Greg Chapman, Small Business Advisor

“Building a successful business is more complex than ever in the 21st Century. The Five Pillars of business success: planning, marketing, systems, motivation and discipline are expertly covered in this book. Learn what successful business owners already know when you follow Dr Greg Chapman’s advice. This book is the prescription that takes away the pain of growing your business.”
Tony Steven, CEO Council of Small Business of Australia

"When I read The 5 Pillars of Guaranteed Business Success I was stunned - finally, a book that is clearly written by somebody who really understands what it's like to be trapped in a small business, for people who are in small business. If you're in a small business and feel that you could be doing much better, then this book is for you. I will certainly recommend it as required reading to my own clients who are just starting out in business."
Ron Stark, Business Kits Pty Ltd

“Greg has personally helped me to set goals and to see what I needed to do to succeed in my business. He has managed to put those tools and ideas into a logical and easy to follow plan. The employment of a case study makes the book real and makes the theory explicit. I recommend his first book to anyone about to go or already in business."
Judith Field, Director of Direct Speech

“Amazing results! In just a few months of working with Dr Chapman I have been able to increase my chargeable hourly rate by a massive 400%.The exciting thing is, the clients I now work with don’t have an issue with price point, they recognise the value in my services and happily engage."
Greg Fellows, Dynamic Business & Training Solutions

"Hi Greg,
Many thanks for the book you sent a few weeks ago. I have had a look through it and think it is very good - it feels more realistic and relevant to Australian small business than the Gerber stuff. Let's hope it's as successful! Congratulations anyway. I can see you are practicing what you preach."
Graeme Parsons, Teams for Tasks

"Dr. Greg Chapman’s book is essential reading for any small business owner wanting to avoid the common traps that lead to business failure. This is an easy to read, practical guide to running a better business and a must have addition to any proactive business owner’s library."
Paul McCarthy International Award winning speaker, author and President of National Speakers Association of Australia’s Victorian Chapter 2007.

The Unique Get Your Business Into Gear 90 Day Program
for Owners whose Businesses that have Growing Pains or hit a Plateau

“How Did One Business Owner Increase His Fees by 400% and Two Others Double the Size of Their Businesses in a Year?”

….And How YOU Can Do the Same by Replacing Unfocused, Unproductive Effort With Proven Laser Like Strategies
Designed Specifically  for YOUR Business and
Turning it  into a Saleable Asset.

Dear Business Owner,

Your business, your sanity, your entire future may be in SERIOUS PERIL if you are buying into any of these small business lies:

1.  “If you just keep doing what you do, one day it will all click and then you can take it easy”
2.  “People will recognise the quality of your service and refer all their friends”
3.  “You must do the same things that others in your sector do to be successful”
4.  “By just focusing on your costs and keeping them low your business will grow”
5.  “Your customers only want to deal with you and won’t deal with anyone else in your business.”
6.  “Bringing others into your business will force your prices up”
7.  “Marketing is expensive and doesn’t work in your sector”
8.  “Your customers appreciate seeing you working on the tools”
9.  “Customers are all focused on price”

Let me ask you an honest question…

Don’t you despise spending all your day chasing others to buy from you, chasing suppliers and fixing up the mistakes others have made, when you could be working ON your business?

What would you give to be able to come home from work every day and be able to point to some positive change to your business which will make it easier for you tomorrow?

What would you give to know that at the end of the week, and at the end of the month and at the end of the year, you will be able to look back and see & measure the changes you have made?

To be able to know with certainty that these changes will happen and to design how your business will look like a year from now?

What would it be like to have such control over your business?

What could your business look like at the end of next financial year? There are two answers to this question:

If you continue to do what you are doing now, it will probably look the same as it does now. Do you honestly believe it could be otherwise?

If you actually took some action, made strategic changes and invested in your business, it could become whatever you planned it to be.

Learn about three business owners who answered the question the second way and how they massively increased their profitablity HERE

Imagine that this time next year, you were able to look back at what you had achieved. You had invested a year to improve your business and understood and implemented strategies that created success you never had dreamed of before.

It’s one thing to read books and listen to CD’s… and even to attend live seminars and hear people talk about winning strategies listening to a lot of theory and hype from a stage performer. It’s an altogether different experience to sit down with a recognised expert and just work out what the actual changes should be for your business.

Which is why I’m inviting you to come visit me in Melbourne in July and spend 3 days with me and a small group of other like minded business owners to knock your business into shape in the next financial year at a Business Owners Retreat.

Together we will roll up our sleeves and work ON your business. Before you go home, you will know how you will achieve the results for the new financial year. And over the following 90 days you will receive the support you need to implement these strategies, from me.

