What can I help you with?

WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF YOUR BUSINESS?

Most business people are. Especially as the pace of change, innovation and disruption is increasing all the time.
What can you do about that? The first thing is to stop worrying and start imagining the future. What would your ideal business look like? Where would you like to take it? What’s holding you back from doing that?
If your answer to the last question is your Business Model, Systems or People, I have the experience and skills to help you improve your business, inspire your people and develop a culture of innovation and change.

The best way to predict the future is to create the future

Either Abraham Lincoln or Peter Drucker said that, depending on who you believe.

I’ve been helping to create the future for a while now.



I became involved in direct marketing when only the term ‘advertising’ was properly understood. 

I managed some of the first shopping centres in New Zealand. I set up one of the first call centres for a bank, when you didn’t call banks, you went to their branches. I founded the first nationwide home renovation franchise, which has now been copied by two other groups. And today as a business and franchise consultant, it is my honour and privilege to work with many innovative business people who are changing the face of business and franchising.

(AND WHY IT MATTERS)

Here’s where 99.99% of business owners get confused. 
We’ve been taught that the tool for developing strategy in our businesses is a business plan.

Uh oh.

WHY YOU NEED A MENTOR

Mentoring can increase a company’s odds of success more than almost anything else, according to studies. That’s why franchisors sell the fact that franchising is about being in business for yourself, but not by yourself. But what about the franchisors themselves?

THE ONE ‘C’ THAT MICHAEL DELL LEFT OUT OF HIS 
3 C’S OF SUCCESS

Before we go any further, I have to concede that Michael Dell is far wealthier than me. So who am I to criticise his now-classic treatise on business success? Well, actually, I not only think he left a ‘C’ out, I think he bombed out on one of his own ‘C’s’.
WHAT ‘C’S’ WERE THESE?
