We all have goals right. 

Some spoken and clear. 

Others we’re too scared to voice out loud. 

For fear of truly owning them. 

Because “What will others think”? 

“What if I fall short”? 

“What if I fail”? 

These fears can keep us stuck for years. 

And stop us from taking action. 

The reality is. 

We want what we want: 

- More money 

- A bigger house 

- More holidays  

- More time 

And instead of hiding from it. 

Speak it out loud. 

Own it. 

Let it both excite you. 

And scare you. 

Kim and I sat down and reset our financial goals last night. 

We finished both excited and feeling outside of our comfort zone. 

And that’s how it should be. 

It would be easy to settle, to cruise. 

But that’s not me, not us. 

And I’m pretty sure that’s not you either. 

To get what you want. 

Speak it out loud. Own it. Let it both excite you. And scare you. 

And then get after it. 

Everything you want for...

This week we’re celebrating 2 x incredible clients - Bill & Adam. 

They’ve just had their biggest invoicing month - ever. 

And they’re on track to crack $1.8M this year. 

And the best part - their business is now set up to keep hitting these revenue levels. 

And continue to build and grow from here. 

At the start of the year we got really serious about focusing together on: 

 → Systems and processes across the business + consistent project delivery. 

 → Choosing and working with A-Grade clients. 

 → Removing Bill & Adam slowly from project delivery. 

So we got to work. 

Together we built into their business: 

Our Business Playbook & Core Operating Procedures trainings to get core SOPs in place - particularly around project delivery. 

Our Client Assessment tool for choosing which A-Grade clients to work with - and which clients to let go of. 

A roadmap to elevate Bill & Adam slowly out of project delivery - so they can focus more on bi...

We’ve just wrapped up 2 x amazing days online with our Boardroom members. 

2 x days of learning, sharing, strategising, growing and resetting goals & action plans. 

It was incredible. 

These quarterly events are a big part of our members success in Boardroom. 

2 x days focused on the business - not in it. 

At this event - I ran a session on epic staff retention. 

We dove into the 3 x core strategies for building a great company culture. 

As well as how to retain and grow your staff. 

So that you can build a culture of high performance in your business. 

I thought I’d share with you today the model and the framework I outlined for our members. 

The framework looks like this: 

 1) Purpose 

At a foundational level - your team need to have a sense of purpose working for you.  

Do they know your company values? Are they aligned with them? 

Do they know what your business mission and vision is? Does it resonate with them? 

Do the...

I hope you had a great week. 

Here we are, wrapping up another month!

When I first became a Director of the consultancy that we would later go on to grow to $30M. 

We were doing about $3M per year. 

There were 4 x Directors - and we were doing everything in the business. 

Strategy, running projects, client meetings, invoicing, admin, board meetings, chasing overdue payments. 

Everything. 

We had team, but no one in roles designed to take work off our plates. 

We wanted to grow - but we were drowning. 

We very quickly realised that we had built a business that completely relied on us. 

And it didn’t feel great. 

So we got strategic and mapped out the org chart that would take us to $6M. 

We mapped out our roles and what we wanted to be doing to be running a $6M business. 

And we mapped out the roles that we needed others to take off our plate.  

We started with admin - that was the quickest win. 

Then we elevated from within or hired externally and started the process of building a really competent leade...

I was chatting yesterday with an incredible client Mark. 

He and his business partner have just had 2 x consecutive biggest months ever in their business. 

And they’re on track for their 3rd! 

When we first started working together, they were doing an average of $120K to $140K months. 

A $1.4M per year business. 

Marks just let me know they’ve just had a $175K month and then a $231K month. 

And next month they’re on track for $260K! 

When I first met them, they: 

 → Were getting dragged into the day to day of their business. 

 → Had tried some generic business coaching. 

 → Were wanting to grow and take their business to that next level. 

So we got to work. 

Together we worked on: 

Our Business Gameplan and our Business Stages Roadmap frameworks for where they wanted to take their business. 

Our LinkedIn Marketing and Elite Positioning strategies for creating high level positioning and social proof in the marketplace. 

Our Company S...

Before I started my coaching business, I was a director and shareholder of a consultancy that we grew from $3M to $30M over a nine year period. 

It was an incredible journey. 

I experienced “all the things” as we grew. 

One of the things that was a huge focus for us, was our profit margins. 

They would fluctuate wildly. 

From month to month and depending on what phase of business growth we were in. 

From single figures through to 30 plus %. 

Not good. 

Particularly as we had shareholders to pay dividends to.  

And our growth strategy was M & A - which was heavily reliant on good, consistent profit margins. 

We could never quite pinpoint what was going on. 

Until we got serious about tracking the numbers & the metrics that actually mattered. 

This was a game changer.  

This made all the difference.  

Once we knew the metrics we needed to track weekly and monthly. 

We could pretty easily predict and forecast our profit margin...

I hope you had a great week. 

Here we are, already in August!

I hope you’re having a great start to your week. 

I’m currently having an espresso in the park out of my favourite red espresso cup. 

My family think I’m weird - I take this cup wherever I go.  

It’s school holidays and I’m spending the day with our kids and some of their friends.  

Indoor trampoline play centre, park action, then home for a movie.  

Pretty fun day really.  

The weather is spectacular as well.  

Incredible winters day. Sun, blue sky, crisp air.
