Why do you need me?
🚗You want to take control of your business and get back in the driver’s seat focussed on the side of the work you actually enjoy doing!🤔 You'd like to feel more like you know what the heck you're doing every day when it comes to the "boring" business side of things. To see what's really happening so you can improve your strategic thinking + the action you need to take to shift things for the better🧠 It would feel SO darned good being able to make faster, better decisions based on a blend of gut and logic and know you've done the best thing for you, your business, your team and your customers.📊 You want to level up your acumen and to learn long-term business performance skills so you've got something that's scaled and runs the boring side of business with ease - or that gives you the leverage to sell or franchise🤗 And, perhaps most of all, you'd like to feel validated. It is hard to do this on your own. Everything gets easier with shared perspective.

To think better. To make quicker, more accurate decisions. And that is going to shift things forward.Playing to your strengths, using your grit, you will be able to shape your business into something you’re bloody proud to own.

When you have space to imagine, you create dreams. When we gather and you learn to use tangible resources, those dreams become a reality.
My clients say things like:
“Alana simply GETS it”"I love that I can see everything, right here, one glance. All at my finger tips. I feel so in control of things!""This is such a helpful resource for us to be using every day"“I always feel like I get my bum into gear after we’ve been speaking”“You are such a wealth of knowledge and experience - thanks for untangling things so I can take control and be successful”“I’m back in control and feeling relieved I now know how to make this happen”"My gosh that makes it easier to get the team (and me!) focused on what counts"
For over two decades I've matched people with the outcomes they need. For over a decade of that, I led teams to deliver sales, customer & profit outcomes (at scale). Now, I coach, advise and support others to do that in their own businesses.The performance results speak for themselves. They also speak to the tenacity of the business owners who chose to work with me.🔧 Engineering firms moving from consistent negative profit on large projects to job / project profitability over 214%
💰 Increasing owner's salary by 50% (even with sales only lifting 18%)
🏦 Consistent salary banked for the business owner for the first time in 4 years of business ownership.
📈 Revenue increases of over 30%
🚽 A plumbing company able to expand the team without diminishing financial performance (or owner sanity!)

😎Profit increases over 3 years of 1700%
🏡 New lending possible for the forever home thanks to increasing owner salary to six figures & business profit being increased alongside that year on year.So when I say at least 15%, you let your imagination go wild on where YOU'LL aim to go! It's your dream, so let's make that a reality.Reckon you and I could work well together?
I know how to get navigate the inherently unpredictable nature of business without losing sight of the big picture.
I know what it is to have big stuff riding on YOU and the toll it takes if you don't have the skills to do that with a sense of control and capability (let alone trying to do that without capacity).I am also a relentless student in better understanding humans.That means don't approach data in the traditional way an analyst might.I approach it from the human way. The way where there's a whole bunch of messy to be navigated in anything worth doing.To see how I can find the one or two places to get started, and then how to match curious & clever humans with actions to get stuff happening.I'm a big fan of creating performance outcomes through working smarter, not harder. Less burn out, more impact.I'm committed to upskilling kiwi business owners to see them become performance literate.If we're all performing better, we're less stressed, our families feel that, we feel that, and then we're doing some magic stuff out here with our mahi.That's a damned fine business community to be part of.
