What business owners say
after working with PBA
Real reviews from business owners who sat where you are sitting right now.
Trent Koehn
Up 50% revenue, 22 to 25 hours a week back
Burnt out to breakthrough
Cash flow up 480%
Abe Godsell
100+ improvements without him there
What actually happens on the call
45 minutes, three parts, zero pitch theatre. You will know exactly where you stand by the end of it.
Where you actually are
We go through your numbers, your hours and your team honestly. No judgement, but no polishing either. Most owners find the real constraint is not the one they came in with.
First 15 minutes
The gap and the bottleneck
We name the single thing costing you the most time or margin right now, and why it has not moved on its own. This is where the whiteboard comes out.
Next 20 minutes
Your next three moves
You leave with three specific actions you can start this week, whether you ever work with PBA or not. If we are a fit we will say so. If we are not, we will tell you that too.
Last 10 minutes
The questions we get on every call
Everything You're Wondering, Answered.
The six things owners raise most before we speak. Answered straight.
"Is my business too small for this?"
If you have staff, customers and a business that stops when you stop, you are the right size. We have worked with solo trade operators and with owners running eight-figure floors. The systems are the same, the scale is not.
"I'm too busy right now, can I start later?"
Being too busy is the symptom we fix. If you wait until things calm down, you will make this call in another two years with the same problem and two more years of hours gone. Come as you are.
"Is this just another motivational course?"
No. This was built on a real factory floor, the Lean Cave, across 23+ years of running actual businesses. You get frameworks, systems and accountability, not a highlight reel and a hoodie.
"Will this work in my industry?"
It already has, across manufacturing, trades, service, retail and professional firms in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada. Margin, hours, sales and team performance do not care what you sell.
"Do I have to buy something on the call?"
No. The consultation is free and there is nothing to sign. You will get a straight assessment either way. If coaching is not the right move for you right now, we will say so.
"What if I need to move my time?"
Use the reschedule link in your confirmation email. Just give us a heads-up rather than no-showing, the slot goes to another owner who needs it.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what owners ask us most before they apply.
How long is the program?
It depends which one you join. We run a 12-week rapid reset, plus 6-month, 12-month and CEO-level programs. The Business Gym membership is month to month.
We will match the length to where your business actually is on your strategy session, rather than pushing you into the longest option.
Is my business too small, or too big, for this?
Most members join between $500,000 and $5 million a year. We also coach established businesses from $5 million to more than $100 million.
The system stays the same. The focus adjusts based on where you are.
Will this work in my industry?
It already has, across manufacturing, trades, service, retail and professional firms, in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada.
Margin, hours, sales and team performance do not care what you sell.
How much time does this take each week?
Plan on one to two hours a week, plus the implementation itself.
Most of it stacks on top of things you are already doing. This is not extra work bolted onto your week, it is doing the work you already do in a way that compounds.
I am flat out right now. Should I wait?
Being flat out is the symptom we fix. There is no perfect time.
If you wait until things calm down on their own, you will be having this same conversation in two years with two more years of hours gone.
What support do I actually get?
Depending on your program and tier:
- Live coaching sessions and Q&A
- 100+ short, high-impact video trainings in the classroom
- The VAULT: the tools, templates and resources you need to implement
- A 24/7 community of owners for wins, questions and commitments
- Direct accountability, so what you commit to actually gets done
You are not left guessing or on your own.
I am not tech savvy. Is that a problem?
No. This is practical, common-sense improvement work, not software engineering. If you can run a business, you can handle this.
Where we use AI and automation, we walk you through exactly what matters and skip the rest.
How quickly will I see results?
That depends entirely on how quickly and how diligently you implement. Information doesn't create results. Implementation does.
Owners have reported wins inside the first few weeks. The focus is long-term stability and compounding gains, not an overnight spike.
What does it cost?
Programs start from US$550 per month and increase depending on the level of coaching and support that is right for your business.
If you are looking for the cheapest option, we are probably not the right fit. If you are looking for proven coaching, proven systems, real accountability and measurable results, we would love to review your application.
Is this just theory from someone who has never run a business?
No. Everything we teach has been proven in the real world across 23+ years of building multimillion-dollar companies, on real factory floors, not in a seminar room.
Our clients have driven more than 43,000 business improvements in nine years.
Do you accept everyone who applies?
No. Every application is personally reviewed, and we deliberately limit the number of new businesses we accept so every client gets the level of coaching and support we are known for.
We are far more interested in working with the right business owners than simply working with more business owners.
What is the next step?
Complete an application. If we believe we are the right fit for each other, one of our Business Growth Advisors will contact you to arrange a complimentary Business Growth Strategy Session.
Together we will identify your biggest opportunities, uncover what is holding your business back, and determine whether PBA is the right fit for you.
