Clear, practical, experience-based advice to get your business moving for the long term.

Are you just starting your business and want to give it the best chance?

Do you want to grow your business into something you can be proud of?

Do you want to sell your business and move on to the next stage?

When you run your own business it’s exciting, isn’t it? It’s full of possibility.

You’re making a difference in the world, and you’re in control. But it’s not always that simple. It can be scary, confusing and a bit of a struggle. You set goals you can’t always meet, and the passion slips. You get stuck and don’t know where to go.

The bank or creditors start giving you grief. You start to lose interest, and your business suffers.  But you didn’t start a business to lose interest in it.

You have ambition, are dynamic, and know you’re going places. You’re very good at what you do and passionate about it. You’re looking to build a sustainable business that is rewarding and fun to work in—one that works for you, your staff and your customers. 

But it’s confusing because you’re not sure how to get there. You set goals and have trouble reaching them. You work all the time, but you have the impression that you’re just busy and not getting things done.

Tim Gardner's signature.

Kim Lock, Finance Manager, JTL Retail

Kim Lock, recommends Elevate Business Performance.

It’s not often you find someone with such a great analytical eye and strategic management skills. I had the privilege of working for Tim for over 3 years. Tim is not only a great leader but also a fantastic mentor. His ability to engage with his team and drive the business forward in such a professional manner proved invaluable in my own career. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim for not only his commercial and financial attributes but as a successful leader.

Vicki Boyce, HR Manager

Vicki Boyce, recommends Elevate Business Performance.

I had the pleasure of working for Tim at WebberBus for nearly three years. I found Tim to be an extremely fair Manager, and very knowledgeable within his field. Through Tim’s time as Managing Director of the business, we faced some extremely challenging times, and Tim always managed these situations with true professionalism ensuring his team were fully briefed at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tim for a role utilising his many years of experience as a Managing Director.

Tim projects a relaxed approach on screen which helped to enable free-flowing conversation. It was very obvious that he’s listening to me, making pertinent points without interrupting my flow.

Laura (Butler) Proctor – CMO

I am feeling more valued and confident in this role already. We discussed how I could get the team onside and I have used some of Tim’s questioning techniques to address some potential early issues. It was a good chance to reflect on what happened and what I could do differently in the next company.
