Group Business Coaching
Empower Yourself With The Resources You Need to Succeed

You're Business Can't Survive on Good Ideas & Hard Work Alone

As entrepreneurs we have a lot in common.

… We set big goals
… We hustle hard
… And refuse to quit

We believe in the unlimited power of the individual!

After all, we’ve seen businesses rise from ‘homegrown garage startups’ to revolutionaries in their fields.
But the stories we hear in the media don’t match the everyday reality most business owners experience. The truth is…

76 Percent of Small Business - Innovest statistic

76% of Business Failures Are Due to Lack of Knowledge & Support

Most Businesses Lack The Knowledge & Support They Need to Thrive

Succeeding in any business – big or small – is a massive feat that involves overcoming daily problems from all directions. At any one time, you could be juggling cash flow woes, customer service disasters, legal liabilities, and more!

Why make the journey harder for yourself when you could be surrounded with the expert guidance, supportive community, and resources you need to skyrocket your growth?

Who is Business Coaching For?

We work with entrepreneurs in all stages of business, whether you’re a complete newbie or seasoned pro.

Rick Chisholm

"Rick has helped me with my business and personal development and I will owe him for a long time to come!"

Rick Chisholm is a serial entrepreneur & ‘no B.S.” business mentor. Starting from nothing, Rick pulled himself up by his bootstraps and founded 28 companies over nearly 4 decades in business. Some of them would go on to become multi-million dollar enterprises, others would threaten to send him back to square one.

He’s made almost every mistake in the book & came out the other end with a sales record of over $300mil. All without the help of big money, partners, or capital funding. What he learned on his journey may sound like common sense to some… but it’s often the small details that undo all our hard work when overlooked.

In a world where 95% of businesses fail…Rick now dedicates his time to empowering entrepreneurs just like yourself – so they can turn the odds in their favor.

Nothing great is ever achieved alone but together we can beat the odds!

If only I had known the stuff that Rick taught me BEFORE I started my Masters degree and wasted years of my life doing. Only to run my business and get hammered by customers that never paid up! I would have saved 5 years learning what I REALLY needed to know. No one I’ve ever met knows business like this bloke, he’s the real deal”

Didn't Find Your Answers?

Q: If the coaches are so great, then why is the program not more expensive?

A: Rick himself is a regular investor in promising early-stage startups. He loves the idea of being a part of the next BIG thing! That’s why he came up with the idea for offering unique & affordable group coaching that any serious business owner can afford. Not only does this give him exposure to loads of potential investment opportunities, but it allows everyone to get access to support when they need it.

Q: Why should I spend all this time learning about all these other business topics when I’m still trying to work out how to sell products and meet cash flow requirements?

A: Knowledge is power and knowing about each area of business will help you make the right decisions when building the foundation of your business.

Q: What’s the benefit of segments like the 'Hot Seat' session?

A: The Hot Seat segment revolves around one business in the group who volunteers to ask all the members for their feedback on a burning business question or suggestions on how to handle a certain challenge. Fresh ideas and group problem solving will re-invigorate your business as you start receiving suggestions from other businesses in the room as well as my personal experience from coaches.

Q: What’s the benefit of the accountability segment?

A: There has been a lot of research done in the area and the facts are clear that being kept accountable by heightens your urge to achieve your goals. Once you have made your goals and priorities public, you feel the positive peer-pressure and the urge to stand by your commitments. This alone can have the power to transform your behavior and results.

“Sometimes as a sole operator running my own small business, there’s a limit to how much knowledge and skill I have about business. So having someone coaching me helps me with accountability and knowledge. Rick and Tala have run, bought and sold businesses all their lives, they’ve been there and done that for many many years.”