Before I go any further, let me make one thing clear: What I am about to describe here is not for everyone. It’s not for start-ups. It’s not for you if you’re not already off to a solid start with some results under your belt. To participate, you have to have a real, functional business.

It’s not a $49 eBook and its definitely not a blue-light special. It’s not going to work for you if you are seeking get rich quick tricks and flash-in-the-pan gimmicks provided by many marketers. We’re going to implement sound principles in an organised fashion to grow your business from a firm foundation, in a systematic, sustainable, step-by-step way.

Only 8 Businesses may participate. All potential participants will be interviewed by Dr Greg Chapman to ensure that each business is either at Growing Pains or at Maturity Level as defined by his Business Lifecycle Model.

This will ensure that the businesses are all at a similar level of their development so that there will be Quality Peer Feedback - an essential dimension in this unique program.

 

We have been to many business seminars and workshops over the years and found that the information, whilst good, was generally not presented with a real understanding of small business and lacked the follow up and accountability that we needed to successfully implement the information.
At this Retreat we not only received excellent information, but also the opportunity to instantly see how it directly benefited our business. We gained invaluable feedback, assistance and accountability from Dr Greg Chapman and the other small business owners who, in this setting, became a very effective “Board of Directors”.
The ongoing communication and support services available to us after the workshop is unique and will have a major impact on our ability to achieve our goals for the future of our business.

Geoff & Sherryl-Lee Secomb – Geoff Secomb Music

How will this work? This program starts off with a Retreat in Sydney on 17th, 18th, 19th October. I will be accepting an absolute maximum of a 8 businesses so that everyone will be able to receive personal help from me.

I’ll help each of you, and you will help each other in a structured workshop environment, to develop the strategies for your success for the next 12 months. At the end of our time together you will have:

1. Hard goals for your business in the next 12 months
2. Detailed Strategies to achieve your goals and an implementation plan
3. Strategic Marketing Analysis of Your Business critiqued by me
4. Development of your Sales Pipeline
5. Business Organisation Plan
6. A 90 day Action Plan

And remember, you get to share this experience with a small group of other business owners. They will become ‘non-executive directors’ of your board. You’ll get inspiration from what they’re doing, from their experience, from the questions they ask. You will be accountable to Your Board. In just 3 days you’ll acquire a much deeper understanding of successful business strategies.

While you’ll agree all that sounds great, its not enough. I want to make sure you are able to implement your plan, so I will give you 90 days of support after the Retreat.

I will review your weekly reports of your progress, and give you unlimited email support over the next 90 days. We will also have monthly phone hook-ups to where you will share your progress with your team of non-executive directors and I will answer all your questions. Note the peer pressure and support you will receive from your non-executive directors will be invaluable to ensuring your commitment to your goals.

After the meeting you will also have complete access to hundreds of pages of additional material from the Australian Business Coaching Club on every aspect of business from business management systems to online marketing to assist your implementation.

What I liked best was the format with other business owners to be able to get insight into other businesses and what areas they get stuck on. I also liked the “Board of Directors”.

Bruce Young – Everglaze

You cannot easily obtain this kind of experience for your business. I have been paid as much as $30,000 for similar advice from private clients. In this workshop format and in the ongoing support, you get similar value at a fraction of the cost.

Now that I think about it, I can’t really think of anyone else who’s doing this. There’s just no substitute for getting this kind of help in person, from a recognised expert and to hear from your Peers about their business and their experiences. I’ve worked with literally hundreds of owners and their businesses and I know what makes them tick. I know their idiosyncrasies, I know the odd success signals to look out for and I know the hidden pitfalls.

Three days with me can change your life and your business. The confidence boost you get from this alone could make the difference, all by itself.

As you can see, my
coaching clients got some serious traction and dramatic increases in profitability. So what about you? Are you struggling to grow your business beyond that keeping your head above water level? Then you know you have to either make serious improvements right away, or forever have to battle just to keep your business where it is today.

Greg, What a year! I have done a profit analysis for the two calendar halves of the year. 100% increase in Gross Profit & Revenue in line with forecast. Hired two new staff. The big improvement has been the ability for me to know where my money is and how best to spend it! Thanks for all your help!"

Ray Verati,Verve Project Management Pty Ltd

Are you doing “Okay”? Well… Who wants to do just “Okay”? You didn’t start your business and say, “Gee Darling, let’s start a really Okay business?” …did you?

The danger is when you are doing okay, there is only a thin difference between black and red ink. It doesn’t take much to change the colour of the ink. So “Okay” is not good enough. It’s not sustainable in the long run, and business is a marathon, not a sprint.

