Business overview
My business accelerator Beyond the Hourly Rate is a training program for coaches and consultants who are stuck in the time for money trap but;→ Want a strong identity and to be In Demand
→ Need a step by step roadmap
→ Are ready to accelerate their business growth
I know business from all sides. I’ve built and sold two service businesses and worked my way up in the agency world. With my support, my clients have collectively generated more than $100 million in revenue and I’m known for teaching clients how to 3x their revenue within a year.
The problems my clients face:
🧨 Brilliant at what they do, but the best kept secret in town
🧨Don’t know what to do in what order & feeling scattered
🧨 On a ticking time bomb to make it work, before having to go back to employment.
If you’re like the clients I work with, you’ve gone as far as you can with the knowledge you have. When you implement my methodology and you’re supported by top level coaches growth becomes inevitable.

Why I'm in the NZ Businesswomen
There’s nothing better than stepping away from the desk and having real, face-to-face conversations. I love connecting with other businesswomen, swapping ideas, sharing knowledge, and being honest about the highs and lows of business.I joined NZBW because I wanted more than just online chats, I wanted to be part of a community in person and build genuine connections.

My point of difference
My point of difference is that I don’t just help coaches and consultants chase quick wins. I teach them how to start and scale their business. I’ve built and sold businesses myself, as well as studied marketing and worked my way up in the agency world - so I’ve got first hand experience of all the different sides of business.My focus on coaches and consultants has led me to have a deep understanding of what works and what doesn’t. I sit in the middle of a community of professionals and get to see on a daily basis what’s exactly what’s working, what’s not and what we need to change.
