Build a business that takes less out of you
Not one that wears you down
Capable. Committed. Flat out?
​Most trade and service business owners don’t need more effort or more ideas.
They need to work on the right things, in the right order.
I work with owners in three core areas.
Each one addresses a different source of pressure in the business.
Some owners focus on one area only.
Others move through two or three over time.
There’s no fixed sequence. We start where it matters most.
Profit improvement
Get on top of profit and cashflow
​
Many owners work hard but don't fully trust what the numbers are telling them. The reports are there, but they don't give a clear picture of where profit and cash are being made or lost. Decisions end up relying on instinct, and that only works for so long.
Profit improvement gives you a small set of numbers you can actually use, numbers that help you see what's really happening and make decisions with more confidence.
​
Business Planning
Turn effort into progress
​
Other owners are flat out but not moving forward. The work that would genuinely improve the business keeps getting pushed aside by day-to-day demands. You're busy, but the business isn't changing in the way you want it to.
​
Business planning gives you the space and structure to step back, see the business as a whole, and decide what actually matters. It turns scattered effort into consistent progress.
​
Process and Structure
Reduce dependency on yourself
​​
Some owners feel like they're holding the whole business together. The interruptions, every decision, the work that comes back because expectations and processes aren't clear. It all adds up. You can't step back without something slipping, and the business starts to feel like it's running you.
Process and structure work helps you improve the way work flows through the business, so you're not the one catching everything.
​
Coaching and implementation
Turn good plans into steady progress
Change and implementation can be hard. The plan is there, the priorities are known, but week-to-week pressure gets in the way. Urgent jobs push out important improvements. Good intentions fade. Progress stalls.
Coaching keeps the right work in front of you. It gives you structure, accountability, and practical support so progress continues and the business becomes easier to run.
Coaching helps you stay focused on what matters most for the business, not just what’s urgent today.

It helps pinpoint where pressure is sitting and what’s most likely to make a difference first.
