Book Your Complimentary 45-Minute Strategy Session With Daniel Below
“I look back to how things were before we worked with Dan and think “how did I sleep at night”. We thought we had things as under control as we could get them, but we wanted to even things out and make the business better.
With Dan’s help, we ironed out a lot of staff headaches, systems and processes, the nitty gritty.
When you go into business, no one gives you an education about how to run it. You learn as you go, and to be honest, if we’d known about Dan earlier, it would have made a world of difference."
"Michael was working 70-80 hours a week including weekends before we started working with Daniel. Our kids were 3 and 5 and they just got used to Dad being away, even though the business wasn’t paying anywhere near the hours Michael was working.
We hardly saw each other and when we did, we were both quite stressed.
Today, we’ve tripled our income (a 228% increase in profit). Paid off debt. Even took a holiday. Michael works 50 hours a week these days. Rarely on weekends.
It’s more about actually just enjoying life now."

I’m based in Canterbury and work with tradies all over NZ.
I’ve been in business all my working life, and have helped hundreds of tradies get their business working harder for them… instead of the other way around.
My real world business background includes:
Long story short? I’ve spent the past 3 decades in the small business trenches.
Even better, I’m a specialist in helping trades business owners “nail the business side” — and finally get what they deserve from all their hard work.
Even if you know your numbers well, it’s likely you’re still getting knocked about by surprises that set you back (and cost you big $).
What if you could get on top of your cashflow for good — and start liking what you see when you log into your accounts each week?
I’ll help you see the things your accountant can’t, so you can get in control of your profits and stay there.

Good news: you don’t have to compete on price or cook up complicated sales and marketing plans to land the jobs you want.
We’ll look at the kind of jobs that work for you, how to land them consistently, and which ones it’s time to leave behind.
I’ll help you say goodbye to the jobs that cost you more time and stress than they’re worth, without creating a big hole in your cash flow.

You can build a team that works to your standards and has your back, even when you’re not there to check on them.
It’s not about babysitting. It’s about getting everyone in sync. I can show you how.

Don’t keep sinking more time, money and stress into a business that isn’t serving you.
With a few key shifts, you can have a business that makes sense for your life and helps you hit your goals.
Whether you’re after more growth, more time off, or want to ready the business for sale, you can start making moves now that make it a possibility — sooner than you think.

Best of all? When we work together, growing your business doesn’t mean your to-do list gets bigger. (Most times, it gets smaller — fast.)
Whatever you’re up against, there’s a good chance I’ve already helped someone else get through to the other side (and after 12 years working with hundreds of tradies, you can bet I’ve seen and heard it all).
On the call, we’ll chat about:
Where you're at: what's working, what's not? Bring your latest Profit & Loss statement so we can really dig in. I’ll help you connect the dots you couldn’t see before.
Where do you want to be? We’ll talk about what you want your business to do for you and how you want your life to look.
What's getting in the way? We’ll chat through the top 1-3 things you need to prioritise to start making those changes happen.
It’s important to bring your partner to the call if they’re involved in the business too. Even the best advice won’t work if you aren’t on the same page.
It goes without saying, but of course whatever you share with me will stay 100% confidential.
I’ll ask a lot of questions to get a real sense of where you’re at, so I can recommend the best plan of attack for how to get where you want to be in the next 6-12 months.
(Yes, if you’re committed, it really can happen that fast.)
“I was stuck in a whirlwind before I hired Daniel. Going backwards, not forward. We’d gone from a one-man show to employing a bunch of people. I didn’t know how to control what 8 or 9 guys were doing and how they were doing it.
What we’ve achieved over the last 7 months of working with Daniel, it’s phenomenal. Profit has improved by $88,000. That’s another $12,000 extra per month going forward.
If you’re in the same position as we were: margins not where they needed to be, cashflow issues, general management issues… then it’s a no brainer. The money you’ll invest in working with Daniel… you won’t even consider it after 6 months."
"I was skeptical when I first signed on to work with Daniel. I already had certain things in place, but the stuff Daniel said made me be better.
If you feel like your business is going flat, or some months you're making money, some months you're losing money, and you're wondering why, then Dan puts it all in perspective.
The bigger jobs have been rolling in. I've also freed up a heap of time, probably 5 hours a week. I’ve got more time for family.
Now it's a business instead of a job. We’re now a half million dollar company and still growing."

Your 45-minute strategy session with me is free, no strings attached.
I’ll help you pinpoint what’s not working, what needs your attention, and the first steps to get back in control.
This single conversation will give you massive clarity on where your focus needs to go next, so you can get closer to the business you want — instead of just “keeping up” with the work you’ve got, staying busy… and ultimately, staying stuck.
This kind of perspective and clear feedback is invaluable, no matter what you’re up against right now. It’s my job to see the stuff you can’t. Our chat will very likely be the best thing you’ll do for your business all week.
From there, if it seems I could help you with implementation and ongoing support, we’ll chat about how that could look. No pressure, and I’ll be the first to tell you if I think you’d be better off trying something else first.
The next move is yours. Many see the answer in front of them but don’t take that final step to get help where they need it. Years later they are stuck in the same old problems, except now they are even more frustrated.
The only real way to know is to take the next step. Is it worth a small amount of your time to find out?
"Before working with Daniel, I always seemed to have money to pay the guys and things like that. But at the end of the year when you actually looked at the numbers, there just wasn’t anything left. There was a feeling of “I should be doing better”, rather than just working for a wage.
Gross margins have improved by 14% extra in the last 10 months — that’s worth an extra $85,000 to us. My understanding of the numbers and what they actually mean has hugely improved.
Since working with Daniel, I’m certainly much happier. It’s re-energised me too. For the first time in a while I’m excited for the year ahead."
“Taking over Dad's business, Olivia and I decided that if we’re going to run it, we’re going to run it profitable. And still have time for family, which is what we’re doing it for.
To get there, we needed to learn more about how to improve the figures and how to run the behind-the-scenes.
This year, our cash flow and margins are better, and we have added $90,000 extra profit, and also been able to give ourselves a pay rise which we couldn’t do before.
Dad has now fully handed over and been happy to step back and let go. We’ve all very happy with the results.”
