Business transformation is not an event, it’s a habit…
You started your business with a big idea. One that was to serve others and make their lives better. And have a positive impact on the world.
Every day you smash it out of the park. Getting great results for your clients because you are great at what you do.
As a result, you’ve grown your business through those challenging early years. And you have a nice thing going. On the outside everything looks great.
But not all of the pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place. Behind the scenes it’s a different story.
Sometimes (or all of the time) you feel more like a firefighter. Rushing from one fire to the next. Not quite sure what you should be working on, or having the time, to grow your business. Or to just make everything simpler.
Cashflow always seem to be a challenge, even though your financials tell you that you’re ‘profitable’. Giving you sleepless nights worrying about money when all you want to focus on is your clients.
And then there’s the people challenges. You’ve built a team but you’re winging it. It’s harder than you feel like it should be to get everyone on board and working at their best. Even when there aren’t any obvious issues, you’re still spending a lot of time in the ‘doing’ and wish the team could do more to step up.
All these add up to a whole load of stress and pressure which isn’t what you got into business for. Taking you away from what you really want to be doing.
Now is the time to change all that and get your business in the shape of its life.

“As a small business owner who has started my business from the kitchen table, from scratch I felt quite daunted at the thought of expanding my team.
However, working with Lauren on developing and implementing my “People Plan” has made me feel excited about growing our team. I feel more confident that we can build a great culture with open, positive communication habits at the core.
I feel like I have a plan for the steps of recruitment and guidance about how to ensure I’m bringing in just the right people that fit with the essence of our business.
Thank you so much for all your help Lauren.”

“I came across The Healthy Business Lab through reading Profit First and was excited they offered an affordable consultation option for a new business.
Craig’s immediate interest in my business and investment in seeing it grow made coming on board a very easy decision.
I had no idea about cashflow or how to implement the Profit First principles in my business, so it was great having Craig guide me step by step through the process.
I’ve learnt to trust the tools The Healthy Business Lab provides, and how making small adjustments to when bills and receivables are paid can make a huge impact on cashflow. It’s given me the confidence to plan potential future dips in cashflow and how to circumvent them.
Working with Craig has given me the confidence to know that we can get ourselves out of financial tight spots in the future without having to seek additional funding. That’s a huge weight off my shoulders as a new business owner with limited options for capital.
Craig will give you a new perspective and a different way of tackling financial challenges. He will patiently walk you through the Profit First strategy and adapt it to suit your business.
Thanks again Craig for all your support and words of wisdom!”

“Lauren’s approach and commitment to assisting our business to grow effectively and sustainably is faultless!
The guidance and support Lauren provides has assisted us to develop ongoing systems to create a happy, healthy, fun and safe work environment for us and our team.”

“Having Lauren on our team to work through some challenging issues was a blessing. She gave us the techniques and delivery methods to present to our team.
Without her empathy, constructive thoughts, and understanding, I know the outcomes wouldn’t have been as good as they have been.
Lauren is considerate of your needs as a business owner but insightful to the needs of your team. Let us say she has a beautiful way with words that work.
I would highly recommend having Lauren on your team.”

“After reading the Profit First book, I knew coming on board with Craig would be the right decision for my business. Craig’s enthusiasm and well organised processes made the decision even easier.
I was excited about implementation, and It’s great to now have structure in place and see the results of the system. To actually enjoy having profit and changing my concept of spending money that was profit.
I’ve found that in working with Craig, the process and support have been invaluable. It’s a different concept to business and will make all future businesses profitable.”

Owner, Precision Physio
“I wanted to get the financial aspect of my business running really well. I had no idea about budgets or forecasting, or needing to aim for a particular level of income and wanted to get on top of my finances for the long term. I knew Profit First would help, but I needed help to implement it well.
In working with Craig, learning how to do the allocations and cashflow spreadsheets has been invaluable. I’ve taken time to learn the approach, and I love that I can get a quick picture of what things will look like financially in a few months so I can plan proactively.
Financially, I have already seen the benefits of working with Craig and have been able to treat myself with the extra cash in my pocket. Additionally, it’s been extremely helpful to be able to forecast cash and regularly use the spreadsheets to feel on top of finances.
Working with The Healthy Business Lab is well worth the investment and will empower you for the long term. It’s been great to have someone getting to know my business and giving excellent advice about different challenges.
I can’t thank you enough Craig. It’s been really fantastic! My accountant is always pleasantly surprised that when she says “super is due soon” I say “yes, I know, I’ve got the cash there waiting to pay and it’s in my spreadsheet when it is due”. It’s been awesome. I couldn’t have done as good a job implementing it myself.”

“After reading Profit First I knew I needed an implementer to help me as I saw it as a way to clear up the murky financial waters.
I have certainly seen great results in implementing and having Craig in my corner to assure me that things are on track and helping me design my business journey has been amazing. It’s the best business decision I’ve made in years.
If you want to fast track your Profit First progress and if you want to be led by an expert, don’t even think twice about engaging Craig. The investment will save you thousands in lost time and resources.”
