Business Mentoring to Make Working in Your Business Optional

Have You Made Significant, Measurable Progress in the Last Six Months?

It's the question I ask owners I meet. Most can't point to any — not because they aren't working hard enough. Working hard isn't the same as progress.

Most of the businesses I'm called into have stopped growing. 

The ones that are still growing have a quieter problem. 

Of the hundreds of Profit & Loss statements I've been through, more than 90% show a Net Profit Margin slipping year on year — and almost none of those owners had noticed. 

Income was up from last year. Profit dollars were up from last year. Everything looked good.

Growth hides it. You can grow your revenue, grow your profit, and be running a steadily less profitable business the whole time. 

What you notice is a decrease in cash. It gets harder to pay bills on time.

business mentoring solution

Income is what arrives. Net profit is what's left after the bills are paid. Only one of them is yours.


Recommendation for you: Compare this year's net profit margin to last year's. It takes two minutes, and for most owners, the number isn't what they expected.

After 28 years and more than a thousand businesses, both problems come down to the same thing — and most owners have three of them at once.

The Big 5 Challenges of Business Ownership

You have no time. You work fifty to seventy hours a week, and you have to be there every day or things don't happen.

You can't hire good people — or keep them accountable once you do. The good ones cost a fortune and the rest won't take responsibility.

Cash never builds up. This is almost always a low margin problem. Cash flow challenges are the symptom of low margins.

Marketing doesn't produce leads. Despite spending money on ads and agencies. Still quoting the same price shoppers.

Achieving your goals. Not having to be there all the time — never gets closer.

That last one has a name. I've called it Business Freedom since 2007, where there's no stress, and no frustration. You are free of all of that. 

You love your business and your life. And it is the only thing on this page that matters. The other four are what stand in its way.

He Was Away From His Business - For 6 Years

Clint was an electrical contractor in Townsville, working 80 hours a week with three employees. When his wife first suggested he talk to me, he said he didn't have the time.

It began with a Strategy Planning Meeting to identify his growth priorities, not his workload. That resulted in building the team. Rewriting the marketing he already had — no new spend. Sharpened how he sold his services. 

His income tripled, and the business grew to ten people - one fully functioning, accountable team.

The weekly team meetings and the metrics did what they are designed to do: the business stopped needing him. He bought investment properties in a town 430km away and moved there to work on them. 

A year later, he bought a motorhome and took his wife and two kids around Australia - three times. All the while, his business kept operating - without him. All thanks to the structure put in place.

He isn't the Only One

Chris Hislop, electrical contracting. Took two months off in remote Indonesia with no internet access. The business ran without him. Revenue went from $1.5M to $4M, net margin from 8% to 25%, the team from 8 to 26 — and his own week from 65 hours to 32.

Allan Baggs, Precision Powder Coating. From $18–30k a month and one employee (when we met) to twelve employees and over $2M. When he isn't there, he's with his family, fishing, or restoring motorcycles.

“The best money I've ever spent. Invest in yourself, get some freedom, because that's what you're going to get.”

“Now that I have a full time manager, I don't have to be working in my business. I choose to work in the business.”

A retail music shop owner. Six months after starting, his team were running things so well they asked him to stop coming in. So he stopped — and started a second business.

You Can't Hire Your Way Out at 5% Net Profit

Low net profit margins are one of the biggest challenges in business. It hurts cash reserves, and unfortunately, the figure decreases as income rises because overheads and expenses increase with it. 

Increasing net profit margins by reducing expenses may add 1% to 3%, but when it's at 5% or under 10%, that's not enough to move it to my recommended figure — 15%, when yearly income is over $800,000. 

Most owners who want out of the day-to-day management consider a manager. Someone to run it for them, but then look at what a manager costs, and look at what's left at the bottom of the Profit & Loss and realise they can't afford one.

I've been through hundreds of Profit & Loss statements. Among established service businesses turning over more than $800,000, nine in ten run on less than 10% net profit. 

At 5% on a million dollars of revenue, that is $50,000 for the entire year. You cannot pay a general manager out of that.

Where most businesses are

At 5% net profit

Income$1,000,000
Net profit margin5%
Net profit for the year$50,000
A general manager costs−$150,000

$100,000 short of a manager.

The Freedom Goal

At 15% net profit

Income$2,000,000
Net profit margin15%
Net profit for the year$300,000
A general manager costs−$150,000

$150,000 left over after the manager.

