Mirko Roettgers: How to Go From Losing Money to 20%+ Profit with EOS

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor is joined by an experienced EOS Implementer® to explore how to go from losing money to 20%+ Profit with EOS®. The conversation begins with his journey from digital transformation in Queensland’s tourism industry to entrepreneurship, where he discovered EOS® while working with a Martech startup. At the time, the business was struggling with negative profits. After implementing EOS, it transformed into a company generating more than 20% profit margins. A major part of that turnaround came from focusing on the right things. The leadership team introduced a disciplined Scorecard®, identified the numbers that genuinely drove performance, & made sure the right people were in the right seats. Debra & her guest also discuss the Accountability Chart®, why it can be confronting, & how it helps leadership teams clarify ownership, uncover gaps & resolve confusion around accountability. They also explore the value of leading indicators, the challenge of being an Integrator pulled into constant firefighting, & why sustainable growth requires a strong leadership team underneath the Integrator role. The conversation then turns to the opportunities ahead for Queensland, including the 2032 Olympic Games & major infrastructure investment. Rather than simply hoping for growth, Debra & her guest discuss why businesses need to build the structure, people & systems now so they are ready when those opportunities arrive. Drawing on the discipline of ultra-marathon running, this episode is a powerful reminder that business growth rarely comes from one dramatic effort. It comes from consistent execution, clear priorities, disciplined habits & the willingness to keep moving when things get difficult. A valuable listen for business owners who feel stuck, want to improve profitability, or need to prepare their organisation for the next stage of growth.
