businessbalance®

Creating working partnerships with a select few of you who share the passion for business ownership and who want to improve your businesses and grow to the next level.

I aim for you to see results within 12 months, and typically it can be much earlier. I want you to recoup your costs and generate more profit as soon as you possibly can.

Here are some of examples of my more recent working relationships that have all produced early results.

Graphic Design Studio

At 10 Months into the Business Improvement + Growth Program

We started working together on ad-hoc projects 2 years ago. Ten months ago, we embarked on a Business Improvement + Growth Program. Two new people have started. Sales have grown by more than 45%. At July 2006, the net profit growth was an 800% plus increase over last year!!! Extraordinary results for a 5 person team. The working Business Owner manages a 4-day-week (most weeks!) and looks forward to her weekends away with her partner.

Computing & Technology Specialists

At 3 Months into the Business Improvement + Growth Program

The Business Owners were keen to improve but needed to know where to start. We became more discerning about the customers and made a few operational tweaks on the sales side. Within three months of starting on their Business Improvement + Growth Program, they were channelling more cash flow into their business bank account than ever before.

Speciality Clothing Retailer

At 2 Months into the Business Improvement + Growth Program

This Business Owner has operated this business very successfully for 13 years. She reached a point where she needed to be reinvigorated. Working together for 6 weeks we recouped her costs for our help and started to generate additional income driving her daily sales upward (in the right direction)!  The future for this business is bright … .

small business improvement + growth program

A one-on-one working partnership, for business owners with a turnover greater than $1Million

You can choose to chart your own path to achieve your business dream when you work with me on what I affectionately call 'your Business Improvement + Growth Program'. Truth is, your experience will probably amount to far more than just business improvement & growth. For most of you there will be some divinely delivered and profound personal & lifestyle learning's too.

I tailor 'your Business Improvement + Growth Program' to you and your business. Since every one of you presents a unique set of business circumstances that warrant individual attention, I encourage you to follow your own distinct path - an improvement & growth plan tailored for you, with my expertise.

I like to work with you, the business owner, the real person. I want to connect with you one-on-one, establish a rapport, and meet regularly so you can lean on me for guidance.

And because I want to work with you one-on-one I don't push a software solution, or ask you to sign up for an online self-help business course, or require you to read the latest business books I have just written (I haven't written any by the way!).

I know my stuff instinctively due to 15+ years of on the ground experience and when I do provide you with a frame of reference it is my businessbalance® Framework. This is my knowledge framework and something I use when it suits you and your individual business circumstances.

I help you as business owner to come up with your own tailored business solutions - with my expert guidance of course! I have the commercial experience and resources to provide solid guidance and constructive feedback, and will focus you squarely on process solutions instead of problems; stretch you and your people so that you grow and learn, and help you put some smart thinking around your business ideas.

Your Business Improvement + Growth Program will offer you an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of your business's fundamentals, learn skills that you can apply in strategic and day-to-day management, and establish processes that enable your business to thrive. And most importantly - I believe - allow you to get-away for a day, take stress-free holidays and rebalance your life & work circumstances.

small business learning workshops

A targeted workshop, for business owners who want to expose their people to experiential learning

You may find a small business learning workshop is the practical solution you need in your workplace. I tailor 'your small business learning workshop' to your business needs.

These workshops develop specific business knowledge and skills, and draw from the full gamut of business topics; Vision, Mission & Values, Marketing, Sales, Customer, Operations/Manufacturing, Technology, People/Employees, Team, Risk/Insurance, Money, Profit, Tax, Legal, Governance, to Life & Work Balance.

The delivery of a business learning workshop for your people gives you...

  • The ability to very quickly boost your peoples' knowledge base - because I will take the time to make sure the business learning workshop is targeted correctly. Upon leaving your people will be ready and raring to take action in the workplace.
  • Customised, interactive, one-off experiential training sessions for your work group because more often than not you need targeted learning to raise the level of your workforce
  • A course developed utilising our businessbalance® Framework, a collective knowledge database, so you can benefit from Lisa's 15-plus years of commercial experience and business learning
  • Affordable half-day or full-day sessions because experience has proved I can deliver knowledge gain in these time allotments, and usually allocating any more time is disruptive in the workplace and becomes unaffordable for small to medium sized businesses
