About Tim Stokes - Serial Business Owner
Entrepreneur - MARKETING PRO
Australia's Trusted 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 started to change after attending The E-Myth weekend workshop with the famous book Michael Gerber, who talked about working on your business and all the topics of success business, including automating it with systems, to work without the owner.
His next learning experience was with Marketing with the great Jab 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.
Tim is now recognised internationally as a business coaching pioneer. He has trained hundreds of coaches across the world, his knowledge is printed in the books of Brad Sugars and thousands of businesses benefit from his business methodologies and systems.

He has lived in Brisbane since 2004 with his wife and two children, after moving up from Penrith NSW where his previous business coaching business operated.
Tim grew up in Camden where he went to school and enjoyed playing hockey and chess against other schools and it's where he started his first business.
Focus on Business as a Vehicle to Wealth and Lifestyle Results
Tim's first two businesses were in the tree service industry where he started new businesses in different locations while studying to become a qualified arborist.
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 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 shareholding partner and developed the systems to franchise it.

Two Decades of Life-changing Results
With Client Case Studies Featured in National Business Magazines
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% 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.