Without that margin increase, you stay on the tools or in the manager role. The business stays dependent on you. And nothing changes, no matter how hard you work.

Net profit margin is the closest thing there is to a scorecard for how well a business is run. Unlike income, it is comparable to every other business in your industry.

Before I compare financial figures to anything, I adjust for the owner's wage. A $1.5 Million business paying its owner $200,000 isn't necessarily badly run if the net profit margin is low, even if it just looks that way on paper. 

Put that wage back into what the manager's job would cost to fill, and the real margin appears. That's one of a few checks I carry out before deciding on the true margin and performance of the business. 

Your margin isn't a vanity metric. It is the thing that buys your way out.

The Freedom Goal: Ten People, $2 Million

The point where the business earns enough to pay someone else to run it

income profit increases

With around ten people, seven are doing income-producing work, one or two are in admin, and one is estimating. 

In Australia, that is a business near $2 million. At a 15% net margin — a minimum I aim for with most clients — that is a $300,000 net profit.

With that net profit, the business can pay a general manager $150,000 and still have profit left over. 

That is the point at which working becomes optional.

Most owners have never been given a target like that. They have been told to grow, without anyone explaining what they are growing towards.

profit formula

What I aim for

My minimum goal for every client is a 50% increase in net profit, or $50,000, inside twelve months.

And my aim is to be free as a cost — to increase your net profit by considerably more than you pay me.

I can't promise that, and I won't pretend otherwise: what you get depends on what you implement. But it is the standard I hold myself to, and the results further down this page are what it looks like when an owner commits.

The Profit is Already in Your Business. It's Leaking.

profit leak plugging

Picture your business as a bucket. Leads pour in the top. And as the business grows in income, it develops inefficiencies — leaks — and every one of them takes something off your net profit.

So what do most owners do to grow?

They pour in more water. More leads, more marketing, more staff, more hours. The leaks stay exactly where they are.

Your net profit margin drops. There's less cash in the account, and invoices start getting harder to pay on time.

Not a great plan.

It isn't stupidity, either. Lead generation is the only growth tool most owners have ever considered.

Increasing leads does grow a business. It just doesn't grow the margin, and it doesn't plug a single leak. Sales go up, income goes up, and so does the number of employees you need to handle it.

And the leaks get bigger as the income grows. Your own ability to hold people accountable is spread thinner with every extra employee.

Every hole is a profit leak you are already paying for.


What I look for are the corks. They cost nothing to put in, and once the leaks are plugged your margin rises without chasing a single extra lead.


profit leaks plugged by strategies

Same lead and sales volume in. Nine of my 111 possible strategies in place. All increase profit with no marketing cost.

Six businesses that lifted their margin

Metal engineering

$6.2M income

4.8% → 9.8%

Six months, six fewer employees, and around $310,000 more in operating profit.

Benchtop manufacturing

$17,000 → $100,000+ a month in 35 weeks

15% → 28%

Gross margin nearly doubled on a price rise of about 18% — yet his income went up six times.

Fibre optic services

$757k → $1.5M income

8% → 22%

Net profit $63,000 to $330,000 — without using marketing or adding a single employee.

Vehicle radiators

$2.1M → $2.4M income

5% → 16.6%

Operating profit $106k to $404k — close to four times over.

Mortgage broking

A team of four

9.6% → 18.6%

Without hiring anyone or running a single ad.

Security sales and service

$750,000 income

−5% → 15%

Losing money, then 10% — and 15% in the final two months. Same number of staff.

Every one of them came from the same place — pricing that had never been tested, job types that had never been measured separately, and teams with no accountability structure.

And the leak you can't see is the one that costs the most.

Most of the stress in a small business isn't caused by the business. It's caused by finding out late.

Leads drop 20% in a week. Nothing feels different — there's still work on. Six weeks later, there isn't enough work, people are standing around, and the cash is tight. It was visible on day one, and nobody was looking.

Work in progress down 20% for three weeks means customer jobs will run one to three weeks late, invoices go out late, and the bank balance dips a month from now. All of it is knowable on the Friday it starts.

Management Report Dashboard mentoring program

This bar-graph dashboard is a ROaP (Report On a Page). It allows six figures to be entered each week - the Number of Leads, Sales Accepted Income, Work In Progress (WIP), Gross Margin Average, Cash In and Overdue Receivables. It reveals the trend week to week so that within two weeks a change to sales, productivity or cash flow can be identified to support management decisions.  

