Things started to change – immediately! On my first one day session with Sean he ‘reshuffled’ my thought process, coaching me to take one step back from the start, then hold the line, hold the line, (whilst recruiting) until we were confident we had a candidate that would not only suit the role, but would...

I have just returned from a family holiday to FNQ and I feel great, it was the most relaxing break we have had since starting our business. Last year we went on the same vacation, just after we engaged Business By Design and my holiday rating was 3/10. I was anxious the whole time about...

Thank you Sean for a very productive year! Indeed! When I reached out I was primarily looking for advice regarding management of my agricultural assets and that advice was very valuable, but quite quickly you also helped me identify opportunities within my legal practice as well. After facilitating a staff development day with the team...

My Business is powering on like you wouldn’t believe.  Books are closed to new clients and I am making more profit than ever while still holidaying 20 weeks per year.  All thanks to you!!!

We recently had a directors retreat with Business By Design in Coffs Harbour . . . Wow! Sean showed us a very different perspective on our business, he didn’t hold back on asking the tough questions and he had us questioning why (a lot). It was the best investment we have made in our business....

I’d certainly recommend Business By Design to anyone in business that was considering using a coaching service or a service to improve their business, if they’re at a stage where they’re very operational or they want to grow their business. I certainly got the results from the engagement with Sean and Business By Design.

Sean has been instrumental in assisting the partners at RDM understand the difference between running a ‘practice’ and a ‘Business’. By holding us accountable and guiding steady improvements in core profit drivers like marketing, sales,  staff productivity  and internal systems  we have seen a significant turnaround in morale and profitability over the last 12 months. We understood and accepted...

JTMEC

We engaged the services of Business By Design to assist our business during a significant growth phase. JTMEC operates across most states in Australia and teams do significant travelling, which is a challenge when managing people. When we started coaching, I didn’t realise we had such a big communication problem. It was not long before...

We were having a lot of meetings and not getting a lot of output from them.  So, Sean was brought in to look at our meeting rhythm and to introduce a better way to have those meetings….  We still hold to that meetings structure.  It’s still a highly successful meeting structure  for us.  It hasn’t...

A willingness to work side by side with business owners is where those savvy enough to engage Sean and the team at Business By Design are gaining the value. I have had the opportunity to...

In our first meeting Sean showed me how we could immediately earn another $48,000 profit. Pretty handy return on three hours work! Two months later we took it further and added a further $58,000. Everyone needs  advice like this!!!
