Programs
Four ways in, from a free group to working one-to-one with Greg. All of them build a business that runs without you.
We help you work through the decisions, the plan and the changes, and guide the work as you put it in place. You and your team own the agreed actions.
In Exit-Ready One-to-One you work directly with Greg. He only takes a handful of one-to-one clients at a time.

12 months
A$1,500 a month plus GST

One-to-one
A$3,000 a month plus GST (founding clients A$2,500)
Starts January 2027
Twelve months working directly with Greg. A session every fortnight, or weekly if you need it, plus everything in the other programs.
Guarantee. Do the homework for 12 months. If you don't hit the targets we agree in your Business Review, your sessions keep going free until you do. It's not a promise of a sale or a sale price.
More choice, sooner
Most owners leave it too late. The work is the same whatever you choose later: make the business run without you. Start early, and you get the benefit for years before you go.
Your team takes the everyday calls, so you get your evenings and weekends back while you still own the business.
A good manager runs it and you keep the income. You get the profit without being there every day.
Make your business easy for a buyer to understand and trust: clean numbers, written systems, and a team that runs it.
Many owners never hire a manager because they think they'll make less. They forget what doing it all themselves is costing them.
Applications open
Tell me about your business and which program you're interested in. It takes about five minutes.
A phone call with me. No slides, no pitch. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so.
If we both want to go ahead, I send you a payment link. For one-to-one, a A$500 deposit holds your place and comes off your first month.
The Exit-Ready 90 and one-to-one sessions start in the second week of January.
Want to start before Christmas? One-to-one clients can do the Business Review first.
The plan
Month 1 is the Business Review. Then the 12-month program runs in five stages, one group of Keys at a time. We adjust it to your business as we go.
Business Review
A deeper look at the numbers and all nine Keys. We rate each Key, pick where to start, and find the things you know you should be doing but aren't.
What you get: A simple 1 to 3 page plan you'll actually use, with the detail behind it. We review it every 90 days.
Month 1
Key 1: Strategy. Where you're going, by when, and what you want to happen to the business. We set up your monthly scorecard.
What you get: Your team knows the plan, and you can see your starting scores.
Months 2 to 3
Keys 2 and 3: Administration and Money. Records sorted so someone else can find them. Monthly numbers you trust and understand.
What you get: Tidy records and numbers you can act on.
Months 4 to 6
Keys 4 to 6: Marketing, Sales and Service. Enquiries come in without you chasing them. Someone else can price and win a job. The work is just as good when you're not on site.
What you get: Customers who belong to the business, not to you.
Months 7 to 9
Keys 7 and 8: Systems and Team. How you do things, written down step by step. The right people in the right seats, running those systems.
What you get: A new starter learns from the system, not from you.
Months 10 to 12
Key 9: Leadership. Someone else makes the day-to-day calls. Then the real test: time away with your phone off. We score the wheel again, and you choose your path.
What you get: A business that runs without you, and a clear choice about what happens next.
Working together
We help you work through the decisions, the plan and the changes, and guide the work as you put it in place. You and your team own the agreed actions. We meet one-on-one every fortnight, or weekly if you need it, and agree the actions for the time between sessions. Between sessions, an AI assistant checks in on your homework and lets Greg know if you're stuck. Greg works with you, the owner, and you hand the tasks to your team. Greg doesn't run your team, so your team learns to work without you.
Every month
Each month you get a one-page scorecard. It shows your Nine Keys moving, so you can see the business needing you less.
You and your team put the agreed changes into practice, keep the numbers current and raise problems early. Scope and the service agreement are settled before you join.
Exit-ready is a direction, not a promise of a sale, a sale price or a fixed completion date. Your starting point and the work needed shape the pace. We work alongside your accountant, lawyer and broker where their advice is needed.
Tell me about your business and which program suits you. If it looks like a fit, we book a 20-minute phone call.
A phone call with me. No slides, no pitch. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so on the call.
Is this for you?
You built a good business, but the big calls, the quotes and the phone still come back to you. You can't take a real break, and a buyer would see that straight away.
This program is for established owners who want that to change. You get more time now, a business that's worth more, and the choice of what happens next.
It's not for startups, solo operators, retail, hospitality or franchises. If you need to sell in the next few months, speak to a business broker first.
Questions
Australian service business owners, usually aged about 50 to 65 or over. The business is profitable and has a team, but it still runs through you, and you want to sell in the next 1 to 3 years or more.
No. You choose: keep it with a manager running it, sell to your team, or sell to an outside buyer.
That depends on where you start. We can't promise a sale or a price. If you do the work, by the end of the year your business will be much closer to exit-ready, and you'll know exactly what's left to do.
A one-on-one session with Greg every fortnight, or weekly if you need it, with a progress review every 90 days. Between sessions, an AI assistant checks in on your homework and lets Greg know if you're stuck. Each session starts with what got done.
It's done with you. We help you make the decisions, build the plan and guide the changes. You and your team do the agreed work between sessions. If you want extra hands-on help putting something in place, we scope it separately and agree it in writing first.
No. We work alongside them and bring them in when their advice is needed. We don't give financial, tax or legal advice, independent valuations, or business sale services.
Tell us early. We'll look at what's getting in the way and agree the next steps together. Falling behind is normal. Staying stuck is what we fix.
Yes, for things like busy season or a family matter. How pauses work is set out in your written agreement before you start, so there are no surprises.
The Business Exit Ready group is free. The Exit-Ready 90 is A$4,997 plus GST. The 12-month Exit-Ready Program is A$1,500 a month plus GST and opens around April. Exit-Ready One-to-One is A$3,000 a month plus GST, and founding one-to-one clients pay A$2,500 a month plus GST for the 12 months in return for a testimonial and case study if they get results.
Yes. In the Exit-Ready 90, do all 12 steps and if you're not happy, do it again free. In One-to-One, do the homework for 12 months, and if you don't hit the targets we agree in your Business Review, your sessions keep going free until you do. Neither is a promise of a sale or a sale price.
For One-to-One, after the fit call, if we both want to go ahead, I send you a payment link for A$500. It holds your place and comes off your first month. Sessions start in the second week of January.
Yes, for One-to-One. You can do the Business Review first, then start the fortnightly sessions in January.
I read your application and, if it looks like a fit, we book a 20-minute phone call. No slides, no pitch. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so on the call. If it is, you can hold your place.
They're the nine parts of every business. We score each one, start with the weakest, and work through them in order over the year.
It depends on what you want, and on what your business looks like today. The program helps you get it ready, so the choice is yours when the time comes.
When the business runs without you and the numbers are clean. Buyers pay for profit they can see in the books, so every dollar should be on paper. Start getting ready 2 to 5 years before you want to step back. Selling under pressure always means fewer choices.
That depends on the buyer and the deal. The stronger your team, the more a buyer will pay. Selling to your team is also an option.
Put them in your application. Applying doesn't commit you to anything.
A phone call with me. No slides, no pitch. If it isn't a fit, I'll say so on the call.
