Find out how growing your financial insights and guidance can help your business.
Imagine getting behind the wheel of your car with no working gauges on the dashboard. Sure, the engine might purr as you start, and things may feel fine initially. But before long, you’d realise you have no idea how much fuel is left, how fast you’re going or if the engine’s running hot. You’d just be guessing and hoping everything will be okay.
This is the analogy Mark uses with his clients when working alongside them as their small business financial coach and discussing their financial dashboards. Running a business without the proper financial metrics is like driving blind, relying solely on luck. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Together, we can ensure you’re in control, making informed decisions, and driving your business rather than your business driving you!

You rely on your bank balance to gauge your business’s health. While it shows the outcome, it’s often too late to make impactful changes if the numbers aren’t where they should be. By the time you’re checking, the opportunity to course-correct may have passed.
You equate business growth with higher turnover. However, true success lies in understanding the key financial levers: revenue, gross profit, and fixed costs. Driving revenue alone can look impressive, but it may expose deeper inefficiencies and leave you working harder with little to show for it. The real potential to increase change comes from focusing on what moves the needle for gross profit—efficiency, cost management, and smarter decisions.
You’re financially savvy, but your attention is elsewhere. Despite knowing what needs to be done, you’re too busy putting out fires in other parts of the business to dedicate the time and focus needed for financial strategy.
You recognise the need for significant improvements but feel stuck with seemingly immovable fixed costs and need a clear path to creating positive change.
If any of these resonate, it’s time to consider a financial business mentor who can help you regain control and clarity and grow your business by design rather than by chance!
Think about how you handle an almost empty tube of toothpaste. When it’s full, you use it generously without much thought. But when it’s nearly gone, and you keep forgetting to get that new tube, you treat every last bit like it’s precious, squeezing out more than you ever thought possible. Night after night, you find clever ways to extract toothpaste you didn’t even realise was still there.
This is precisely how fixed costs work in your business. When you’re not focused on profitability, it’s easy to overspend. But when you start prioritising the profit you want to achieve, you naturally begin scrutinising those fixed costs, figuring out how to “squeeze” more value from your existing resources.
Mark will help you apply this mindset to your business through business financial coaching. He will help uncover areas where you’re overspending and identify opportunities to optimise costs. With a simple but effective financial dashboard, you’ll gain clear, actionable insights that empower you to take control, maximise profitability, and drive growth—without necessarily acquiring more expensive resources.
This concept is inspired by Mike Michalowicz’s book Profit First, which highlights the importance of prioritising profit and scrutinising costs to maximise business efficiency.
