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.
Why your business plan is not your business model, and why it matters

Uh oh.

Do you run your business
or does your business run you?
Your business should run itself - without you. Otherwise you don’t have a business. You have a job.
There are two ways to create a real business: Systems and people. Systems should run your business and people should run your systems.
I can help you optimise both.
How the power of the Cloud is transforming businesses
Can you remember what it was like running a business before the mobile phone and internet came along? Neither can I. And I feel the same way now about cloud computing. Here’s how savvy business people are harnessing the power of the Cloud to futureproof and grow their businesses.
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?
Need a little or a lot of help? I’m here for you.
