In 2011 I remember being at work wondering where the last 15 years of my life had gone.

“I was well and truly in the rat race” I said to my self.

Don’t get me wrong I had all the things I was suppose to have in my life to feel content, two amazing children, my soul mate as my wife, but something was missing…

I was a distribution operations manager being involved in some major warehouse and distribution projects over a 15 year period.

I enjoyed the fun and excitement of the design and build, but got bored quickly with the running of them.

I never really knew what I wanted to do long term.

I tended to get headhunted so finding a new challenge came easily. I knew this was not a sustainable career long term.

Then life threw me a lifeline…

I was presented with an opportunity to leave a role with some cash that would last a good while and spent some time working as a freelance “troubleshooter” within businesses that were in “distress”.  I found this kind of work exhilarating.

It was during this time in 2011 that I received a call from “ActionCoach” who said they believed I would make a good business coach!

At first all sorts of negative thoughts ran through my head, ‘I have no idea what they were talking about… Who am I to think I could be a business coach full time… I’m not qualified to do this!

This went on for 2 months, during which time I realised I had found something that I always wanted to do, without knowing about it previously.

I set to work…

Looking back it was the best move I made, I love doing what I do and never want to stop.

Now I’m doing something I never imagined over 10 years ago. I’m helping other people to develop themselves and their businesses to their full potential.

I am working with all types and sizes of businesses and coaching the owners and their teams in achievement of their goals.

I have my own “coaching office” where I meet my clients on a regular basis.

Being part of a Global Franchise gives me great opportunities to connect with the wider coaching community and to travel around the world with my family to conferences and events.

I love helping people who are just like I was not too long ago. Nobody is born knowing how to run a business or manage a team or understand accounts!

But the cool thing is all that can be learned and with regular accountability sessions (Coaching) that knowledge can be implemented and massive results gained.

I love seeing the positive impact that an improving, growing and profitable business can have on the owners and their families.

It is awesome to see how a well run Business can give them more life than they ever believed possible.

This is super important to me because I’ve seen the devastating impact a business failure can have on individuals at all levels, employees to owners.

I’ve also seen how amazing life can be when you DO know what needs to be done. Creating a fantastic vision and then working through the goals that will need to be achieved, learning how to make it happen and then plan and execute. It’s a simple formula but it WORKS.

The ability to run a successful business and understand how to generate increased and growing profits can literally change your life and lives of your family members forever.
