How Mandy, Alex & David Secured an $850K Tender

Mandy, Alex & David just landed their biggest win yet. 

 

An $850K tender. 

 

And they’re on track to hit $5M+ in revenue this year. 

 

That’s not a fluke. 

 

And it’s definitely not luck. 

 

It’s the result of a clear plan, executed with focus and intent. 

 

Here’s what we worked on together: 

 

— They clarified their positioning and owned their niche 

 

No more blending in as generalists. They became the go-to experts for their ideal clients. 

 

— They strengthened delivery and team performance 

 

Internally, we tightened systems so they could deliver with confidence, quality, and capacity. 

 

— They improved efficiency and margins 

 

Projects and processes were streamlined so the business could run smarter, with stronger profit. 

 

The result? 

 

A game-changing $850K tender. 

 

On track for $5M+. 

 

And a business that’s now built for serious growth. 

 

Mandy, Alex & David aren’t pushing harder. They’re working with clarity and leverage.

New Case Study Group – Starts November

October has been another standout month inside Boardroom. Members have secured multi-million-dollar projects, hit record profits, and finally freed themselves from the constant firefighting. 

 

On the back of that momentum, I’m opening a new Boardroom Case Study Group, kicking off in November – built for consultancy owners who are ready to grow faster, with stronger margins and more control. 

 

There are only a couple of spots left, and I’ll be hand-selecting the right businesses to join. 

 

This is for you if: 

— You run a consultancy in engineering, planning, surveying or architecture 

— Your revenue sits between $150K and $8M+ per year 

— You’re aiming for the next leap – $2M, $5M or even $10M+ 

— You want to consistently operate at 30%+ net profit 

— And you’re done with a business that only works if you’re working in it 

 

Here’s what we’ll work on together: 

— Filling your pipeline with quality clients and projects 

— Locking in delivery systems so profit margins a...

Why $10M+ Consultancies Never Discount

The consultancies growing past $10M all have one thing in common: they don’t compete on price. 

 

Not one of them. 

 

Because they know discounting isn’t “winning work”… it’s quietly destroying their business. 

 

Think about it. 

 

Every time you shave 5–10% off your fee, here’s what really happens: 

— You start the project already behind. 

— Your team feels the squeeze and morale tanks. 

— Stress piles up while profit disappears. 

 

And the client? They don’t respect you more for giving them a deal. They respect you less. 

 

Now here’s the uncomfortable truth: 

 

The reason you’re stuck dropping fees isn’t because “the market is tough.” 

 

It’s because you haven’t yet built the positioning, pipeline, or courage to hold the line. 

 

That’s why $10M consultancies play a different game: 

— They only chase ideal clients who value expertise over discounts 

— They position as specialists, not commodities 

— They build bulletproof pipelines, so one client can’t hold t...

What Got Us to $3M Nearly Broke Us at $7M

In the early days, we were proud of how lean we ran. 

No fluff. No fat. Just hard work, good people, and solid delivery. 

That approach got us to $3M. 

But it nearly broke us at $7M. 

 

Here’s what happened: 

 

We kept growing without changing how we operated. 

— Same flat structure. 

— Same client-heavy delivery. 

— Same founders doing everything. 

 

It worked… until it didn’t. 

 

— Margins tightened. 

— Projects slipped. 

— People started burning out, especially us. 

 

We realised that what got us to $3M was actually holding us back from getting beyond $7M. 

So we made three key shifts: 

— We built a real leadership layer — 

Not just senior techs. Real leaders with clear accountability. 

 

— We stopped saying yes to everything — 

And got ruthless with scope, client fit, and pricing. 

 

— We stopped doing, and started building — 

We replaced brute-force effort with structure, systems and strategy. 

 

Within 12 months, the business looked completely differe...

Last chance - doors close tonight (1 spot left)

Quick reminder - I’m closing off the October Boardroom Case Study Group tonight. 

 

The consultancy owners I’ll be working with are committed to:
 

— Growing to $2M, $5M, or $10M+ with clarity and control
 

— Locking in 30%+ net profit margins consistently
 

— Stepping out of day-to-day delivery and leading from above 

 

The results speak for themselves:
 

— Drew elevated his leaders and tripled profit margins in just 90 days
 

— Amanda & John clarified team roles, raised rates, and delivered their biggest month ever 

— Mandy, Alex & David nailed their culture and secured an $850K tender 

 

The common thread?
 

 

They joined Boardroom - and reset the way they run their business. 

 

Now it’s your turn. 

 

Right now, 4 of the 5 seats are already filled. 

 

That means just 1 x spot left. 

 

We kick off in October, and I’ll be selecting the final case study crew tonight.

