Business Coach in Barangaroo

Barangaroo is home to a different kind of business owner than most of the areas Mark works in, boutique advisory firms, financial services practices, and corporate consultancies run by people who spent years in a big firm before deciding to build their own. They bring genuine expertise and a strong network. What they often don't bring across is a plan for building a business rather than a very well-paid solo practice.

The pattern Mark sees at this end of the market is a firm that's really the founder wearing a corporate wrapper, revenue is strong, the brand is credible, but almost everything still runs through one person's time and relationships. Scaling means either working more hours, which has a ceiling, or bringing in and trusting other people to deliver at the same standard, which many former corporate operators find harder than it sounds. There's also often no real plan for what the business looks like, or is worth, if the founder steps back.

Mark's work with Barangaroo-based firms focuses on building genuine delegation and delivery capability beyond the founder, pricing and positioning that reflects premium expertise rather than corporate rate cards, and a structure that makes the business valuable, and saleable, independent of any one person. For owners who've built real credibility but are still the business rather than running it, the work is building something that outlasts their own hours.