Margin doesn't cost anything to find.
It just has to be looked for with facts and figures.

Two Generations, One Business, 13.9% to 27% Net Profit

A mechanical repair business in a trade where most workshops run on single-digit margins. Every figure below comes out of their own monthly Profit & Loss.

The year before I started

13.9%

on $1.93M of income

The first full year

18.4%

on $2.27M of income

The last four months

27%

on $839K of income

The margin nearly doubled. Not one extra technical employee was hired to do it.

The owner didn't want mentoring for himself. He wanted it for his son, who had just stepped into the General Manager's chair and now had to run a business he had grown up inside.

So our focus was on the numbers rather than the workload. Gross margin by job type, so they could see which work was paying and which was quietly costing them. Metrics the son could hold a team to without standing over anyone. Pricing that had never been tested in all the years the business had been running.

Income went up by a third along the way. But income was never the point. The margin is what changed what the business could afford.

December had always been the worst month of their year.

The December before I started

−7.8%

A loss of $8,917

on $113,743 of income

The same month, two years on

34.7%

A net profit of $71,352

on $205,498 of income

Same month. Same business. Same customers. Same trade.

And it wasn't a fluke year. The December in between came in at 31.6%.

The margin got strong enough to pay for a manager. So the son hired someone to replace himself in the General Manager's role, and moved up. The business stopped consuming management capacity and started generating it.

That is the whole argument of this page, happening in one workshop, to one family.

And the reason they called me at all: the father had been a client ten years earlier.

Ten years is a long time to keep someone's phone number. It is a longer time for what you built together to still be working.

Three Owners, Three Reasons it Wouldn't Work

Every owner has one. Here are the three I hear most, and what happened to the businesses that had them.

“A manager won't run it the way I do.”

A metal fabrication business

One business and three employees when I was engaged. He was the estimator, the quoter, the problem solver, and the man who did the difficult jobs himself because he couldn't trust anyone else with them.

He now owns two businesses, each with its own General Manager, and around twenty staff between them. He didn't find one person who runs it the way he does. He built a business that two other people can run without him.

Businesses1 → 2
General Managers0 → 2
Staff3 → ~20

“I can't get the people I need.”

A civil engineering company in a small country town

Six months of work had produced $387,935 of income and a net profit of eighty dollars. Not eighty thousand. Eighty.

The constraint was never demand. It was that no civil engineer would leave a capital city to work in his town, so every job was capped by the hours he and one other person could physically do. 

I solved it with offshore engineers, who returned about ten times their salary cost, and one senior hire in Brisbane. The next six months looked like this.

Income$566,071
Net profit$170,790
Net profit margin30%

Up from $80 in the six months before.

“Will it actually show in my P & L?”

A law firm

The Strategy Planning Meeting was on the 9th of December, where the business's untapped potential resulted in a goal set at $225,000 a month and a 15% net profit margin — for the year. Implementation of strategies started the following week, with weekly team development meetings. 

Both twelve-month goals were beaten within three months. The income goal was beaten by 18%, and the margin goal by more than two and a half times. 

A large part of that came from one decision the numbers made obvious: the firm was losing money on every wills and estates matter because of the outsourcing cost. The owner stopped the service line.

The goal for the year

$225,000 a month15%
February$173,000 · 35%
March$265,000 · 39%

The law firm's net profit went up by removing revenue.

That is not a decision anyone makes on instinct. It is only obvious once the numbers are in front of you, measured by job type, which is why the measuring comes before the strategy and not after it.

Tell me your reason it won't work. I'll tell you what I'd look at first.

I Don't Give You Advice. I Give You Proof.

If I told you to raise your prices 10%, you'd refuse. And you'd be right to — I'd be asking you to bet your revenue on my opinion.

So I don't ask you to take my word for anything.

Take the price. I don't have an opinion about your price I have a formula.

Gross Margin − Expenses = Net Profit Margin

If expenses run at 24% of income and the target is to keep 15%, the price has to sit at 39% gross margin. No other number gets there.

Most owners have never done that subtraction. So the price gets set against what the business down the road charges, or against what feels defensible, and the bottom line is left to take care of itself.

Before a single strategy goes in, I measure. Every client gets a full management reporting system built in Airtable: gross profit, margin by job type, job-level performance, true work in progress, in real time. Then I watch what the numbers say.