Hit a plateau? Time to break through

Every consultancy owner aiming for $2M, $5M, or $10M+ eventually runs into the same roadblock. 

Growth stalls. 

The pipeline isn’t consistent.
 

Margins start to slip. 

That’s the plateau. 

 

Quentin hit it - then broke through. 

 

By building a stronger company structure, sharpening his BD follow-up, and elevating his role so his engineers delivered at a higher standard, he had his biggest revenue month ever…
 

And cracked a 60%+ net profit margin. 

 

Josh & Mark hit it too - and then pushed through to their biggest month yet at $450K. 

 

They got clear on the right clients, built a high-performing team around them, and started thinking bigger - backed by consistent action. 

Now they’re on track to build a $4M consultancy with momentum behind them. 

 

The difference?
 

 

They didn’t wait it out.
 

They reset strategy, built structure, and executed. 

That’s exactly what we’ll work on together in the September Boardroom Case Study Group: 

 — Building a strong pipeli...

You Can’t Grow if You’re Still in The Weeds

 A common theme we see inside Boardroom? 

  

Consultancy owners stuck in the weeds, holding everything together - and holding the business back. 

  

That was Andrew's reality. 

  

He was the bottleneck. Every client, every decision, every fire came through him. 

  

Fast forward 12 months? 

 — 10-person team
  

 — 60% year-on-year growth
  

 — And a business that now runs with him focusing on strategy 

  

He’s not buried in project delivery anymore. 

  

He’s leading the business forward - focused on growth, structure, and team performance. 

  

He’s not alone either: 

 — Armin, Haydn, John & James: Grew from $4.5M to $8M at 30% net margins while stepping out of delivery
 

 — Raj just delivered back-to-back record months while strengthening internal systems
 

 — Quentin hit his biggest month yet and cracked 60%+ net profit 

  

What changed? 

  

They joined Boardroom.
 

And they finally had the structure, strategy, and support to step up - and scale up.

Raj Grew by 246%

Raj just wrapped up his biggest month yet. 

 

41% net profit. 

 

And since we started working together, he’s grown his business by 246%.  

 

That’s not a fluke. 

 

And it’s definitely not luck. 

 

It’s the result of a clear plan, executed with focus and intent. 

 

Here’s what we worked on together: 

 

— He upgraded his client base 

— He built a high-performance team 

— He elevated his role to focus on strategy  

 

 

Raj stepped out of the weeds and into his zone of genius. 

 

Client relationships. Growth strategy. Smart decisions. 

 

That’s what drives a business forward — and we made sure he had the time and space to do it. 

 

 

The result? 

 

A record month. 41% profit. And 246% growth. 

 

And most importantly — a level of clarity and control he’d never had before. 

 

Raj isn’t grinding harder. He’s working smarter. With a business that now works for him. 

 

 

Would you like the same results, or better?  

 

Next month, I’m kicking off a new case s...

Boardroom Case Study Group

We’ve just wrapped a big month inside Boardroom. Multiple members have had record-breaking months, added hundreds of thousands in revenue, and are consistently hitting net profit margins between 30% - 40%. 

 

Off the back of that, I’m opening a new case study group in October - designed for consultancy owners who want to grow faster, with more control, and stronger margins. 

 

There are a couple of spots left - and I’m only inviting the right kind of businesses to join. 

 

This is for you if:
  

— You run a consultancy in engineering, planning, surveying or architecture
  

— You’re currently sitting anywhere from $150K to $8M+ in annual revenue
  

— You’re aiming for that next jump - whether it’s $2M, $5M or $10M+
  

— You’re ready to run consistently at 30%+ net profit
  

— And you want the business to run smoothly without needing you across everything 

 

Here’s what we’ll work on together:
  

— Creating a strong pipeline of high-quality clients and projects
  

— Streng...

The Merge That Took Us From $7M to $15M

At $7M, we hit a crossroad. 

 

We had great clients. A solid reputation. 

 

But we were capped out.  

 

Limited by geography. Stretched by overheads. 

 

And missing key internal capability. 

 

Then we found the right partner - another consultancy with strong delivery, complementary services, and a similar culture. 

 

We didn’t just join forces. 

 

We merged with a bigger purpose in mind. 

 

Here’s what we did: 

— We restructured into business units 

— Aligned roles, responsibilities and P&L 

— Combined systems (finance, CRM, delivery) 

— And made culture the non-negotiable throughout 

 

There were teething issues - every merge has them. 

 

But the upside was massive: 

— Our footprint expanded overnight 

— We opened new markets & opportunities  

— And cross-sold services that boosted project value 

 

Overnight, our business doubled from $7M to $15M. 

 

More importantly - we were now a serious player. 

 

If you’re thinking about M&A… 

 

The structure po...
