Wanna Be Your Own Boss? Wanna Build Your Own Business?
How many Monday mornings have you woken up with that sinking feeling?
The feeling that you’ll have to put yourself through another week at the 9-5 job you hate. Another week spent living your life for somebody else.
When did it become okay to give up on your dreams of becoming an entrepreneur? To simply live for the weekend or a couple of weeks of annual leave?
It’s time to break free from the 9-5 rat race and regain control of your life.
If you’re anything like me, you’re not looking to become a billionaire… That will be nice too if it happens!
You’re simply looking to call the shots in your own life. You’re looking for a life that makes you jump out of bed with enthusiasm, rather than counting the minutes till the weekend.
Well, I have some good news for you…
YOUR NEW LIFE COULD START RIGHT HERE!
Why Hands-Free?
"Intelligent automation MUST be part of your organisation’s overall strategic, well-funded digital transformation initiative". Why? Your future workplace depends on it.
How to go from hands-on to HANDS-FREE!
Driving a manual car is an experience for the most die-hard of car enthusiasts. Being in full control of the car at all times is "the thrill".
In a business not so much! Why?
Who wants to be "on call" in their business 24/7. Not me!
How about you?
That is why I have made it my MISSION to help as many entrepreneurs as I can -
GO HANDS-FREE.
You need to restore your Work>Life Balance - STAT!
Your family will love you for it and so will your business!
GO HANDS-FREE HERETime is the new CURRENCY in Business.
How do you use it wisely!
When starting out in business you wear many hats. Some of the many tasks you could be performing throughout the day:
#Finance
#Bookkeeping
#Human Resources
#Purchasing
#Production
#Customer Service
#Marketing
#IT
Most entrepreneurs start the day with a HUGE To-Do-List and very rarely complete their entire list!
That is why CLOUD SOFTWARE and Digital Automation is a MUST HAVE!
What is Digital Automation?
Using Digital automation in your organisation can automate any business process which is executed in one or more software systems and use inputs in digital format.

Why Re-invent the Wheel when you can have it DONE-4-U?
Systems and processes have a significant role in building a company. They serve as the essential building blocks that supports the business the growth of your business (and employee happiness too!) The two most important factors of implementing systems and processes in your business are efficiency and accuracy.
A process forms the lifeline for any business and helps it streamline individual activities, making sure that resources are put to optimal use.
It does not mean that you have to design and implement them yourself.
We can do them for you or you can get READY MADE!

Looking for a Career Change?
Is this your daily schedule?
You get up at 6 am sharp, prepare for your 9-5 job and get stuck in the traffic on your commute to reach your office. As the extended deadlines keep you on your toes, the 5 pm shifts stretch to 7 pm. Your 8 hour day becomes a 10 hour day but only paid for 8. You promised to spend quality time with your family this evening, do your workout and watch the most awaited TV series. But, the commute is long and strenuous and by the time you reach home, all you want to do is to grab a quick bite to eat, attend to the chores, spend time with the family, change into your comfy clothes and then go to bed. Doesn’t that sound familiar? If so, then it’s high time that you opt for a career change.
A career where you control your days!

Why I Do It!
Throughout my 35 + year career in the accounting & financial services industry, I have seen too many businesses fail through no fault of their own. The problem was they did not get the right advice from DAY ONE. They also only had an annual relationship with their financial advisor.
While money is the core of your business, it should not be a driving force for you to succeed. In Australia 97% of businesses fail and 60% shut down in the first 3 years, many businesses fail as they are not able to establish the ‘WHY’ for their actions. They lack motive, passion, and a vision for innovating something in their industry or niche. They simply run for the money and get deprived of success when their ventures don’t give back. If you are passionate about your business and have an interest in what you do, you can have a potential impact on the world. Understanding the ‘why’ factor will also help in setting goals and achieving them in the long run.
MY MISSION:
PREVENT ONE MORE FAILED BUSINESS.
My Family are my biggest motivators and supporters
I am a South African-born, New Zealand Citizen living in Perth, Western Australia, and in my book, constitutes being a “true blue” Tri-Nations. I speak 4 languages namely South African English, New Zealand English, Australian English, and Afrikaans. An example of the differences between the languages:
AU: Thongs | NZ: Jandals | SA: Flip-flops or Plakkies in Afrikaans
AU: Esky | NZ: Chilly Bin | SA: Cooler Box
When asked which Rugby Team I support the answer must be Australia of course. This was my last country move so I now call Australia home!
I am married to my best friend and soul mate Graham the love of my life, whom I have known forever and we still like hanging out with one another on the weekends going for motorcycle rides, or sitting at the beach catching a feed.
We have two beautiful grown-up children, a son Daine living in Nelson New Zealand with his beautiful wife Tiffaney, and our Grandson Cardin, and our daughter Candice living in Perth with her Partner Evan. We had 2 Jack Russel’s Zoe and Owen. Owen has passed away at age 15 and Zoe has recently turned 18.
