Most mechanics get into business because they’re great on the tools. But no one really teaches you how to price properly, manage staff, keep track of your numbers, or plan for the future. That’s where we come in.
As a business coach for mechanics, we work alongside you to sort the business side of things, so you can focus on doing what you’re good at, without the chaos behind the scenes.
Here’s what that looks like:
Making sure your rates are right and you’re not undercharging
Helping you track jobs, time, and cash flow without the guesswork
Cleaning up your quoting and follow-ups so you don’t lose leads
Building a solid, reliable team that doesn’t depend on you 24/7
Creating a business that works with or without you there

We roll up our sleeves and get stuck in with you. This isn’t some hands-off course, it’s one-on-one support, tailored to your business.
We look at your costs, margins, and pricing, and make sure the numbers actually work.
Quoting, job tracking, customer updates, chasing payments, we’ll help you get this stuff sorted without spending all night in the office.
Staff not showing up? Apprentice needs a rocket? We’ll guide you through real-world team management that actually works in the trade world.
If your business only works when you do, that’s not a business. We’ll show you how to set things up so it can run without you always on the tools.
Want more jobs? Bigger jobs? A better lifestyle? Whatever your goal is, we help you build a path to get there, without burning out.

I offer 1:1 personalised business coaching specifically designed for tradies. My focus is on helping you improve profitability, streamline operations, manage cash flow, and build a more sustainable business. Whether you’re looking to increase your prices confidently, improve your team’s efficiency, or take control of your finances, my coaching programs are tailored to your unique goals and challenges.
It starts with a free initial consultation where we’ll dive into your goals, challenges, and what you want to achieve. This session helps me understand your needs and recommend the coaching approach that will deliver the most impact. Whether you’re focused on improving cash flow, scaling your business, or freeing up more of your time, I’ll guide you toward the right solution.
Each 1:1 coaching session is a focused, one-hour deep dive into your business. I’ll provide clear, actionable advice based on your progress and priorities. Together, we’ll set measurable goals and break them down into achievable steps. You’ll leave each session with a plan of action that addresses your biggest pain points and moves you closer to your business goals.
Progress in coaching is measured using both qualitative and quantitative methods depending on the nature of your objectives. We set clear, measurable goals at the beginning of the coaching relationship, and use regular check-ins, feedback sessions, and assessments to track your growth. Additionally, reflective practices and client feedback play a crucial role in evaluating progress and adjusting coaching strategies as needed.
Business coaching can cost anywhere between $1K and $5K per month, depending on several factors including business complexity and frequency of meetings. This includes one-on-one coaching, financial reviews, unlimited support, accountability, business growth tools, and more.
