I started out building because I was good at what I did, but managing a business was a different challenge altogether. We struggled to turn a profit and lacked direction. Working with The Successful Builder changed everything. We gained clarity and strategy, and our turnover has more than doubled since. It's been a transformation from uncertainty to thriving confidence.

Dependent on our constant presence, we were trapped in mundane routines, lacking motivation and unable to take time off. Seeking guidance, we turned to The Successful Builder, who transformed our business with strategic analysis and process implementation. Now, our team runs day-to-day operations, allowing us to enjoy simultaneous holidays and rediscover our passion for the business. Graeme's support has led to unexpected growth and personal development, reshaping our roles and perspectives.

"I was considering closing my business but I approached The Successful Builder about business coaching and decided to give it a try. We created systems to improve site performance and estimate better. We also built a whole sales approach that would position our company as the preferred builder for our target market. Now, we have four employees and more than 12 months of great jobs booked."

“Each year revenue has grown by 25-40%.

I have recommended Graeme to many business owners and those who have worked with him have experienced growth at least as strong as our business. Graeme's particular strengths are strategy in marketing and operations and any area where critical decisions and good insight is needed.”

"Wow!! …for the last 6 months our average monthly profit has grown over 200%. In fact after 2 months of this financial year we are up 400% over last year!!! I have become better organised, more systematic, and much more focused on the key elements that make a positive change to our business."

Lance Walker

Managing Director, Lamps Exclusively 

The work kept trickling in but my business was not growing, despite working long hours. Enlisting a business coach really turned things around. My business has grown and I am now off the tools. We are a team of 7 and I now focus on working with clients, running team leaders and growing the business. We are finally making a steady income and our personal goals are starting to become a reality.”

“I was ready to throw the business in and go back to working for someone else … I have learned how to sell professionally and confidently with integrity. The sales process, scripts and collateral that we developed work, and I go into sales meetings with a clear plan and purpose, feeling totally confident in the outcome.”

“When we first started with The Builders Business Coach our major threat was lack of work. We had never experienced such a down-turn in the market. Within three months our average sale had increased by 44%, productivity by 6% and profits by 19%.”

“I was in debt, working long hours and spending very little time together with my wife. … Now less than six months into the program revenue has increased to almost $1.5m (annualised), I have enough work to employ four builders, and I am almost fully off the tools”

“…Just 13 months later, the business has grown to one and a half million and I am off the tools. Recently I took my family on holiday for 10 days - and the business continued to run without me - smoothly!”

“… I am now starting to understand what it feels like to have a business that will work for me while I take time away to spend with the family.”