They are remarkably blunt. They show which job types are quietly capping your margin. They show what your leads actually convert at. They showed one owner he was losing money on an entire service line. They show, in your own figures, where the profit is leaking.

And once you can see it, you act — fast. Not because I convinced you. Because your own numbers did.

Tim Stokes business mentoring brisbane, sydney

Every number on this page came out of a business where the people doing the work recorded their hours accurately. Over 96% of all paid hours. That is the hard part — not the software.


Most owners have tried it. Timesheets go in, they are patchy inside a month, fiction inside three. So the gross margin on a job type is a guess, the lead source figures are a guess, and every decision built on top of them is a guess wearing a number.

Getting a team to record accurately, and keep recording, takes about two months and a structure. That part is training, not technology. Which is why handing an owner the system on its own would be handing him nothing.


That is also why I measure before anything changes: when you raise your prices and your conversion rate doesn't drop, you can see that it didn't. The relief is the point.

Confidence comes from evidence, not encouragement.


Where this came from

Penrith, 1999.

A general manager at Cumberland Newspapers showed me the reports he had to send Rupert Murdoch every week. Sales figures. Production figures — what the journalists actually produced. Financial figures.

That was how a man on another continent ran a business he was never inside: by numbers, weekly, without exception. Not by visiting. Not by trusting. By measuring.

It also showed me the shape of it. Every business does three things. Each has its own failure points, and each has its own metrics.

One

Gets the sale

Two

Does the work

Three

Gets paid

Get the right measures across all three and a business can be run by someone who isn't the owner. That is what the reporting system is for. It isn't bookkeeping, and it isn't reporting for its own sake — it is the instrument that lets you hand the business to a manager, or leave it running while you're not there.

I work at the coal face

I'm not an adviser who hands you a report and leaves.

I act as your marketing director and tell your web developer what to build.

I go into the admin panel and change the words myself — I've been doing on-page SEO for over 20 years.

I write the recruitment ad.

I teach your people how to sell on value.

I build the reporting system with you, live.

Most advisers can only tell you what to do. That's why their clients don't execute.

One example: hiring

Recruitment isn't my headline service. It's the problem most owners have personally failed at, repeatedly — so it's a fair test. Every result below used the same proven ad template, measured against Seek's own benchmark for similar ads.

Applicants are not the result. The hire is.

An electrical contractor

4.1× the applicants

61 candidates for one trades role, against an average of 12. Position filled — without paying the salary other ads offered.

An IT role on the Sunshine Coast, unfilled for four years

112 candidates, against an average of 16

Four years of nothing. One ad, and the position was filled.

A boilermaker role that had never attracted good tradesmen

Filled twice over

Enough applicants for two positions. Two people hired.

A trade assistant

Hired in seven days

Seven days from the ad going live.

Seek's own dashboard — the Sunshine Coast IT role

IT business Seek ad success

The blue line is his ad. The grey line underneath it is what ads like his normally do. Seek works the benchmark out.

Electrical contractor

eletrical tradesperson Seek ad

Every green figure on it is Seek comparing the ad to similar ads for the same role. The averages are printed underneath.

And one where it didn't work

A law firm client needed a senior lawyer. My ad didn't do it.

So I told her to use a recruiter — an approach neither she nor I like — and to spend the $40,000, because the net profit it would unlock was worth far more than the fee.

I'd rather tell you that than pretend the system never misses. My job is to find what works in your business, not to sell you mine.

Send me your Seek ad. I'll tell you what's costing you the applicants.

The People Who've Checked the Numbers

Accountants see what actually happened, in the financial statements, after the excitement wears off.

“Tim delivers what most coaches promise but rarely produce. His strategies are timeless, practical and immediately improve team alignment, productivity and cash flow. Sounds unbelievable — that's what I thought as well until I experienced it.”

"My business grew from 8 employees to 26"

"My business grew from $1.5 Million to $4 Million and I work 32 hours per week now and it used to be 65. 

 I'm a lot happier, I have a better lifestyle, have a lot more fun, I really enjoy coming to work and I enjoy the people I work with. 

When we first met our net profit margins were up and down, as low as 8%, which was horrific and now at the start of the financial year its running at 25% net profit on a 3 times higher turnover and we have a goal to get to 28% on a $5 Million turnover. 

The best money I've ever spent. Invest in yourself, get some freedom, because that's what you're going to get from Tim's business mentoring."

Now that I have a full-time manager, I don't have to work in my business. I choose to work in the business. 

