Strategic Growth for Small and Medium Enterprises
Kirby Hoare, Business Coach
Hi, Its great to have you here!
I'm guessing you landed here because you feel stuck in some way.
Or perhaps you feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed by your day-to-day operations, or lacking lustre or direction for your business. Running a business can be tough, not to mention lonely. That is exactly where a business coach enters the picture.
I specialise in helping service-based businesses thrive. Service industries rely heavily on relationships, time management, and reputation. I understand the pressure of generating leads, selling and sustainably scaling operations. While my specialty is in service-based businesses, I help start-ups as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across all stages of growth.
Owning a business can be exciting, exhausting, exhilarating, and scary all at the same time, and I love it!
As a business coach, I am passionate about helping business owners find their marketable niche, create systems that work, minimise noise and generate a profit that is worth it.
Examples of service-based businesses I work with include Trades, Franchisee's, Home Services, National Disability Insurance Agency Providers, Consultants, Health and Wellness Practitioners, and Other Professional Services.
I have over 15 years experience as a business owner.
My background is in service-based industries.
In my earlier days, I made many mistakes and learnt the hard way, I love helping business owners avoid those exact pitfalls.
Beyond running my own businesses, I have extensive experience with:

My Expertise
Strategic Business Planning
Having a business plan is the foundational roadmap for any successful venture. It translates abstract ideas into a structured frameworks, minimising risks and maximising growth potential.
Branding and Marketing
Having the right business branding and marketing strategy establishes your market identity and drives sustainable revenue. While branding defines who you are, marketing dictates how you reach customers. Together, they form the engine that accelerates business growth and prevents wasted operational capital.
Lead Generation
A sustainable lead generation system is the lifeblood of business longevity. It replaces erratic, unpredictable sales cycles with a predictable revenue engine, ensuring your business thrives rather than just survives
