About Tim Stokes - Serial Business Owner
Entrepreneur - Strategist - MARKETING PRO
Australia's Pioneer Business Coach & Mentor
Meet Tim, who has owned and built six service businesses.
Tim's first started his own business in the tree service industry in the 80's. It took him seven years of stress and struggle to realise he didn't know much about running a business.
That changed after attending The E-Myth weekend workshop with the famous book author Michael Gerber, who talked about working on your business and all the topics of successful business, including automating it with systems, to work without the owner.
His next learning experience was with Marketing with the great Jay Abraham, the world's highest paid marketer and then Chris Newton the Australian CEO of Results Corp.
By applying what he was fast learning, Tim tripled his business profits, while working half as many hours. Two years later he became a pioneer in the business coaching industry, starting in 1997 before the words business and coach had been put together.

FOCUS
Your Business is the Vehicle to Wealth and Lifestyle Success
Tim's first three businesses were in the tree service industry where he started new businesses in different locations while studying to become a qualified arborist or tree surgeon.
After 15 years of developing his business, he decided to share his success insights by becoming a pioneer in the business coaching industry starting in 1997. At the time there weren't any business coaches and he had to explain what his profession was.
While leaving Penrith to move to QLD he started his third business with a partner - a wealth creation education company called Wealth Empowerment that held 5-day workshops, promoted through his free seminars held in cities across QLD and NSW.
He started business coaching again in Brisbane while venturing into his next business, personal development and spiritual workshops where he became a partner and developed the systems to franchise it.

What's Possible? Business Coaching - Early Years and Results
As a business coach, despite it being early in his profession, Tim saw dozens of amazing results that surprised the business owner.
None of his clients expected to see an increase in Net Profit of 50% to 2,000% in a matter of months, especially without using any advertising, but that was constantly achieved.
The reason why it was achieved without using any additional advertising is because the owners said they didn't have any spare cash or they just didn't want to take the risk of spending money with no return on their investment.
This experience set Tim up to become a master business coach and mentor to grow businesses fast without using advertising. There are dozens of ways to increase income and profit in a business. What Tim realised is that net profit and especially margin is much more important than income and he figured out dozens of ways to do that.
"My purpose is to make a difference to the world, through business owners. When a business improves, so does the customer experience and the lives of the owner/s, their family, employees and their families. That's a win for everyone."

Decades of Business Transforming Results

Free Business Coaching
Tim's exposure and features in magazines began in May 1999 when he gave away six months of business coaching for free. His coaching was covered by the national business magazine - Inside Business Success.
The magazine found the business for Tim to coach by phone, which was a plant and gift retailer in Parramatta. Each month the magazine wrote up the strategies he implemented with the owner along with the difference in the business and the results.
By month five the turnover had doubled and increased again in month six at the conclusion of the free business coaching program.
1,200% Income Growth in 7 Months
In June 2002 My Business Success magazine published a story about a bathroom renovator whose business had grown by 1,000% in five months and by 1,200% in seven months thanks to Tim's phone coaching.
The owners were cautious and frustrated after previously spending $30,000 with experts and advisors with nothing to see by way of growth results.
