MG52 \\ Measured Growth Program
Dave Gillen — Business COACH — Brisbane
The 1-1 Business Coaching Program That Solves the Hard Thing About Growth
The Hard Thing About Growth
A growing business creates a never-ending stream of new problems.
More clients. More staff. More admin. More moving parts. Profit leaks. Owner overload. The maxed-out owner doesn’t have an organised way to solve these growth problems fast enough. Left unresolved, they stack up and weigh the business (and owner) down.
The burnout can drain their best years.
What We Do About It
MG52 is a Measured Growth Program of weekly 1-on-1 coaching with Dave Gillen to remove growth constraints as they appear to achieve an agreed growth result. Each week we build your marketing engine AND remove the friction preventing scale. The program does what other business solutions do not:
- A consultant may solve one issue
- An agency can optimise one channel
- A course can’t address your specific barriers to getting customers
Weekly 1-1 coaching is the only format that removes bottlenecks quickly enough to keep growing. This allows us to offer what most coaching services can’t: pay-on-results.
What Happens When You Release the Brakes?
When you solve problems every week, growth happens surprisingly fast. Your confidence grows. Your ambition returns. Your next milestone of $500k, $1m, $2m, or $5m becomes an expectation.
Client growth stories:
- HR Agency: $300k → $1m in 2.5 years and now closing on $1.5m (Edit: Passed $1.5m and targeting $2.5m)
- Professional Services: $900k → $2m in 12 months and removed owner from delivery
- PT: Doubled business size in 12 months through strategic expansion
- Sports Coach: $35k → $200k+ and successful exit in 2 years
- Ad Agency: 3x revenue growth in 2.5 years

About Dave Gillen
Dave is a Brisbane business coach who always measures results, because of the pay-on-results aspect of his coaching partnerships. His approach is to build marketing and sales systems that generate and convert leads, then quickly remove the growth-related problems that WILL try to derail your growth. Previously a marketer and copywriter for more than 10 years, this skillset also fills a crucial gap in many businesses who don’t yet have a healthy marketing function.
Dave’s Trademarks:
- Translates complex business concepts into simple, actionable steps
- Gives clarity to overloaded, disorganised, and ADHD-ish owners
- Offers pay-on-results partnerships after a short period of due diligence
Track record: 100+ business owners coached in Brisbane and across Australia and New Zealand. Multiple $1m+ growth clients, 3+ year coaching relationships, and clients returning years later for more.

Clients Say
“I enlisted Dave’s help when I left full time teaching to run my business, full time. As you can imagine, the risks involved in doing that were huge. Whilst working with Dave, I have taken my coaching business from a $35k a year, part-time hustle to a $200k+ a year full time one and now I have also started (and sold) several other businesses.”
LP Sports Coach, Brisbane
“Over roughly 2 years my business is now 3x bigger than it was when I started with Dave. I knew about marketing, but knew almost nothing about how to run a business. My goal was to fast-track this, and instead of it taking me maybe 5 years to learn via trial and error, I wanted to work with someone and try to make good progress in 1-2 years. And that’s pretty much what has happened… Dave made the journey fun, enjoyable, engaging. I intend to keep working with him for as long as I’m in business which will hopefully be the next 20 years or so!”
JF Ad Agency, Timaru, NZ
“Everything changed when I started working with Dave. I was overwhelmed, wearing so many hats, I didn’t know where to focus my attention. Dave taught me how to look out for feedback—what is my business telling me—and then find solutions. He helped me find my ideal place in the business. My son is nearly 1 year old now and the business pretty much runs itself. I’ve only just returned back to seeing clients from maternity leave. Stepping back into a business that doesn’t really need me for the nuts and bolts allows me now to do what I’m best at, looking after clients.”

Growth Problems Are Predictable and Solvable
No matter what business problems you are struggling to solve, they all cost you time and money. This is why most business owners end up in the same few places. The classics are discussed below (2-3 minutes).
Problem #1: No Profit
Problem #2: No Life
Problem #3: Yoyo Business
10 Reasons To Stop Looking For Brisbane's "Best" Business Coach and Install a Program of Results Assurance
- This Year vs 5 Years Means Everything
Major life goals are waiting on your business success. Taking 5 to 10 years longer than necessary is not “fine”. - Designed to Reach Your Goal
Most coaching solves isolated issues. This program focuses on the ongoing stream of problems that appear as a business grows. - Wealth Creation
A $200k boost in annual profit can increase the value of the business by $400k. Over $600k in wealth created by one good year. - Mathematics Advantage
Increase your marketing output by several-fold, go from one strategist (you) to two, and increase your execution rate from ten weeks a year to forty plus. - Accountability x52
With a weekly non-negotiable session, decisions get made, actions get taken, and important projects stop drifting.
- Speed of Problem Solving
Growth stalls when problems stack up faster than they’re solved. Weekly coaching keeps you meeting new problems with new solutions. - Mapped 100% to Your Challenges
Growth constantly creates new challenges. Weekly coaching allows you to meat each new problem as it appears. - Cost Efficiency
Embedded coaching replaces dozens of individual solutions by solving problems across all business areas. - Protected Strategic Thinking
Most owners are trapped in operational keep-the-lights-on thinking. Coaching creates protected time for strategy and growth. - Confidence
Overthinking each new problem on your own slows down every step of growth. A weekly sounding board removes this constant friction.
If you want to solve growth problems faster and build a more valuable business, let’s see if this is a fit.
