Why this day
More month at the end of the money?
You're not lazy. You're not bad at what you do. You're just doing all of it — the quoting, the chasing, the fixing, the wages, the 2am worry.
Here's the truth most owners learn the hard way: busy isn't the same as profitable. Trading your hours for money has a ceiling — and you've probably hit it.
This day is where you step off that treadmill. One focused Saturday to swap the chaos for a clear, simple system — so the business finally works for you, not the other way around.
What you'll walk out with
Six things that change how your business runs
No fluff. No motivational hot air. Practical, useable, and built around the L.E.A.D.E.R. framework.

How the day works
One focused Saturday — built to be doable
Who it's for
- Owners of small businesses — trades, services, retail, hospitality, all welcome
- Anyone working too many hours for what they take home
- People who want a clear, practical plan — not more theory
It is not a 3-day executive retreat. It's one practical day in a deliberately small room — so everyone gets real attention and leaves with a real plan.

Business Mentor & Leadership Speaker
Who's leading it
Led by someone who has lived it
Before NZ Growth Coach, Pete served in the New Zealand Army and Police. He and his wife Janelle drove 67,080km from the UK to New Zealand across 53 countries — including 70 hours detained by Iranian secret police.
None of it, he'll tell you, was as relentless as the early years of running a business. That's exactly the trap he now helps owners climb out of — with simple strategies for serious business owners who want solid results.
Imagine
A business that runs without you holding every piece
You take a fortnight off. Phone stays in your pocket. You come back and the business has run — jobs done, customers happy, money in. That's where one Saturday can start.
