I began working with Roland reviewing the high level goals and culture of my business. I felt like I knew roughly what I wanted to create as a business model but I couldn't articulate it clearly or define it in a way that could be implemented. Within a short period of working together I feel clear in what I want to achieve and am excited about the future possibilities.
Roland's enthusiasm and encouragement has changed my outlook,h given me confidence and allowed me to focus on the big picture, where before I was drifting between ideas. I couldn't have done this without his guidance.

His comprehensive and highly organised approach ensured that I achieved all my goals ! my revenue has improved, our marketing, culture, financial systems and my personal approach to business and even life has improved. I highly recommend Roland to any business small or big and have loved the journey Roland has taken me on.

We engaged Roland and New Perspectives Business Coaching to help us take our Family Business to the next level in 2016. We'd run the business for some years and it paid the bills and created happy customers and staff,but we felt stuck and overwhelmed as a couple and as business owners. We were both passionate about the business and believed there were wonderful opportunities ahead, but simply didn't know how to take advantage of them. Working with Roland for a year has put us in the right position. We have become clear on our roles and responsibilities in the business, feeling more confident and

Since meeting Roland, well, what can I say? My business and my life was totally transformed. I engaged Roland after feeling like I didn't know what I was 'doing'. I had a business, worked all day and all night but was finding I wasn't making the amount of money equal to the time I was putting in, and I didn't know whether I should just chuck it all in.
After some online research I watched some of his videos and had a feeling that maybe 'this guy' might be able to help me sort out what I wanted to do or at least make some sort of decision about the future of my career.

I have completed a 6 month course with Roland along with regular coaching sessions over the past 3 years. I have found the information Roland has trained me on has given me the core foundations that I need to build and grow my business to whatever size I like, so it is both profitable and fun for me.

Working with Roland has had a profound effect on me, my business and most importantly my profits.
Week in week out we tackled every aspect of my business. Roland supported my education, kept me accountable and kept me on track.
I have recommended other business owners to Roland, and will continue to do so.

I was too busy trying to deliver business to actually run and grow the business and decided a business coach might help. I really wanted someone with whom I felt a "values" based connection and I really felt that from the first conversation with Roland. The last year of working together has been transformative, challenging and yes, fun. Roland has been a great sounding board, an agent provocateur when needed and a calming voice of confidence when I have wavered. The business is now 5 people, we have a healthy pipeline, some great products under design and most of the systems to know if we are no

Roland has helped me get my Landscape design business off the ground. I have come from being overwhelmed with starting my business to planning well into the future for business growth. I can't thank Roland enough for the advice, knowledge and guidance he has given me to get things organised, running smoothly and growing!

I first met Roland though one of his Masterminds Classes, which I thoroughly enjoyed and took away some valuable information. I then got involved with the Business Growth Club which was a great learning, supportive and rewarding year. To be mentored by other business owners and a coach and to share my lessons and help others was very rewarding.
I then engaged Roland as a personal business coach to help me fine tune, tweak, redo, rethink, inspire, support, laugh, cry, build, develop, strengthen and polish an already successful business. After 10 years of business it was time to re-evaluate, learn
