I Help Founders Who’ve Outgrown Their Own Business
You built this for freedom. Somewhere it became a trap.
Revenue grew. So did the dependency. Every decision waits for you. Your team needs approval. Your calendar owns you.
You’re successful. And exhausted.
I’ve spent 17 years inside businesses at exactly this stage.
Not theory. Not frameworks learned from books. Pattern recognition built from 3,500+ real situations: what works, what traps founders, what actually creates leverage.
Follow us on:
What I Do
I mentor established founders (typically $300K to $1M+ in revenue) who have proven offers and real clients but feel stuck inside their own success.
I don’t motivate. I don’t coach feelings. I help you see what to fix first, what to delete, and what to stop carrying yourself.
Some founders come in mid-rebuild. Everything feels broken. Good. We fix what’s broken first.
Others come in strong. They just need calibration. Good. We sharpen what works.
Either way, within 48 hours you know exactly what to change first and what that change will create.
Results
- $400M+ in documented client revenue growth
- 3,500+ businesses mentored
- Average client tenure: 5–7 years
- Longest client relationship: 16 years
Clients stay because every week their business gets sharper. Every conversation compounds. The value doesn’t run out.
Background
Before this, I spent a decade at Mercedes-Benz, finishing as General Manager of a Sydney dealership network. I learned systems, leverage, and how to run operations without being the bottleneck.
Since 2005, I’ve worked exclusively with online business owners. I’ve built and sold multiple seven-figure businesses. I co-founded VisionFind. I wrote Work Less, Make More.
I surf most days. I work 10–15 hours a week. My business runs without me in it constantly.
That’s not a flex. That’s the point.
Who This Is For
You run a real business. $300K+ revenue. Paying clients. Proven delivery.
You’re not looking for motivation. You’re looking for someone who sees the whole picture and tells you what to do next.
If you’re under $300K or still proving your offer, come back when you have traction.
If you’ve built something real but it’s consuming your life, see how Mentor works.
