Testimonials

Creating a business plan with Rodney has helped us get the team on the same page, find areas in our business that need attention, and map out steps to fix them. Reviewing and creating a business plan each year is an effective way to re-focus the business and adapt to changes in the business landscape.
Tod Kelly
Dynamic Scaffolding Services Ltd
Our Business Planning session with Rodney helped us work on the business, instead of in the business. We fleshed out our purpose and refined goals, roles and responsibilities. It was the perfect opportunity to give clarity to everyone in the business.
Brett Smith
Sealer Solutions Ltd
Rodney was a fantastic trainer - very knowledgeable and helpful as he led us through the Business Planning session. We now better understand why we do business and our point of difference vs. other painting contractors. I have more confidence in the business going forward with the KPI's and action plan we’ve created.
Michelle Chitty
Spitfire Painting Limited
The Business Planning session with Rodney fostered open discussions about the direction of the business. Being together in one room, we were able to develop and align around a clear business purpose and mission.
Rachelle Tapara
TPF Limited
Business coaching with Robertson Bixley has challenged our thinking and pushed us. We’re now clear on where we're going, what we need to do to get there, potential hurdles and have a plan to mitigate them as best as possible.
Scott Lewis
Flax Street Mortgages
The Business Planning session is invaluable. It’s helped the directors gain clarity and a clear vision on how to move forward in a structured and clear way. We are a $12 million revenue business and will potentially be at $20 million in a couple years because we now have clarity on how to make changes to reach our operational and financial goals.
Mike
Accurate Infrastructure
Every single Business Planning session has been a major benefit to us.  The sessions allow us to work on the business and bounce ideas off each other.  Meeting with Rodney confirms what areas we are lacking in, how to address these issues so we can be more efficient and hold us accountable on the steps we need to take.  
Coromandel Homes
We have a whole new outlook on our business and the running of a business. The business planning session gave us the peace of mind that what we are doing is right, we just need to tweak a few areas and were given the tools to go about making those changes happen.
Dylan
Coat to Coat Painters
Time passes so quickly it’s easy to carry on in autopilot without making a purposeful plan. But getting involved with business planning sessions has meant we are now in a proactive space, have financial clarity, clear short-term goals which are moving us towards long-term planning.
Amber and Willy Jones

You just need to make time for business development. It is a priority if you want to move ahead with business planning and organisation. I have my notes above my desk and they have become easy reference tools. I look at them every morning to give me motivation and purpose for the day's work.
