Our Business Coaching Client Testimonials

 

Solar Hot Water and Power - Penrith

I started working with Andrew in October 09 with a little bit of hesitation as I'm not the type of person to ask for help. By the end of the second visit I had complete faith.  It wasn't that my business was going down hill it just wasn't going up.

I was sick of going up and down on the spot. Now a year down the track I've got systems in place for just about everything and have a good steady stream of work. I have also employed an extra 2 people and now have a lot more time on my hands to work on my business and even better I can take time off without having to stress due to the fact I've employed the right type of people thanks to the tips Andrew gave me. 

I really appreciate what he has done for our company and I couldn't speak highly enough of him. I would be more than happy to recommend him to help any type of business. There doesn't appear to be much he can't do. 
Shane H. - Penrith

 

Restaurant Owner - Hogs Breath Cafe

I would like to sincerely thank you for the positive impact you have made on my business and personal life. Despite having many years in the hospitality industry, you have helped me to look at business in a more structured and meaningful way.

I was most impressed with the way you helped me turn potentially costly and negative situations into opportunities to be taken advantage of.  This style of thinking has been very advantages to me.

Finally, your encouragement to pursue my entrepreneurial dream of opening 5 restaurants overseas will offer me a future I would have only dreamed of in the past.   I have and will continue to strongly recommend you and your organisation to others, I know they will get GREAT VALUE!  Thanks Andrew”…
Jason P - Hogs Breath Cafe Clarendon

 

Ultratune - Blacktown, Mt Druitt, Seven Hills, Dural

As I am sure you will remember when we first met, I had been in my Ultratune business for 4 ½ years and quite dissatisfied with my direction or be it lack of.

During your program and our time together you showed me that I was more than just a mechanic working in my business, I was the business owner.

These days I don't really see myself as a mechanic but as more of an entrepreneur.

 I have taken myself out of 2 X 50% partnerships in which there was no real direction. To owning 100% of the better one, and going on to purchasing the majority share of another, which is now showing excellent returns in less than 12 months.  With my new line of thinking I have gone on to set up another company as well as other professional financial structures to better deal with my increased income from my 2 stores.  

I also now have a great team of managers and staff who help with the day to day running of both stores. They have been selected and trained using the systems and skills you taught me.  I enjoy holding meetings with my team and motivating them in the same way you did with me.   It’s SO true that you get the people you deserve and I’m GLAD that I now have the GREAT people I deserve…

I am now in the enviable position of being able to pretty much leave the day to day running of the stores to my team and concentrate my time on the more important and for me, enjoyable things, like advertising and promotions, looking for new ventures (e.g. investment property and more businesses) as well even the odd weekday fishing trip here and there when I get the urge… Something I could NEVER have considered back when my business relied on me, and I was working those long hours in my business. 

Thanks again for your help…
Alan G - Mt Druitt, Blacktown & Dural

Plumbing Services - Sydney

PlumberAndrew helped us to streamline our processes & reduce our paperwork thus enabling us to create a better work life balance which is exactly what we wanted & needed.

House Boat Hire & Restaurant

House Boat Holiday“Andrew from Smart Biz Consulting is worth his weight in Gold”
From his advice and passion for improving businesses and personal wealth, we have turned our house boat company from a small battling business to a well oiled machine with potential beyond our wildest dreams

It is not a question of do we need his coaching as we first thought, the question was, how far do we want to go and how quick do we want to get there?

Andrew guided us through barriers that cannot be done on your own in today’s busy times and we would strongly recommend Andrews coaching to any business at any level and from our experience dealing with Andrew his genuine passion to make our business strive further cannot be matched.
Darren & Kell - Hawkesbury

“When we first looked at Coaching it seemed expensive, but now I think it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.

Mike V - Seven Hills

We recently embarked on a project to help strengthen the needs and demands of our growing business. It was important that we gained advice from an individual with experience. Andrew guided our company through some critical issues, with Advice always at call and nothing was ever a problem.

We would like to thank you sincerely for the great work. It certainly was a pleasure to gain advice and know how from a positive individual like yourself who worked consistently to help us achieve the high standards and gaols we have set out for our company.

Sign Writing

I’m writing to thank you very much for your help and assistance in my sign business. “Before you started helping us, we didn’t know which direction we were heading. There was no motivation and our monthly turnover was low.

Although the first 3 months were hard, now we are more organised, our work is processed faster and our turnover has more than DOUBLED!!!  I highly recommend you to any of my friends who are in business. Once again, Thank you Andrew…
Lorraine B - Blacktown / Kings Park

 

Automotive Repairs

When I started on your program I was disorganised and chasing my tail every day. I had no time to focus on working ON my business in the areas of marketing and systems.  Your Coaching has given me control of my business.

I have an almost constant stream of A Grade clients, and my PROFITS are UP by more than 50% in 8 months (There’s my coaching paid for and the new fishing boat as well!) Most importantly, I have a new ATTITUDE and OUTLOOK on my life, which is EXCITING to say the least. I strongly recommend your services to anyone who wants to EMPOWER their LIFE! Thanks again from me and my family.
Kevin L - Parramatta

 

Design & Development

“Working with Andrew over the past 6 months has given me the CONFIDENCE to run my business on sound business principals, the COURAGE to test my goals, along with the METHODOLOGY to achieve them.

Andrew is always there with cheerful encouragement and positive advice when I need it, and offers me tailor-made ideas for MY business, not just based on a ‘formula’ for success.

I recommend Andrew’s services to anyone requiring advice on running their business, and would welcome anyone giving me a call to discuss how Andrew has helped me with mine”…

Commercial Pest Services

I found Andrew’s Coaching process invaluable. When we set up our Marketing, Operations and Administrations systems using Andrew’s approach, we found them to be very SIMPLE for our team to follow, and extremely effective in saving us lots of time and money.

His advice on Marketing was also immensely useful. After implementing our Results Action Plan our Turnover is up by 63%, we have 2 extra service vehicles, and our profits are up by over $80,000  in 11 months.

Even though the process is challenging, it is a must for any owner seeking to develop their business. It's been THE  BEST investment we have ever made, and recommend it strongly. Thank you again.
Bruce and Sharon G - Blacktown / Norwest

 

Hamburger Restaurant

Thank you for helping me so much with my business. You have changed my perception of what’s possible, and my new ideas are now becoming reality. When you told me what you had done for others, quite frankly I found your stories hard to believe, but now I guess I am now one of them.

Our PROFITS are up by 34%, and the packages we put in place, along with the service improvements you suggested have made us SO BUSY that I will probably need to expand!

And I thought I was going under with no hope! How wrong was I.
If you can’t afford it, do it anyway.
Andrews help will be the BEST investment you EVER MAKE
Thanks Andrew.
Robert S - Penrith

Electronic Security

When we started working with Andrew, our initial intention was to develop a successful marketing program for our struggling business. Andrews experience meant that our whole team ended up not only focussed on marketing but also addressing a whole range of wider issues in our business.

I now have a FOCUSED TEAM who CARE about my business as much as I, and Andrew focused our attention on discovering a whole new opportunity in our industry, which we never would have looked at without him.

This opportunity has already DOUBLED our TURNOVER and will mean MILLIONS of dollars in EXTRA Profit through leveraging with other businesses… THANK YOU!
