginning of Misulis Group, we weren't sure what it was that people wanted from us. The advice was theoretically something that could have been given for free. While we could have focused more on selling our product, we decided to go another path, and that's by doing the opposite. By giving businesses money through loans and equity, we were able to find the market that wanted us to be there. Instead of looking for clients, we were pushing away potential clients. And that's a great improvement on what we've done. This project by itself has pushed us ever closer to profitability and I expect that we should have positive cash flow by early 2024.

In addition, we have done a good job synthesizing our knowledge into books which we can put onto the open market. And that goes for the MG Guide, the Interview Preparation Guide, the MG Job Journal, and the 5 Ps of Career Success. We've gotten those books into the hands of big-name publishers which can help propel us to the next level. While we haven't seen the numbers of sales of these books as we'd like, I believe that with more aggressive sales policies and partnerships, we might be able to get that product to do the numbers we want them to, given the quality. That being said, I think any future publishing will be supplementary to our efforts, rather than a core feature of our business moving forward. We intend to continue publishing and doing our best, however, the success of the B2B section means that I want all of our team focused on this direction so we can best capitalize on that success.

As we move forward, the loans and equity side of the business will take priority. There will be some changes over 2024 for all of us. As we transition to a financial institution, it creates more opportunities for our growth, as well as additional challenges that myself and the team must undertake. This is uncharted territory for all of us, and I am certain there are many things we will need to learn and adapt to as we move forward.

Additionally, we are aiming to be more aggressive in investing in 2024 so we can push towards top-tier growth. We firmly believe in our Skillset investment, and we have another equity investment in the pipeline for the early year. We also have multiple opportunities through the Ukrainian ICLUB program, which are available to us for vetted investments in the future. We hope that these equity investments will create some growth in 2024, and create marked growth in 2025.

That being said I want to thank everyone who has joined us on this journey. Coming from where we were last year and the year before, I am amazed at the progress we have made, not just as a company, but as individuals as well. As we come towards positive cash flow in early next year, I am excited about this possibility. It will mean more growth opportunities and more opportunities for us to focus on our long-term growth. Thank you, and I look forward to the next year.
