When I thought about doing the programme I was concerned about the time factor like work and life is really busy. I've got two small children, I had an 8 month old at the time, so I didn’t know whether I could actually do it from a time constraint, and having a night away from my young family and also time away from work. Another consideration of the money commitment, would it be worth it at the end of the day, I guess and, just time pressure. Probably just being time poor I thinking, am I actually going to get out of this what it appears to present and what’s it going to bring to my workplace and to my life.

But in saying that, I also know that I had to change, I had to change something. I had to have a better business structure. I had to do more to be successful in business and I didn't have those tools in my toolbox and it scared me probably in limiting me going planning forward in my own mind, which caused stress for the future. So I knew I had to do something. It started when I met Nick. I think he’s the most down to earth loyal, honest guy who I can really relate to. I can really trust him. It’s his manner, how he presents information. You have a problem, you can write a message, he will call you and do what he says – a very quick turnaround. So probably being able to meet him and I just knew I could trust him, and he was someone very similar to myself. I have loved the course, wouldn’t change it for the world.

Nick’s course has been amazing. It has been worth every cent. I would do it again if I could. And I often said last night to the other course participants at dinner I said “Oh no, I don’t want to cut off at the end of this course. I’m going too as Nick, can we still you know, do some mentoring because it has been so valuable and I have come so far in the last 8 months. I have the tools in my toolbox now to deal with situations and I have plans and I have some insight in where to go and what to do. Whereas prior to this time, I w as just putting out fires all the time, high stress, high pressure, and just thought that I' d burned out and I'd crashed. So now I feel that Nick's given me those tools in my toolbox and I, I can just, no, I can deal with life stress work, um, difficult to staff, employees, recruitment, um, and everything in between, at a much higher level, which makes work now a bit more enjoyable and business a little bit more fun and exciting rather than stressful and thinking I am not a business person. I've now, and now I'm going to say I do enjoy it. It is a little bit fun. Since starting the course Lizzy has doubled her clinic revenue, reduced her hours, hired 3 new physios, a new practice manager, and release 3 underperforming team members to “a new adventure”
