Grant & Sally increase profits by a massive 186% in just 9 months — while reducing workload & worry.

“Daniel helped us put the right systems in place so the business could become less reliant on Grant, while also increasing profits without compromising on the quality of our service.

With Daniel’s continued support we were also able to increase our profit by a massive 186% in just nine months, and have over doubled our sales and staff at the same time. 

The different perspective and direction was invaluable and helped reduce inevitable tensions that can arise in a husband/wife team!!”

Barney & Wendy got thru a local recession in great shape (and are finally taking that 4-day workweek).

“In previous downturns, we’ve had to scale back and ride it out. But with Daniel’s help, this time was different.

While other trades here have had to lay 5-6 people off, and are really struggling, we’ve been able to keep all our staff and are still in great shape.

One of the biggest benefits is that we only work 4 days a week now, no weekends, and have holidays overseas. When we get back from holidays, it’s organised (we used to come back to chaos and stress).”

Jaco & Fiona found a better approach — and an extra 43% in profit.

“We’d talked to another business coach before Daniel, and he was promising all this big stuff, it was pressure pressure, wanting us to sign for a really long term or give us any time to think about it.

Daniel was completely different. When we talked to him initially, he said “this is what I can do”, wrote it all down, talked us through it. We didn’t have any hesitation signing on because of Daniel’s openness about what he was offering. We felt really comfortable with his approach and support.

The hours we spend are more effective now. And Fiona is doing less. 6 months ago it was 2 or 3 hours every night, 20+ per week. Now it’s cut in half.

Even though we decided to reduce some lines we still achieved an 8% increase in sales over the year. And profits have improved a healthy 43%.”

Rene & MJ went from “business blindness” to healthy profits with 185% increase in margin.

“In Holland there is a term we use called “business blindness” — when you work a certain way and can’t work out how to change things.

Since working with Daniel we have increased our margins by over 185% because we are now doing the right kind of work, rather than jobs we can’t make money off. 

We now have healthy profits instead of painful losses. It’s a huge turnaround and we’re really happy.”

Mike & Olivia got 90k more profit and stronger cashflow for the family business.

“Taking over Dad’s business, Olivia & I decided that if we’re going to run it, we’re going to run it profitable. 

This year, our 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.

Cashflow is also easier now, only once we’ve had to go to the bank, where normally we used to do it several times a year. Before, cashflow was tight, but now we have brought our limit down, and we’re sitting between $40,000-$70,000 below that.”

Simple tweaks helped Dean & Jane double their profits and increase sales by 40%.

“Daniel put the strategies he gave us into easy-to-understand language for our business. Like getting 2% extra, when Daniel talks about it, you can understand it, you see it, it’s achievable.

If the accountant had said “get 2% extra” we would have been like, 2% out of what, where, how do we do that? We’d have gone away and never thought about it again.

We’ve increased our profit just by adjusting two little key lines that we hadn’t priced well. That alone has made a $20,000 a year difference to business.

Overall, sales have increased 40%. Gross profit margins increased by 40%. Profits have exactly doubled.”

Jeff & Sarah go from cashflow stress to highly profitable — with a 7-10x return on investment in just 9 months.

“We’ve found Daniel invaluable. He is approachable and we know we can share our business affairs with confidentiality assured. We enjoyed hearing real-life case studies or other client’s experiences and hurdles they have had to get over like us.

We like Daniel’s trade specific focus and he was able to teach us the art of discipline in the office and achieving tasks in a timely manner. We have the tools now to move forward more efficiently. 

From our initial investment, we’ve got 7-10 times the return in a 9-month window working with Daniel.”

…. And it’s the same no-nonsense approach that helped David survive a $230,000 fallout from a job gone wrong, build his “war chest” and smooth out cashflow:

“We’ve found Daniel invaluable. He is approachable and we know we can share our business affairs with confidentiality assured. We enjoyed hearing real-life case studies or other client’s experiences and hurdles they have had to get over like us.

"We went through a big period of growth last year to survive a bad debt from a job that went wrong and cost us about $230,000.… enough to make your eyes water.

We’d already made it through a year with that hanging over our head, and I engaged Daniel to see how I could survive this. We were making money but it was all sinking into paying that bad debt. We needed to make more money and make it more productively. So those first 6 months of us working together were basically about fighting fires and reinforcing the business to make sure we could keep moving forward.

Daniel helped us build our war chest and secure the funds we needed to survive. We’ve sustained a pretty quiet winter and kept all the guys busy. We’ve also put new structures in place around time management to make sure we’re not losing time or missing out on things.

I knew I’d made the right choice in hiring Daniel pretty early because he has an ability to look at what’s happening in the business, see what’s really going on and look for solutions: like, “you’re gonna need this, this, and this — and get control of this to survive.”
