Best year in 25 years of business

It’s been an exciting time since you started business coaching sessions with Paul. I’ve been with him for just on four years now and the changes I’ve seen since he engaged your services last year are truly remarkable. He’s a great bloke who works so hard to succeed in his business and with your help now (together with the small team he has built), he’s well on his way!

Navigating unexpected hurdles

Dave has been amazing! I’ve learned so much from business coaching on all aspects of running and growing my business, including branding, sales, product management, staffing and so much more.

He helped me navigate a huge new business venture for an amazing price which doubled my business size and revenue. Highly recommend Dave for any level of venture!

I have worked with Dave for two years at the time of writing.

Firstly and most importantly, he has become a great friend. This also is an indication of Dave’s coaching style. He is a facilitator of business growth and growth mindset.

Dave always makes me feel confident in my business dealings, yet he’s not averse to constructive — and welcome — critique. He gets the balance right constantly.

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-plus full-time business, and I have also started (and sold) several other businesses.

Dave is brilliant. Hire him!
