Work With Mark

Ready to Build a Better Business?

Here's who Mark works with, how the process works, and what to expect — from your first conversation through to real, measurable results.

Is This You?

Who Mark Works With

Mark works with owner-operated businesses across Australia — typically with 2 to 50 staff, at any stage of growth. The common thread isn't industry or size. It's a business owner who knows they can do better and wants someone experienced in their corner.

You've hit a growth ceiling

Revenue has plateaued. You're working harder but not seeing better results. You know the business has more potential — you just can't see what's holding it back from inside it.

You're the bottleneck

Everything runs through you. Decisions, approvals, client relationships — none of it happens without you. You want a business that can operate without you being everywhere at once.

You're scaling but losing control

Growth is happening but the cracks are showing — in your team, your cash flow, your systems. You need someone who's done this before to help you scale without losing the plot.

You're making it up as you go

The business is profitable but the decision-making is reactive. No real plan. No sounding board. You want a trusted outside voice with actual runs on the board.

The Process

How It Works

Every engagement starts the same way — a free conversation to see if it's the right fit. From there, the process is structured but not rigid. It adapts to where your business actually is.

Step 1

Free Clarity Call

A 30-minute conversation to understand your business, your goals, and where you're stuck. No pitch. Mark will tell you honestly if he can help — and if so, how.

Step 2

Strategy Session

A deeper session where Mark maps your business against the eight foundations. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's working, what isn't, and where to focus first.

Step 3

Ongoing Sessions

Regular 1:1 sessions built around your business priorities. Structured enough to keep you accountable, flexible enough to respond to what's actually happening.

Step 4

Measurable Results

Every engagement is tracked against goals set in the strategy session. You'll know what's improved, what's next, and exactly what your investment is returning.

Experience That's Been Tested

Why Business Owners Choose Mark

Mark has been coaching and mentoring business owners across Australia since 2007. In that time he has worked with owners across 44 industries — from trades and professional services to retail, manufacturing, and healthcare.

Before coaching, Mark personally bought, built, and exited multiple businesses. That experience shapes every conversation — he knows what good decisions look like because he has made them, and the costly ones too.

He works with a deliberately small number of clients at a time. That means the relationship is substantive. He knows your business, your team, your numbers — not just a summary of them.

Common Questions

Before You Reach Out

How long does a coaching or mentoring engagement run?

There's no fixed term. Most clients start with a 3–6 month commitment, which is enough time to see real movement on your key priorities. Many continue beyond that. Mark works with a small number of clients at a time so the relationship is always substantive, not transactional.

Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?

Yes. Mark works with business owners across Australia. Sessions are held via video call when in-person isn't practical. Many long-term clients are interstate.

What does the first session actually look like?

The first proper session is a strategy session — not a coaching session. Mark maps your business against the eight foundations, asks the questions you've been too busy to ask yourself, and identifies the two or three things most worth fixing first.

Is this coaching or consulting?

Both, depending on what you need. Mark won't just ask questions and hand the answers back to you — he'll tell you what he thinks and why, based on 35+ years running and advising real businesses. You still make the decisions. He just makes sure they're better ones.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Primarily owner-operated businesses with 2–50 staff across any industry. Mark has worked across 44 industries. The challenges that slow businesses down — cash flow, team accountability, growth ceilings, owner dependence — are consistent regardless of sector.

How do I know if it's working?

Goals are set in the strategy session and reviewed every quarter. You'll know what you were trying to achieve, whether you achieved it, and what the next milestone is. Mark's coaching pays for itself — that's the standard he holds himself to.
