Testimonials

“We began our search for a good business coach after our new business started to stall and lose direction. We were becoming frustrated with our lack of sales progress and margins which were being squeezed to say the least. After deciding to find a good business advisor, we ended-up paying a lot of money to a big, Australia-wide coaching company that looked the part and used very expensive looking documents. Unfortunately, all the money that we spent didn’t result in much business improvement with an overly-theoretical approach taken with little in the way of real-world experience to back it up. So, we decided to go back to struggling away on our own again.

By chance a few months later, we saw a sign-written Brick Pig Coaching vehicle in our customer car-park and got chatting with the driver about Owen and his approach to business. We decided to give it a second try so gave Brick Pig Coaching a call and arranged a meeting with Owen. It didn’t take long to realise that Owen had extensive experience earned through starting and building his own successful businesses and really “got” the realities of establishing a successful, modern business.

It didn’t take long for our business to get back on track and start making money that we had never enjoyed previously. Some things that Owen changed seemed simple yet we had not seen them like creating a separate, retail shop area filled with our products. Other things such as pricing and marketing took more work but resulted in much larger margins so that we didn’t have to struggle to pay our bills every month like before. Owen kept us accountable and pushed us along when needed but always with and understanding of what was reasonable given our work and family commitments.

We can’t imagine not having Owen as our business coach/advisor and he has paid for himself many times over in the short time that we have had him on-board. The regular contact and support we receive from Owen is outstanding and the depth of his knowledge and experience is invaluable to us as we strive to grow our business. Thank you to Owen and Brick Pig Coaching for enabling us to confidently build a rapidly growing yet sustainable business and actually enjoy the journey.”Jason Nethercott - Owner of Talking Hens

“Well what can I say, Owen has changed the way I view business, from being a job to being a profit making machine. Owen has given us the tools we need to succeed. His many years of business experience has equipped and encouraged us to go further than we ever thought we would be able to and given us the vision to always be growing. We highly recommend working with Owen, his knowledge and experience is invaluable. Thanks Brick Pig!”Ben Arendt, Cornerstone Paving

“When I first began working with Owen, Owen identified key ingredients to further commercialising the concept of my business. He brought clarity to my vision, recognising and further expanding this vision with commercial sensibility. He is an incredible mentor with a wealth of knowledge and experience, who brings invaluable structure, together with personality and professionalism. I would recommend Owen to any business or company at all levels of operational development. His advice and knowledge is outstanding.”Kelly Hoskin, Performance Mindset Coach & Consultant

“We needed an individual who was not only able to work within our business structure but someone who was also able to speak with our builders and customers from their perspective. Owen has a unique ability to engage, think strategically and road map an action plan that is achievable and has impact. His work and strategy for recruitment of builders for the Independent Builders Network has been so successful it is being rolled out as the national standard for our team. I highly recommend using Owen for his expertise and the results he achieves.”Kevin Renwick, OAM, Independent Builders Network

“From the first time we met, Owen challenged me to think bigger than my current business perspective and opened my eyes to see things that I could never see alone. He has helped me develop the skills needed to grow from being a sole trader to a business model running numerous teams in 6 months. He has helped me overcome obstacles to keep me pursuing my goals. Owen is a great coach, whether it’s business practice or personal mentoring I owe much of my success to the one-on-one sessions with him.”Hayden T. Tradesman

“I have been in business for a long time and have a successful, well established multi-national company. Owen has been able to come in with fresh eyes and has helped me to identify changes to systems and processes that simply eliminate pressure points. In a nutshell, Owen has been able to put in place the people and the processes to take the pressure off.

Owen provides trustworthy, valued advice and views things with the eyes of a professional consultant. Owen also has the ability to work beside me and my team helping us to identify issues before they become a problem.

Owen is action driven and I am continuing to see great results both personally and in my business. I trust Owen. He works closely with me and my team in a very positive way and while he is not quite as funny as he thinks he is, that’s ok by me. He’s also my third favourite redhead next to Pauline Hanson and Ronald McDonald so he’s not too bad at all.”Ian W., Remote Kin