Whether you’re running $1,000 a month in the red, (and many businesses who think they are making a modest profit, are actually making a loss when they do all the sums) or putting $50,000 a month in your pocket, I’m writing to tell you that you can do better…vastly better.

Greg’s weekend retreat was essential for me to re-establish my direction and drive towards my business. I think any small to medium business owner that has ‘Plateaued’ should attend and come to a realisation of how their business could flourish and how much an asset they are to their business. Thanks Greg

Robert Ameer – Opulent Homes

At our Retreat, I will show you how you can multiply your profits and make your business run without you. This is what you will get:

Killer Business Strategies + Marketing Intelligence + Continuous Improvement = A Huge Snowball Effect, and a Booming Bottom Line

The power of strategic vision means focusing all your resources on your objectives and achieving them. When you make this quantum leap, new opportunities you never considered will emerge – from unexpected places. People find you, and want to do business with you. Not just customers, but other players. Success attracts success. You become the person people want to work with in your sector. That’s how it happens.

Do I have the credentials to back up these statements?

Indeed I do. You have seen and heard the successes of my previous students.

My book, “The Five Pillars of Guaranteed Business Success” has been shortlisted for the international 2008 Indie Business Book Award, and is now on the Melbourne University book list and is required reading for Architecture students (if you have read the book you will know why).

I have been a judge for the Telstra Business Awards and the Marketing and Communication Executive International Awards. I am regularly published in the media, and online. Most months you will find an interview with me in some business magazine. I am the publisher of the Small Business Achiever.

My formal qualifications include a Master of Business Administration from Deakin University, and I am a Certified Master Coach by the Behavioural Coaching Institute.

Is this the sort of experience you would want from your business coach?

I have looked at a lot of web based coaches and life teachers. The all have flash sites and seem really good at marketing themselves and their product but I never see a lot of substance behind them. Even after the marketing of all the other sites had stopped or I have stopped them because they all seemed a bunch of shonks the Dr Greg Chapman's emails kept rolling in. The more I read the more there seemed to be a real person offering a real service behind it.

Then the opportunity of a retreat came up. But this was no ordinary weekend of gee up and go at it type stuff this guy was going to work with me for 90 days to make it happen. So far Dr Greg Chapman has delivered all he has promised and I now believe I have the tools and support to achieve more than ever before this year.


Having spent over $20,000 on coaching before I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the coaching Greg has offered to date for a fraction of the outlay.

I have been to the xxxxxxxx's (redacted) of this world and had grouped you in with him and his kind. I am pleased to say I was completely wrong. All I have heard from Dr Greg Chapman is ethical, sensible and workable information.

How to Book:

This program is NOT for new business. Only those owners who have an established business and have demonstrated a minimum level of achievement will qualify for this course. More junior businesses should consider the Five Pillars of Guaranteed Business Success program (Click on Events at the top of the page). This is a medium level program for business owners who know what they don't know.

If accepted into this program, you will know that you will be working with owners at a similar level of achievement with similar issues that you will be able to share with them. Some previous participants have gone on to form alliances with each other, although that is not the prime purpose of the program.

For this reason, you will be asked to fill in a questionaire to apply for participation.

You will then have an interview with Dr Greg Chapman who will be able to answer any questions you may have on this program, and he will advise at the end of the call whether he believes you will obtain value from this program.

Those accepted will be required to complete payment within 48 hours to hold their place in the program.

This Program will Change Your Business and Your Life.

P.S. Let me restate the Absolute Satisfaction Guarantee. If by the end of the second day, you can't see how you will get 10 times your investment back from what you have learnt so far, you will receive a complete refund. For Any Reason. Or No Reason At All. No Hassles & No Hard Feelings.

Some people wonder if I get taken advantage of with a guarantee like that. Almost never. Here's why:

People who are not genuinely interested in working hard and getting ahead in an honest and legitimate way, rareley seek this kind of help and information. I really don't think you're going to act in bad faith, so I am not worried about that.

Beyond that, I know this system works. Otherwise I wouldn't make such an outrageous guarantee! If you are like most business owners, it will just take a few simple strategies to earn back your investment in multiples.All tyou would probably need is one new customer that you wouldn't have got before, or be able to increase your prices, and the investment will have paid off for you. Right?

P.P.S. Are you still skeptical? That's fine. When in doubt, of course the easiest thing to do is do nothing. But if you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting. Is it enough? I'd like to help you do a lot better. Maybe there is something I left out. If so please contact me directly.

Don't let some doubt or skepticism keep you from taking some much-needed action, especially as I am taking all the risk. I look forward to making the next financial year the best one ever for your business.
