Here's How We Did It:

Corie owns a service business, and for the last 10 years, he has been stuck at $1 million a year. 

​

He knew that he needed to break through $1 million, and tried everything he knew how to do, but no matter what he did, he was spending the $1 million that he was bringing in, making him break even, without profit.

​

For years, he knew that he was overworking and underpaying himself, and felt frustrated that he was achieving less than his potential. 

​

He knew that he could do better, the market opportunities were out there, but he couldn’t find how to capitalise on them.

​

On the personal front, he was suffering. He wasn’t getting any personal time to spend with his two young children, as he didn’t give himself the time to have a life outside of his business. 

Corie’s life was work, work, work, with no end in sight. Work took all priority.

​

Corie even had purchased a nice boat with the intention of spending time with his family on it. It never made it to the water and it sat in his front yard never used.

​

That's when we introduced Corie to the Freedon System™ - a proven, structured approach for growing a company while working substantially less hours.

​

This is how it worked for Corie.

Phase 1: Make

Assessing Corie’s situation, we showed him how to make a leveraged profit, which required leverage through good quality people and quality systems.

We worked with him to build a marketing system that would provide a steady stream of quality leads, followed by a sales system that would CONVERT the leads to sales.

​

Through these systems, his team found themselves in a positive cycle as these systems provided them sufficient work with constant and consistent incoming business.

​

Building these systems required Corie to understand that he had to make a significant shift in his own mindset and skill sets to make this leveraged profit.

Phase #2: Manage

In Phase 1, we got Corie into a position where his business was making more money, but this wasn’t enough. 

​

Now it was time to manage that money so that he could build the true leverage in the business. I reiterated to Corie that you don’t need more money to make money, but you do need to learn how to manage and control it to turn your money into true profit.

​

Something I’ve observed in a lot of businesspeople is thinking that if only they made more money, all their problems will be solved. 

​

Essentially, they fail to change their mindset that the way they’re managing their money needs to change, and while they make more money, their problems aren’t solved, just amplified. 

​

We showed Corie the best way to manage his money, because even though he was making $1 million, he was also spending $1 million.

​

 He was breaking even and never getting ahead, even though by all accounts his business had what it took to be profitable.

​

We also showed Corie how to manage the productivity in his team, get his financial reports under control, and manage his cash flow effectively so that he could maximize the Return on Investment of what he was putting into his business. 

​

We then showed him how to use some of that money more effectively. 

​

These became the critical structures, systems, and people required to leverage his business and create more profit.

Phase #3: Keep

Once Corie put these necessary structures in place that would help him unlock growth and profits, he quickly grew to make $4 million. A big difference from where he started!

​

Corie’s whole life changed. 

​

He reduced his work week from 80-100 hours per week to only 30 hours. 

​

He had 50+ more hours a week for his family, and for himself. 

​

That boat of his finally made it into the water and he enjoys regular fishing trips with his family and friends.

​

Corie was out of the woods so to speak with his new-found profitability, but he had to learn how to maintain what he had achieved so to not squander it. 

​

Corie had put in the necessary hard work to build profit, so he wasn’t going to stop there and just let it all crumble only to have to build it all up again. 

We wanted to see him get out of the vicious cycle that we see too many businessmen fall victim to.

​

In order to maintain what he had achieved, he had to recognise his own responsibility for his own success while acknowledging that his team were critical to his financial success and supporting him in his business endeavours. 

​

He still needed to be the driver of his business.

​

He embraced his individual responsibility as well as the role of his team by working to build trust and openness with his team that included his accountant, financial planner, bookkeeper, commercial solicitor, bank manager, and mentor just to name a few.

​

Team members that are likely not much different than yours.

​

Through this trust, he became transparent with his team members, and they became more invested in his growth, recognising that his success meant their success as well. 

Phase #4 – Grow

By this phase, Corie had built a profitable business that gave him more time with his family, more money in his pocket, and allowed his team to benefit from his business growth. 

​

Now came the fun part where Corie could scale his business for even greater freedom and play a larger game in terms of where he took his business.

​

What is your goal for your business? 

​

It may be to expand, franchise, extract profits to build a property, increase your portfolio of shares, get into new shares of the market, or just continue to grow what you have as your vehicle to more time and more freedom.

​

With Corie, we helped him grow a second sister business that started to make a great profit. 

​

When we caught up with him a few months ago, he told us that he is already on track to do $6 million this financial year, and has goals to grow to $8-10 million in the next two years. 

​

With this level of profit, he is gearing up to hire a General Manager, who will allow him to let go of some of the reigns of day-to-day management.

​

It was important for Corie to recognise that the Grow phase was only made possible once he carefully and intentionally went through all phases. 

​

Through the hard work he did, he got to the point where he was able to play the bigger game which Phases 1 through 3 became the building blocks for. 

At this point, scaling and growing his business became enjoyable and not a burden that became a time, energy and life sucker.

Your FREE 'Freedom Action Plan'

Every week business owners tell me how how they're stuck 

in their businesses and they aren't sure what to do next.

I hear the same stories over and over again - people like Corie who's businesses have plateaued and they're stuck working 60, 80, even 100 hour weeks just to keep things ticking over... 

​

That why I'm now offering FREE, no obligation "Freedom Action Plans" over the phone to qualified Australian businesses to show them how they can implement the Freedom System in their business too.

​

I've developed these rapid-fire, one-on-one sessions to quickly uncover:

• How to get your cashflow under control and always have money in the bank
• How to get the right structures in place NOW so you can scale up to $3 million, $5 million+ without the usual growing pains or working any harder.
• The types of systems you need to slash your working hours back to 30-40 hours per week (so you have considerably more time to spend with family - remember Corie got 50+ hours per week back with his young family)
• Avoid the traps most business owners fall into when growing their companies (save yourself the headache and learn these now!)
• How you can get out of the vicious day-to-day cycle of managing your business
• How to transform your business into a leveraged, high-profit vehicle that generates wealth, freedom and time for you and your family.
• How to not only CREATE wealth but actually KEEP it too.

This is NOT for everybody. Here’s who I CAN help:

As these sessions take time, I'm quite picky about who we'll speak with so I’ve got a strict (but reasonable) set of criteria you must meet in order for us to proceed.

• Your business is turning over $1 million at a bare minimum
• You're in the trades / construction / manufacturing / services industry
• You must be open to new ideas and trying something different (especially if what you’re currently doing isn’t working)

If you meet the criteria above and would like to chat about getting you incredible results, then I’ll happily set aside some time for you.

This session is of course free with no obligation.
