HEY THERE, I’M STEVE!
When no one is looking I like to build Star Wars Lego…shh, don’t tell anyone. When I am not doing that, I am building companies and business consulting for my clients… and when I’m not doing that you will find me doing anything fast. Driving cars, racing motorbikes, skydiving, flying planes and riding rollercoasters! I love a good rush!
I have a very successful track record of growing companies across numerous sectors. Over the past decade, I have grown 3 different companies (in different industries) to revenues in excess of $7 million per year. Some within just 2 years! My latest business has already been shortlisted as a finalist in the Australian Telstra Business Awards
My business consulting expertise include success psychology, business planning, operations management, sales and marketing strategy and technology automation. Industries I have provided business consulting to include fitness, hospitality, wellness, yoga, technology, engineering, facilities management, commercial cleaning, financial services and marketing agencies.
IT WASN’T ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS..
You might think looking from the outside in, that it has been super easy for me, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!
As a kid, I was always a little sales person and entrepreneur. By 20 years old, I had my own DJ company which serviced about 500 weddings per year. Not a bad little money maker @ $500 per job! After I sold that, I grew a website-based network marketing business with over 11,000 affiliates in over 9 countries. Unfortunately, the technology became obsolete and the head network marketing business failed. Bye bye small business!
After that it was time to take on the corporate world. I got jobs with some of the biggest companies in the world, in sales and marketing. From there, I moved onto running divisions of Australia’s largest recruitment company… and then the GFC hit and I was made redundant in the downturn.
This tragedy ended up being a blessing. The money I got set me up in a family run business. This business had amazing growth and at its peak had turnover in excess of $8 million dollars per year. Business was good but here comes life’s little curve ball… (get your tissues ready).
My wife and I split and as much as we tried to work together it just didn’t work. Too much water under the bridge, I guess. The next part of my story is deemed confidential by a supreme court settlement deed, so let’s just say some serious shit went down and I basically lost my entire company overnight. So here I was, age 40 with no company, no income, downsizing an overly excessive lifestyle for an income of zero and pretty battered from a very painful legal battle. I was seriously depressed for months and even fled from Australia to do some soul searching. I just didn’t think I had it in me to start again from scratch at 40!
But once again there was a blessing in the tragedy. If I could get it back, if I could succeed again, if I could overcome the odds, then I knew that I had a formula that I could teach to other people. I would know it wasn’t a fluke, it was replicable! So I know you are hanging on the edge of your seats.. what happened Steve? What happened?
There is an old saying. “You can take a rich person and take away all their money and they will have it back in 3 years. You can take a poor person and give them all the money and they will lose it in 3 years.” I have now lived this saying and I know exactly what the steps are from a psychology, structural and strategic perspective to succeed.
Within 24 months I had built 3 new companies whose combined group revenues exceeded my last companies. In other words, in 24 months I was able to achieve what had taken me 6 years before. At the same time, I had also developed my consulting process so that I could help anyone, at any stage of their business journey improve.
I have helped people who only have an idea and don’t know where to start, people who are just starting and need the formula, people who have an established small business but need the next step and even people with multimillion-dollar businesses!
Bottom line is, I have a formula and that formula makes businesses perform better and make more money, but more than that, it gives people freedom. Freedom to live the life you want to live on your terms! If you want some of that then you are in the right place.
