Do you want

  1. Someone to talk with who will quickly understand your business situation?
  2. To quickly learn what you need to know and what questions to ask?
  3. The right advice and answers quickly from someone you can trust?
  4. To cut through any crap and confusion?
  5. To find the right people to do what needs to be done?   and
  6. To focus on results?

If this is what you want, then great! We’re on the same wave-length and  that’s important.  

Chances are, you’re a business owner or a business manager.  I’m a business owner myself and have been for over 30 years. My interest (aka passion) over the past 15 years has been helping business people use the Internet more successfully to do better online business. 

These days, I work with a small number of business clients  to guide them through the various challenges. I also write a bit – and I find or develop highly targeted training programs for business people to quickly get on top of specific issues. 

To work smarter online, you will probably need to learn some new information and new perspectives.  Many people don’t know what they don’t know to do better business online. You don’t need to learn this stuff from IT geeks who speak a different language to you.  And you don’t need to learn from kids who’ve never been in business for themselves.

That’s where I come into it…  I can help you understand the future of your industry and re-plan the vision for the future of your business. That’s an important place to start – to see where you and your business fit in now and in the future.

Having run a web development and marketing business for 13 years,  I know lots of industry secrets that can help you get better results faster.  I know people who get good stuff done quickly and well.  I can help you better understand online marketing including smart social marketing strategies. And I have a vast selection of tools and services I can recommend for you to use. (Many of them are free!)

One thing though… I don’t build websites, and I no longer own a business building websites.  I know plenty of places you can go to get this done – and that’s part of the beauty of what I can offer you.  Independent advice to point you in the right direction that is best for you.  (Locally, off-shore, wherever…)

I’ll help you with the right tools for the right job – without confusing sales hype. And  I won’t overwhelm you or baffle you with BS.

So, if you are not sure who to trust for independent unbiased advice, then the good news is you’ve come to the right place…

I’ll Help You Get Better Results
If you want to improve how your business works online,  there is a lot to know. To be successful, you need a good basic knowledge of a wide range of topics, and putting it all together yourself in a sensible business plan with strategies and actions that make sense can be tricky. The choices can seem overwhelming – and it’s easy to get confused and go round in circles.

You Will Learn The Right Questions to Ask
Even if you want to get other people such as web development or online marketing specialists to do most of the grunt work, you still need to know what to ask for, how to manage them and how to measure their performance.  You need to know what questions to ask, and which answers are good, which answers may be acceptable, and which answers are possibly dangerous warning signs. And you need to know when someone is talking a lot of crap.  There’s a fair bit of it out there – which adds to the confusion.

I’ll Give You Independent & Unbiased Guidance and Advice
That’s where I may be able to help you.  I’m an online business trouble-shooter, and provide independent and unbiased advice and strategic guidance for better online business.

I can help you understand what you need to know, how to think through business strategies that will make sense, and how to make action plans that will work. I’ll also help you learn how to  get your staff and suppliers up to speed with what they need to know to implement your plans.

I can  help you learn what to ask for, and how to manage and measure for best results. And I’ll help you cut through the confusion and the crap.

Help You Choose Your Suppliers
You may be evaluating several different possible suppliers of web development or marketing services.  It can be very helpful and valuable to have an experienced independent  person review different proposals before you commit to going down a particular path you may regret.

Need More Assistance?
You may also need assistance in getting your work done.  Over the years, I have developed many contacts locally and around the world,  and if you need more input, I may be able to put you in touch with the right people  – or help you find and select them.  From time to time, I’m also asked to put together  Virtual SWAT  Teams of online business specialists who then bring their special skills and “Special Weapons and Tactics” to help solve specific challenges.  That’s not my core business, but it is a service that can be helpful.

Try My Confidential Advisory Service
So, whatever your online business situation, opportunity, challenge or problem, I may be able to help.  I’ll quickly let you know.  I provide confidential advisory services  and there is no charge or fee for an initial confidential phone chat.  Please feel free to give me a call on + 618 9467 1884 or fill in the form.

Entrepreneurs Quote

He casts aside his assurance of 40-hour weeks, leaves the safe covers of tenure and security… and charges across the perilous fields of change and opportunity.

If he succeeds, his profits will come not from what he takes from his fellow citizens, but from the value they freely place on the gift of his imagination.
