Every Business is different and so is our approach!

We start with a business review to discuss your goals and to agree a road map for the way forward: a step-by-step plan to help you build the business you’ve always wanted.

Everyone is different, but here are some of the goals you might be seeking:

Increased profits

Better cashflow

A greater feeling of control

Free up more time

More relaxed, less stressed

Better time management skills

Increased sale value of the business

Fixing operational issues hampering your progress 

 

For the past 25 years, I’ve owned, operated, bought, and sold several businesses in both New Zealand and Australia, and I’ve used my skills and experience to help other business owners grow their businesses.

I offer two distinct approaches: consulting and coaching. At our initial goal setting consultation, we can discuss which would suit you best."

 

Goal setting

This is the starting point. We discuss your vision for the business, and what you want out of it. Then we agree a roadmap: a plan that might take us down the consulting route or the coaching route.

Sometimes both options are relevant. You may want me to fix an urgent issue before mentoring you to improve your skills..... Find out more?
