– Tobin Page, COO, Publift
Hi, I’m Mark.
Hi, I’m Mark. Since 2007, I’ve been privileged to guide small-to-medium-sized Australian business owners on a journey of personal and professional fulfilment. Through thoughtful business coaching, I help individuals rediscover their passion, overcome challenges, and find greater balance in their work and life. The satisfaction of building a business that truly works for you—bringing not just profit but personal freedom and purpose—is within your reach. Together, we can unlock new possibilities, helping you create a business that not only grows but enhances your overall sense of accomplishment and well-being.
You’ve worked hard to establish your business and are ready to scale and grow, but not sure where to start.
You feel the weight of risk that comes with business ownership, uncertain of how to safeguard what you’ve built while continuing to grow.
You feel burnt out while attempting to do it all and need support.
Your business is profitable and making money, but you’ve become complacent and lack motivation.
You are making solid business profits, and now it’s time to take a step back and enjoy a great lifestyle.
You’re thinking about the future—whether it’s selling the business, passing it on to a family member, or ensuring it contributes to your retirement, you want to secure your legacy and financial peace of mind.
Building and maintaining a competent team is crucial to your success, but motivating them to do more than the bare minimum is a unique challenge. As the founder, your team members do not always share your deep passion for the business, making it harder to achieve the same level of commitment. This is one of the most demanding aspects of running a business. Mark will help you navigate these challenges and empower your team to contribute more meaningfully so you can drive the business forward with their full support.
Accountability is about cutting through the noise and finding purposeful direction amidst the overwhelming demands of running a business. Like a bee trapped in a bottle, it’s easy to buzz around, busy but not moving forward. Mark will keep you in check by holding you accountable, allowing you to focus on the actions that will genuinely impact your goals, and helping you stay on the path that leads to meaningful results. Together, we’ll avoid distractions and hone in on what matters most—because when you step up, your team steps up.
Mark’s role is to help you cut through the clutter and identify the financial levers that will have the most significant impact, aligning them with your goals. Every business has areas where money is slipping through the cracks, often unnoticed. By targeting and fixing these inefficiencies, we can unlock new levels of productivity and profitability, ensuring that your resources are used where they matter most.
Complete clarity around where you are taking the business in 12 months and beyond. 90 Day plans keep us on track to do what we need to do to get the job done.
What is the point of wasting valuable leads because there is no coherent system around lead follow up, qualifying the lead, quoting the lead and closing the lead? Let’s make sure this runs like clockwork and closely monitor our conversion rates so we can improve for even better results.
Spending the right time on the right things ensures you get the best results faster. This is often a juggling act. We will get on top of where you need to spend your time putting you firmly in control of creating better outcomes with less effort.
Once our initial phone chat and first discovery session (no charge) are complete, we’ll both have a genuine sense of connection and clarity about whether we’re the right fit to work together to elevate your business. If we feel that partnership and alignment, we’ll move forward by scheduling your recurring coaching sessions. From there, it’s not just a business relationship—it’s a shared journey. Together, we’ll Reflect, Grow, and Reach, ensuring that every step forward is not only aligned with your vision but is also deeply meaningful for both of us.
Our first session will be much more than just an analysis of where you’re at. It’s an opportunity for you to pause and reflect on the journey that has brought you here to a place where you see the value in working with me. Through our conversations, I’ll ask questions that allow you to truly listen to yourself, giving you the space to uncover insights that might have been hidden in the rush of day-to-day business. This reflection is powerful—it can be the catalyst for breakthroughs, revealing what has and hasn’t worked in your business.
The questions may include the following as an example:
Why did you start the business?
This question goes straight to the heart of your business journey, helping you reconnect with your original purpose and passion, which can unlock insights about where you truly want to go.
Too often, business owners get caught up in a cycle of repeating the same patterns without stopping to understand why. Together, we’ll not only look for the solutions that make the biggest impact but also build the kind of trust that comes from knowing I’ve truly heard you. From there, we walk this path together, side by side, and begin identifying quick wins that align with the deeper changes you seek.
That is the work and the focus in front of us. The future needs to enrol and inspire you. It’s the vision; it’s your future.
Mindset as the Catalyst
Unlocking Knowledge and Guiding Action
Mindset is often the unseen force that controls the flow of knowledge and the effectiveness of action. It’s the lens through which we perceive opportunities, challenges, and possibilities. Without the right mindset, even vast reserves of knowledge remain untapped, and meaningful action is difficult to sustain. Mindset is the catalyser, the driving force that enables individuals to access their knowledge and apply it purposefully through action.
Applying this to Business Coaching and Mentoring
As your business coach & mentor, Mark helps you explore your mindset before diving into your knowledge or pushing for action. You may have a wealth of experience and knowledge, but if your mindset is misaligned—be it through burnout, doubt, or lack of clarity—you won’t be able to tap into that knowledge to its full potential. Similarly, the actions you take may feel forced, ineffective, or disconnected from your true goals.
By asking the right questions
Such as why you started your business, whether you feel you’re truly in control, and whether the business rewards you for your efforts—we begin with mindset alignment. This sets the stage for accessing the deeper knowledge you already possess and channelling that knowledge into the kinds of actions that will have the biggest impact on your goals.
Mindset is the starting point
The foundation from which everything else flows. Once we align your mindset with your vision, knowledge becomes more accessible, and purposeful action follows naturally.
Overcoming self-limiting beliefs
While your knowledge and intuition are invaluable, it’s easy to fall into a pattern of thinking that closes you off to new possibilities. Our work together will help you access fresh perspectives and apply your ideas in new, innovative ways that expand the boundaries of what you believe is possible.
