Growth consulting
Growth consulting for small businesses that feel stuck
You know something isn’t working. You just can’t tell what.
It’s rarely one big problem. It’s the booking page no one’s updated, the ad account no one’s had time to check, and the mundane stuff eating the hours meant for everything else. Most businesses don’t fail to grow. They get tangled in their own weeds.
I run businesses too, including a florist business, so I look at the whole thing with you: the offer, the marketing, the operations and the numbers. Then we work out what’s really going on and fix it in the right order. Growth stalls in operations as often as in marketing.
Weed, prune, cultivate. That’s the work.
Weed (diagnose)
Who you’re actually for, how customers find you, trust you, buy and come back, and where it leaks. Every finding is tied to evidence, not a hunch.
Prune (prioritise)
Not everything gets fixed. Investment goes where things are weak and the opportunity is big, with a plain reason for each call.
Cultivate (build)
I build the systems, automate the repetitive parts with AI, and put the systems behind them so growth keeps compounding without me in the middle of it.
What this isn’t
An agency
There are no account managers. You work with me, start to finish.
A long-tail dependency retainer
I don’t do work you can’t take over.
A deck that gets forgotten
Not something that’s handed over and then left.
Who it suits
Owners who know something isn’t working, have tried a few different things, and are too busy running the business to work out what. Usually founder-led, relationship-driven businesses where everything still runs through you.
Working remotely, wherever you are
I work async-first with clients in different time zones, and live calls are booked at a time that suits you.
How working together runs.
Take what you need and stop whenever it’s enough.
First, a free 30-minute call.
We talk through what’s going on and work out whether I can help. If I can’t, I’ll tell you.
- Most people start here
Growth Diagnostic
I look at the whole business, tell you plainly what’s really going on, and what I’d fix first. You can stop there and run with the plan yourself.
- A one-off build
Project
I build it with you, show you how it runs, and leave you capable.
- Ongoing
Growth Partner
Your growth and systems lead, month to month, with a handful of clients. I own the plan and keep the systems running.
Questions people ask
- What does a business growth consultant actually do?
- Works out why growth has slowed and what to fix first, then helps you fix it. For me that means looking at the whole business, not just marketing: the offer, how customers find and trust you, operations, and the numbers.
- How is this different from hiring a marketing agency?
- An agency runs channels for you, usually on an ongoing retainer. I diagnose the whole business, fix what matters most, and leave you able to run it yourself. No account managers, and no work you can’t take over.
- Do you work with businesses outside Australia?
- Yes. I work remotely with small business owners worldwide, async-first, with live calls scheduled to suit your time zone.
- Where do I start?
- Most people start with a free 30-minute call, then a Growth Diagnostic. You can stop after the Diagnostic and run with the plan yourself.
- How many clients do you take on?
- Not many. I stay on month to month with a handful of clients, so there’s room to do the work properly.