If I'm not working in the business I spend time with the family, I go fishing and I restore motorcycles.

"We went from working 60 to 80 hours per week down to 40"

"Before the business mentoring course, the business was really struggling, with the Net Profit Margin at 1%. We didn't even know what that was. We were just doing the day to day work, but not really making money.

I was really in the trenches, juggling issues, juggling staff, and trying to manage clients and not really running the business. There was a lot of stress and we really needed to do something. Now our net profit margin is running around 16.5%.

Before the course, we had expanded into America, and had a team in Poland, Sydney and Brisbane but we hadn't thought about all the systems we should have. 

The best thing about the course was it improved our mindset, helped us to understand people more and gave us tools and systems to use."

Who This Works For


I navigate. You drive.


You already have the ads, the website, the team. None of it is new. What changes is how well each one is executed.

Everything on this page happened because an owner committed, and applied what he and I built together. I can find the profit and show you exactly where it is. I can't implement it for you, and I won't pretend the result doesn't depend on you.

What driving actually means

For the first two months: team meetings run to a set structure, and specific things said to specific people most days. I write the meetings and the wording. The owner runs them. That part can't be done from outside the business.

If you're looking for a guarantee before you start, I'm not the right person — and honestly, you're probably not ready.

The owners who get these results aren't looking for someone to carry the risk. They're looking for someone who knows where to look.

Business Mentoring FAQs

What exactly does a business mentor do?

A business mentor provides clarity, direction, and experience-based guidance to help you make better decisions and grow with fewer mistakes. They don’t run your business for you. Instead, they help you see blind spots, refine strategies, strengthen leadership, and improve profit margins by focusing on the underlying structure of the business, not just tactics. It's an education you can benefit from for life. 

Learn more about business mentoring

How is business mentoring different from coaching or consulting?

Coaching focuses on personal performance and mindset. Consulting focuses on delivering expert solutions for specific problems.
Business mentoring sits in the middle. A mentor brings real-world experience, helps you build systems that scale, and teaches you how to think strategically so you become more capable, confident, and independent over time. 

Learn about Tim's early business coaching years.

What types of businesses benefit most from mentoring?

Any business owner who wants to grow their business substantially, to improve margins, or reduce stress benefits greatly from mentoring. The strongest results tend to come from businesses that have grown past the early startup stage and now need structure, systems, and clearer decision-making to reach the next level without burning out the team or the owner. That said, clients from grown by over 800% to 100% in a year starting mentoring at $10,000/month income. 

View case studies. 

How long does business mentoring take before I see results?

It really does vary, and it depends on the business. Many businesses are not ready to grow by 50% in months, while others are. A client grew from $17,000/month income to $76,000/month income in 5 months as an example. While some clients, like a radiator service business increased net profit by $331,000 in a year, while only increasing revenue by $205,000. So growth can be about profit increase or sales, and what's needed most determines what the strategies are and how fast they can be implemented. All that said, six months can make a world of difference in terms of financial, bottom-line improvement. But results have been seen in weeks, sometimes even days. 

What areas of my business can a mentor help improve?

A good mentor helps with:
• Strategy and planning
• Profit margins and pricing
• Leadership and team performance
• Marketing clarity and positioning
• Systemisation and scaling
• Recruitment solutions
• Removing bottlenecks and hidden inefficiencies

It’s not just problem-solving — it’s building a stronger, smarter structure for long-term growth, with freedom.

Do you provide marketing mentoring?

With 30+ years of hands-on marketing creation and implementation, Tim gets results fast. A secret he shares is that premium quality marketing hides in plain sight. Examples of outstanding website designs that convert visitors into sales at 6% to 8%, way above the industry averages, yet to an untrained eye, the website may not seem anything special. Converting more visitors into sales is an area where Tim excels. Without a high-converting website, it's all too easy to burn cash on advertising for little return. Check out the short video on digital marketing results on the marketing mentoring page for example results. 

How much does business mentoring cost?

Every engagement starts with a two-hour Strategy Planning Meeting, where I find the one constraint holding your business back before anything else is done. What follows depends on what that meeting finds.

I aim to be free for it to be an investment — to increase your net profit by considerably more than you pay me. My minimum goal is a 50% increase in net profit, or $50,000+, within twelve months. I can't promise it, because the result depends on what you implement. But it's the standard I hold myself to and the results achieved over 28 years reflect that as a realistic goal.
