Why We’re The Ones For You …
Between Us We’ll Nail It
So, Am I The One For You?
Choosing a business “shadow” is a big step. Someone who will be there for you, behind the scenes, ensuring your success.
Your coach must be highly qualifed, yes, but you also must feel “in tune” with your coach. There must be a synergie, an environment of free-flowing thoughts, ideas, brainwaves and someone to help you with those dreaded “Duh” moments.
I get it …
The truth is this… I simply don’t know if I am the right one to help you take your business forward, but there is only one way to find out.
Unlock your free next move. It may be the best decision you’ve ever made.
Family is everything to me but getting the right balance between work and family life isn’t always easy. I missed so much of my daughter growing up while I was building my business – I regret that. I can’t get those years back.
I love physical and mental challenges! Here I did the Brighton Marathon with a 25kg backpack. (I’m the exhausted looking one trailing behind the man-mountain)
I started working for myself in 2004 in the highly competitive field of carpet cleaning / supply. Lots of competition. Many charging peanuts. I learned to market my business properly and add value to my services.
My Timeline
After I was asked “not to return” to school in the late 80’s I started work at Safeway supermarket. I wasn’t a bad lad, I just had no direction, no focus. In this superstore environment I learned one thing which would change my life forever … if you work for something you CAN achieve it.
I got promoted several times in just a few years but I still had a major itch to scratch …
When I joined the Submarine Service in 1992, I learned the true value of leadership. I watched extraordinary leaders inspire calm and purpose when the stakes were highest… and I saw the cracks that appeared when poor leadership took command.
Those experiences etched a lasting truth into me: leadership is never about command—it’s about connection, clarity, and trust.
In fact, I call my leadership method “The Abraham Method” after Paul Abraham, the most amazing and awe inspiring skipper I ever had the pleasure to go to sea with.
When I left the Navy in 2004 I was a bit “adrift” but, just like my Grandad, knew I always wanted to start my own business. So I did some research, discovered what was in demand and started a flooring business.
Here I learned marketing, selling, communications, developing faultless SYSTEMS which produced the right result, every time. Unfortunately I thought good numbers was all I needed. Good sales = good profits, right?
I was wrong. In 2009 I went bust. Now I have studied to the nth degree to ensure it doesn’t happen to you.
Since 1991, my other constant has been martial arts. Years of training and teaching have taught me discipline, patience, and adaptability, and that real mastery lies in the balance between strength and humility.
I love that moment when someone finally “gets it,” when the lesson lands and something sparks inside them. That same spark is what I chase every day in my coaching and consulting business.
I have 7 black belts and though I’m getting on a bit now I still live and breathe it.
It just makes me, me.
