As a business coach who works exclusively with tradies, I often meet owners who know they have something special, but feel stuck. Sue and Ian from Ponds of Melbourne are a great example of this. After 25 years in business, they had reached a point where progress had stalled. Cash flow pressure, tax stress, and the feeling of going backwards had taken its toll. They knew their business had potential, but they also knew they could not unlock it on their own. One of the biggest turning points for Sue and Ian was recognising their own capability. Through structured coaching, they gained clarity around their numbers, confidence in their pricing, and systems that supported payment on the day. Simple changes, like introducing a capability statement and standardising how the business ran, shifted how they saw themselves, and how clients saw them. Most importantly, they moved away from the “next job, … Read more
I am proud to share this testimonial from Luke and Mikayla at Effluent Solutions Australia. They have been working with me for the past two years, and in that time they have made huge progress in their business, their systems, and their roles as business owners. When they first came to coaching, they were run off their feet. They were struggling to keep up with demand, dealing with cash flow challenges, and unsure about the next steps to take to grow their business. Like many engineers, they were working hard but did not have the structure they needed to move forward with confidence. Since working together, Luke and Mikayla have implemented strong systems, created more structure, and developed clear roles within the business. They now set regular goals, stay accountable, and have a much smoother and more organised operation. One of their biggest wins came from a recruitment strategy I … Read more
L.J.Begg Electrical I’m Liam Begg the owner, operator of LJ Begg Electrical. I got introduced to Hugh through another company he was looking after. They knew I was having troubles with my business structure. I didn’t have much clarity of where I was going with the business. The business before hand I was extremely busy, I didn’t have any workers . I was working for myself, working like a dog and not having any rewards. I was living week to week, and I just had no clarity around the structure as I wasn’t really business minded, I was very “on the tools” minded. Hugh’s helped me get that clarity in, and get my head around actual business and structure and my pricing, and it’s made me be able to put on a couple of blokes and still have that workload coming through. I had nothing in place when it came … Read more
I’m A Tradesman & I Need To Learn Business G’day, I’m David Kuempflein. I’m the Director of Premier Mechanical Australia. We specialize in onsite machinery and highway transport mechanical repairs. We’re based in the Geelong and surrounds area. Today here, we’re in Werribee servicing some client’s gear. I decided to get a business coach because I’m a tradesman and I don’t really know a hell of a lot about business, and I wanted to make sure that throughout the whole process that I made as little and as few mistakes in the business side of things as possible. And so far, it’s been fantastic. We were a sole operator, it was myself and a ute, and as soon as we wanted to expand, we decided to engage the services of Hugh and we haven’t looked back. We’ve now got three vehicles, we’ve got two mechanics, our second mechanic is about … Read more
Jason Spicer From Spicer Building I thought it would be a great idea to go and look for a business coach. I did a bit of exploring. I met with a few other people, and he was probably the best. Definitely the best. That was why I went with him. He’s local, understands Geelong and the other areas, Surf Coast and Bellarine, how businesses operate within the region. He gave me great guidance in getting everything set up correctly. The coaching is awesome. Hugh answers the phone when I ring him, and I’ll be in a tricky situation sometimes. He’s always there to guide me through it. Any advice, always very helpful, great ideas. We catch up every four weeks. We sit down for about two or three hours sometimes and going through how the business is operating, if it’s profitable, and he makes sure that we’re achieving the right … Read more
A Business Coach Is A Great Sounding Board My name’s Lee from Twilight Glamping. We provide luxury, pop up accommodation along the Great Ocean Road in Bellarine Peninsula. We also specialise in large weddings and corporate events where we go and we curate the whole event. So we’ll take 5,000 bell tents, set them all up as a bell tent village. We do large yurt style marquees for weddings as well that can seat up to a couple hundred people. We decided to go with Hugh. Business was going quite well. I just felt like we needed a little bit more direction, a bit of good decision making/risk taking it got us to a point where we were, and I felt like we needed a bit more business guidance to be able to understand our company properly and how we could best grow. It’s been really good in the last … Read more
