When opportunity came knocking, I jumped at the chance to start up my own fencing business, Australian Unique Fencing. I discovered owning a business can be tough and over time, I was working 80-100 hour weeks. The business was totally disorganised with a team who weren’t the right fit for his business. I came across ActionCOACH  turned my business around. Since I’ve worked with ActionCOACH my profit has increased by 400%! By implementing effective systems and procedures, I’ve cut my working hours in half. We overhauled the team and hired people who were right for the business. We’ve even opened another factory and are employing four more people. By getting an ActionCOACH, I’ve saved more money than I’ve spent and highly recommend getting a Coach.

Well established family business, TRJ Engineering has been operating for 32 years. I took the business over from my father 10 years ago and has been running it ever since. I found myself working more than 70 hours a week, having to focusing on the day-to-day operation of the business. I thought this was normal since this is how my father operated the business. I was highly strung and felt I was missing out on spending time with his family. At just the right time, I met ActionCOACH, Zed Morrey. I needed some new ideas and a change of direction for the business. After just 9 months of working with ActionCOACH, my sales have increased by 17% and profits have improved by an amazing 30%! The business is now highly structured and systemized. I am much more effective with my time and I’ve been able to pass these skills on to my 23 team members. As a result, I now choose to work a regular 5 day week and have a lot more time to spend with my family and kids. You just can’t put a price on that.

I have always had the desire to run my own business. Five years ago I realized I had a dream of owning my own business and purchased a Mortgage Choice franchise, helping clients to find the right home loans to suit their needs. Like many business owners, I was working long hours and felt like I was not reaping the rewards of owning my own business. The growth of my business was slow and frustrating. It didn’t matter how hard I worked, the results were not in proportion to my efforts. I was doing a lot of work I didn’t enjoy and my team was not operating effectively.Having already heard of ActionCOACH, I decided I needed to do something and contacted ActionCOACH, David Grunseit. Since I’ve been with ActionCOACH, I am more focused on the business and have clarity about exactly where I want to take it. I’ve hired 2 new team members, reduced my working hours by up to 30%, and there is now a renewed energy in the business and more excitement about achieving our goals.

I’m a qualified naturopath, acupuncturist, herbalist and message therapist. I went into business to help people improve their health, but after 20 years found the business had become disjointed with no future direction.That all changed once I met ActionCOACH, Steve Baker. Before I had an ActionCOACH, I was highly reactive and felt like all I was doing was putting out fires all day.  Now I am far more focused than ever before. As a result, sales turnover has increased by 21%, I’ve bumped up my average dollar sale, have a better client retention rate, hired three new team members and fine tuned the business’ systems. ActionCOACH has made me more accountable and changed my life in so many ways. I have more time to spend with my family plus time to focus on building my business rather than working in it. The only way to achieve success in business is by having a coach … so do it!
