Reset Your Business and Get Back to Being the One in Charge

Here you are. You started your business about something you’re really great at, and then it came with all this other business stuff.

You might be great at what your business does. But how great are you (really) at running your business? 

It’s all this other stuff that makes it hard. 

And not knowing what to focus on makes it all feel even harder. And then you start to spin out and it feels like your business is running over you.

You should be the one running the show! We’ll help you remember what you started this business for and get back to being the one in charge. Work with us and remember what it is to make good money, enjoy things, and no longer be a dickhead boss to yourself.

I've been using these lovely ladies to grow my business for the last year. I can honestly say with their help and guidance my business revenue has grown 35% in the last year and my net profit has doubled.

Thank you so much Robyn and Alana

Clear the fog and get back to running a profitable business that brings you joy

When you’re running your business, you’re often busy doing what you do. It’s easy to miss some of the simple (not easy) business foundations, strategies or habits that help make running your business easier. 

Here’s some of what we can help you with:

Financial confidence & cashflow planning

Stop being scared of looking at your numbers and take your financial know-how to the next level. Understand what you’re looking at when we dive into the basics of finance in business, cash flow and financial forecasting. Take home a tailored 12 month cashflow plan that integrates with how your Xero is set up.

Get confident with pricing and profit

Building a profitable business happens with intention, not accidentally. We’ll help you step back, look at that big picture, and price right both for where you are now and where you want to grow. Stop being over worked and underpaid and get your business profitable quick sharp! Walk away with a solid pricing strategy and tools so you can get any new services priced right in the future, too.

Business Model reset & review

Making sure you have a business model that works for you is one of the most essential ingredients for business success. You’re slogging away doing the right things, getting customers, doing the mahi but it feels like you’re not actually making any money. It may be that you don’t have a business model that works. No amount of planning and laying great foundations is going to help if your actual business design is wonky. Sometimes you need some help (back at the drawing board) to create something that actually works. Leave with a business model blueprint that you know will turn into profit, that you will enjoy running, and that you know works for you!

Turning your plans into actions

Fill your week with the right actions rather than having all the ideas, but none of the business results you want. Your mindset, patterns, habits and how you construct your day are key to stopping procrastination. We’ll also help you learn about the importance of resilience and flexibility to bounce back when the sh*t hits the fan. Walk away with an ideal week planned and a list of must, should and could dos for your business. 

Creating your business vision

Understand what your big picture thinking is. What are you creating? Why are you creating this? What’s your version of a successful business? Create a 10 year plan that works for both life and business, broken down into 1, 2 and five year goals to make it happen.

Developing your business values

If you’re going to take a stand with your business, what is it that you stand for? Knowing your values makes it easier to choose what actions to take in your business, what products and services to offer and who you want to work with. Create your business values and get really clear on how and where you will most be using them.

12-month or 90-day planning

Planning stops you from wasting time and effort. And brings your workday into focus. But that’s easier said than done when you’re a business owner isn’t it?! We’ll help you take all that’s in your brain, all the potential of a year and break it up into quarterly focus blocks. You’ll also learn to stay nimble regarding what might crop up. A  90 day planning session will create the most impactful quarter you’ve had in business yet! Create your short list of tactics that align to your wider strategy, and  the planning skills to reuse this every quarter for real business results. Includes a library of hundreds of proven business actions you can choose from time and again so you don’t overthink what needs to be done.

Say “yeah, nah” to one-size-fits-all business advice

It’s easy to fall for the quick fixes.

There’s no formula for awesomeness because everyone’s awesome is different. 

That’s why coaching with us focuses on clarifying what success looks like to you. 

And helps you build your business to make it happen.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve helped hundreds of business owners crawl out from under their businesses, tell it to stop being a dick, and get on with telling it exactly what they want it to do.

And then make it happen. 

Not your average business coaching

More than just a piece of paper. Co-create a living document that captures what your business is all about.

We help you cut the noise, and get clear on what matters. 

Create a rock solid business plan for awards, lending applications or just for the smug feeling of knowing you’ve done the thinking to make sure your doing creates the results you want.  

Get out of the spin of busy-ness owner mode.

Take all that’s in your head, and turn it into a set of clear priorities and business tactics for success in the next 90 days and into the rest of the year.  

Keep your eye on your strategy, stay out of the weeds, creating business momentum in less time with less fuss.

Accountability, skill building and focus. That’s what keeps your plans on track. 

We’ll help you step through a mix of strategy, learning, skill building and doing to get out of stress mode and into success mode – with business habits that last!

Learn from the best, and create not just a solid foundation, but also lasting business habits for profit, perspective and purpose.

So. What do you think?
Are you ready to shake things up?

If your business is running you into the ground rather than giving you wings. 

Or, the stress and worry are giving you that Sunday 3 pm sense of dread. 

If you’re ready to tell your business to stop being a dick and pull its head in. Or stop it from getting dick status in the first place. 

Starting from $695 + GST we will help you make that happen.

Deep dive, strategy session". As a self-employed consultant, and now looking at the next steps for my business, I found this invaluable. As a female entrepreneur, the juggle is so real trying to balance, family and running a business. Alana provided me with clarity to focus and drive my business forward and understood everything I was saying to provide me with energy and excitement about the future of my business. She simply "just gets it". She was so relatable, real, and honest and the feedback was 100% on point and supportive. HIGHLY Recommended !