Bringing your customer insights to the surface
You know your customers better than anyone. We’ll work to unlock and refine the insights you’ve gained over time to better serve their needs and enhance your offerings.
Harnessing your understanding of industry dynamics
You’re more in tune with your industry than you may realise. Together, we’ll explore how your understanding of market trends and competition can shape the future of your business.
Continuing to expand your knowledge
The most successful business owners never stop learning. Whether it’s diving into a new book, tuning into insightful podcasts, or exploring fresh ideas through audiobooks, we’ll explore ways to keep your growth mindset active and bring new knowledge into your business strategy.
Create a clear action plan
Developing a step-by-step roadmap is essential for your business growth, breaking down larger goals into smaller, achievable tasks. Like a golfer improving their score after a lesson, this initial plan will lead to immediate gains, but true success comes in refining and sustaining those changes over time.
Get things done
The key to growth is moving beyond planning and acting on your strategies. However, as with any improvement, progress may plateau. Mark’s ongoing guidance will help you break through the plateaus and navigate the peaks and valleys of change.
Consistency
Regular, decisive actions move your business forward, but consistency is what transforms short-term gains into long-term success. We will work together to ensure you maintain momentum even when challenges arise.
Measure progress and adapt
Just as golfers need to adjust their swing after each game, tracking progress allows us to fine-tune our approach. With the right systems in place, we can evaluate what’s working and adapt our strategies as needed.
Execution over perfection
Don’t wait for the perfect moment—action is the catalyst for growth. While immediate improvement is rewarding, sustained success requires ongoing refinement. We will continually adjust your approach as you advance, helping you reach new levels of achievement.
By following these principles, we will unlock sustainable and scalable growth, enabling you to achieve your business goals and become a more effective leader. Growth isn’t just a phase—it’s an ongoing commitment to being the best version of your business and yourself.
We’ve now reached a pivotal point in our journey, where we focus on the goals and targets established during our ‘Reflect’ and ‘Grow’ phases. Whether these goals are long-term, mid-term, or short-term, reaching them is just one step along the way. This journey is not just about ticking off accomplishments but about continuous progress. When we reach those milestones, we’ll celebrate the victories, take stock of where we stand, and begin again, evolving and expanding (Reflect, Grow, Reach).
From there, the journey continues as we dive into fresh ideas, explore innovative strategies, and unlock untapped opportunities. Mark will be walking this path with you, offering ongoing feedback, insights, and the support you need to not only meet but exceed your targets.
Together with Mark, you’ll strengthen your connection with your customers, team, and your deeper purpose. It’s about creating a lasting legacy—one that reflects not just the success of your business but its meaningful impact on those who matter most. This is a journey of growth, exploration, and ongoing inspiration. Together with Mark, you will build a business that continually thrives, inspires, and evolves.
“Mark has given me greater clarity, focus, and a drive to get an actionable and fluid plan in place to assist me to drive ongoing revenue for the long term future success of the business. He’s given me a range of tools to focus on to measure the success of my business, and to help me work on what matters most in a timely fashion… We’ve streamlined our processes so rapidly with Mark’s advice, we are now on our way to greater revenue growth and a great turnaround in 2023 and beyond.”
“As the Director of BTS Energy I have been doing coaching with Mark for over 4 years… I commented about how much coaching cost but with that I had to remind myself that’s it’s never been an expense. Without Mark’s input I would have never spent the money to employ a keyman and this one of many suggestions has simply put, improved my business and life style hands down.
I can recommend him to any business looking to improve their current operational processes and staffing.”
While “coaching” and “mentoring” are often interchangeable terms in business, the combination of the two can be genuinely transformative. Over nearly two decades of experience, Mark has crafted an approach that seamlessly integrates coaching and mentoring to bring out the best in you and your business. This synergy makes Mark’s method distinct and drives sustainable, impactful results.
With Mark’s integrated approach, you’ll experience the depth of mentoring and the clarity of coaching, working in the right balance and guiding you to help you realise your full potential.
Success in business requires more than hard work—it demands the right strategies, accountability, and a business coach who challenges you to grow.
As your business coach, Mark will help you clarify your goals, implement proven strategies, and push past any obstacles holding you back. He’ll see your blind spots, hold you accountable for getting the results you are looking for, and challenge you—just like a sports coach—to step up, have a plan, take the required action, and achieve results faster than you ever thought possible.
But coaching isn’t just about business tactics; it’s about developing the mindset, confidence, and leadership skills needed to sustain success. Mark acts as your sounding board, giving you direct, honest feedback to help you grow, make better decisions, and unlock your full potential.
If you’re ready to think bigger, execute confidently, and drive real results, coaching with Mark will give you the structure, momentum, and insights to take your business to the next level.
Business success isn’t just about strategy—it’s about having the proper perspective, guidance, and support along the way. With over 35 years of business experience and mentoring since 2007, Mark helps business owners refine their vision, make confident decisions, and navigate challenges with clarity.
Business mentoring is about drawing from experience, offering wisdom, and helping you develop the strategic insight needed for long-term success. It’s a powerful way to gain perspective, avoid costly mistakes, and build a business that aligns with your long-term goals.
Mark works with small and medium-sized business owners who want more than quick fixes—they want trusted guidance to help them think strategically, overcome roadblocks, and create sustainable success.
If you’re looking for a business mentor who can share real-world insights, help you gain clarity, and support your journey to long-term business success, mentoring with Mark could well be the right fit for you.
Through the skilful mix of business mentoring and coaching, you’ll gain the skills, confidence, and momentum to create a thriving, profitable business that works for you.