How do I know which service I need?

Do I need help creating an initial business plan or strategy from scratch, or reviewing/revising an existing plan?

If it’s the first, our business planning service could be a good fit. If the latter, the business clarity sessions may work.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed trying to juggle everything yourself?

If so, our no stress success coaching could provide needed accountability and support.

Do you know where you want your business to go but struggle to break down the big picture into actionable steps?

Our business clarity sessions will help with this tactical planning.

 

Do you want a short-term series of coaching conversations to tackle a specific challenge or longer-term support to build lasting habits?

The business planning and clarity sessions are more defined, while the no stress success coaching last for up to 6 months.

 

.

Is your business model itself unclear or do you just need help optimizing an existing model?

If it’s a business model issue, a model reset clarity session is what you need.

Do you think you’re already doing the right activities but not getting desired results?

If so, the issue is likely higher level strategy, not tactical implementation. Choose the Business Plan session.

What is your budget right now?

The one off sessions offer lower financial commitment while the ongoing support is a larger investment but more wrap around support – so pays off long-term.

How much access to us do you want between sessions?

When you choose a la carte (Business Clarity Session) you get in between support, but ongoing support sits within the No Stress Success option.

 

If you’re not sure what your actual problem is, start with a one off session so we can diagnose and then give you both a short term booster of focus and help, then map out which option is best moving forward. (We hate to do ourselves out of business, but we’re that good, one session might just be all you need!)

Sounds good, but I have questions

Good on you, we do our best work with clever and curious humans – so that means you’re at the right page on this website if you’re looking at the details! Hopefully these help:

I’m in stagnation mode – how will you help me get through this?

Stagnation is icky, and can be hard to get out of on your own. Working with us, we’ll get to the bottom of what’s causing that stagnation, and tackle that together. Whether that’s by falling back in love with your big vision again, or if it’s breaking things down into focused, doable steps to create momentum. Our accountability will keep you on track and break the cycle of ho-hum.

I want to take my business to the next level, but I know I’m my own worst enemy, how can you help?

Ah, we feel you! We’ll build your confidence through encouragement, while also challenging you to step outside your comfort zone. We’re super honest, but also super kind. It works wonders when creating results in changing how you show up and act as a business owner who is set for success!

I’m not confident on my pricing – how does working with you help me with that?

We’ll walk you through proven pricing frameworks to determine your costs, customers’ perceived value, and competitive landscape. Then, together we’ll validate your pricing, sense check your revenue goals, and help you get clear on what to do as you get out there into selling mode. You’ll learn financial fundamentals that allow you to price for both profit (and cashflow) now as well as have room to grow while you maintain profitability. We’ll also work to help you address any inner blocks around worthiness that impact pricing.

I’m crap with my money and scared I’m going to mess my business up as a result – can you help?

Yes! We’re proud to say that we’re a special kind of superhero when it comes to real world money mindset success. We’ll demystify financial reports so you understand the key numbers and metrics to watch. You’ll gain financial clarity and control and learn how to work with Xero. Using our coaching calls to be taken through personalised tools, we’ll help you build financial management disciplines like tracking cash flow, forecasting, and revenue goal setting. Working with us makes financial fundamentals understandable and actionable. You’ll gain skills and confidence to manage the money side with ease and never feel in the dark about your business finances again. There are no dumb questions with us!

.

What specific frameworks do you use when helping create a business plan?

We pull from various planning models like Lean Canvas, Business Model Canvas, One Page Business Plan, The School Of Life (😉) and classic business planning formats based on your needs. Our secret sauce business planning framework weaves together the best elements of various strategic planning models into one comprehensive guide.

For the sessions, what does the process look like? How long are the sessions?

Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes long, conducted over Zoom, and follow a flexible coaching framework tailored to your needs in that moment. We design and run each session uniquely based on your current challenges and goals, blending structured exercises with free-flowing strategy discussions. You will walk away from every session with clarity, priorities, and an action plan and full access to recordings and transcripts to go back over anything you need or want to.

How can you help me build lasting business habits – do you provide, accountability, tools, frameworks, or what specifically?

Regardless of which option you pick, coaching with us provides consistent accountability through regular check-ins, goal reviews, and committed action steps between our sessions. Depending on what works best for you, your unique personality and business model, we’ll share from our resources library the tools and templates that will work best for you.

What are some of the outcomes I can expect from the business planning or business clarity sessions?

You’ll leave with a written strategic plan or tactical action plan documenting your priorities, goals, strategies, and task list. Clarity, focus, and renewed motivation to propel you forward. And tools (with new skills) to maintain that clarity going forward. Full recording & transcription from the session.

What makes you guys different?

When you’ve cosied up to humans, business, and money for as long as we have, you see some patterns. While you are unique, often the answers are not, and while it’s likely not much help, no matter how great you are, everyone struggles to see perspective when we’re in our own muck.

We’ve got the experience, compassion and skills to get you seeing a way through yours, quickly. It takes empathy to get you to open up, experience to spot the patterns and wisdom to turn that into a solution. We also happen to infuse ours with humour and real talk. Because life is too short to give you sh*t answers.
