- 240 working days per year.
That’s $100,000 in lost earning potential.

Meet the Biz Bloke. THE Lifestyle Business Architect in Balwyn, Melbourne, here to help you and your Aussie small business.
“I’m the Biz Bloke, and I work with professional services and health business owners who are tired of being the bottleneck in their own success. I help you take the reins back from a business that’s running you ragged. By solving the underlying mess in your operations, we shift the needle on your three most important metrics: your take-home profit, your energy levels, and your time off.
And as we build, you’ll become the Architect of your own business – instead of an owner of a high-pressure job that you can’t let go of.
Most professional services and health-business owners haven’t built a business; they’ve built a high-pressure job that they happen to own. As THE Lifestyle Business Architect, I help you redesign the structural foundations of your professional services firm. We strip away the parts that are holding your business back, and encourage systems that drive profit and autonomy without you constantly ‘at the helm’. The goal isn’t just a better business—it’s a business that finally gives you your life back to spend with your family.
After all, when you started your small business, did you dream of success and free time with your family and friends, or did you dream of hours of drudging through admin? If you’re ready to stop ‘the grind’ and start enjoying your business ownership, then we’re ready to talk.
And the best part? Using a business coach also makes simple economic sense – because the return on investment is usually there.“
‘No more: maybe later, maybe never‘

Does Your Physio or Professional Business Need Coaching?
Chances are that your professional services business or allied health business is not ticking all of the boxes that you originally set out:
Does your health business or professional services business:
- Give you the freedom to take 4 weeks off in a row, without answering the phone?
- Give you the financial reward commensurate with the amount of work you put in?
- Have systems that make your business and your life easy?
- Genuinely reflect your level of expertise?
- Tell your story and life achievements, and elevate you as someone special in your community?
- Achieve your original goals from when you started your business?
How many points out of six are you at now? If it’s any less than 4, then you have so much room for growth.
What does business coaching from Biz Bloke Melbourne, THE lifestyle business Architect look like?
We’ll go deep and find your goals. You don’t need to impress your business coach, and that means we can lay your business bare and really see what’s under the hood.
We’ll do a time audit and find out where you time is actually going. We’ll build baselines to determine where you’re at now, and why that’s not where you need to be. We’ll find the leaks.
We’ll look at your financials – your profit and loss statements, your sales reports, your marketing expense reports, your balance sheet, and your cashflow statements. We’ll analyse together as a team – coach and business owner – and together we’ll start locking down your profit leaks.
We’ll audit your systems and find where you time is being wasted. There’s a myriad of wonderful ways to automate and reduce dependence on the business owner. We’ll work with you and improve your trajectory, to give you time.
We’ll assess your lead intake strategies and determine ways to streamline the efforts, so that you can stop being stuck in the work. This can save you energy.
And lastly, we’ll keep you accountable to your work-life balance and make sure you’re taking the time off you need for your mental health. This can give your life back.
Your business is all about you.
Why waste months and years stressing about your professional services business, when you can simply reach out for help and move past the pain?
The first step is the hardest, because there’s no one in your corner yet. But once you reach out, the process of improvement begins.
50% of small businesses WILL FAIL within the first 3 years of operation.
According the Australian bureau of statistics, Sadly, 50% WILL fail within 3 years, with 20% failing in the first.
And the stats don’t improve much after that either. But that doesn’t have to be you. Business is an uphill battle – and best done with support.
When you reach out for help, you maximize your chances of business success. When you go alone… …You’ll be alone!
When you start your business, every decision counts, and you’re overwhelmed with things to do! Take the help from an experience Business Coach and You’ll love yourself for it!
Learn How I left a Business on autopilot for 9 months… and how it survived without me (20 mins).
Business Systems are the key to survival. If your business has strong systems – it won’t need you to be IN the business any more. And that means that you can spend all of your time ON the business, working where it matters: Leadership, Vision, and Growth.

There is no strict revenue requirement to be eligible for coaching. However, you business will need to be able to grow in order for the coaching to pay for itself.

Having been a former Allied-health CEO and an award-winning Architect, Andy specializes in professional services fields.

You’ll be a good fit if you’re similar to:

- And other highly trained service professionals.
If you need HR, you go to an HR professional. Easy. If you need IT? That’s clear too.
But these are just small issues in a business. Most business issues are ambiguous, hard to detect, and have multiple answers. Or worse: you can’t even see the problem yet.
Biz Bloke is your guide through the ambiguity. I don’t rush to solve your problem with an AI tool. I guide you through whether we should even be solving this problem at all.
A good business coach focuses on actionable data, and has a bigger picture than any one focused-consultant. We’re not afraid to drive to the core of the issues – and often that takes a form that no other consultant can see (eg. your service product usually has room for improvement).
Most importantly, as a profit and time-focused professional, business coaches aim to create a return on investment for their clients, which is the most important justification for any consultant.
Business coaching continues for as long as the value is there.
This is usually once per week for several years, or the entire life-span of the business. Changes often take months to fully demonstrate their value, so these are long-term projects.
If you’re open to growth and make changes in your business, usually the cost of the business coach will be overshadowed by the benefits of the coaching, and so it’s a sustainable process.
If your goals change, then the coaching may change or end.
Each week is comprised of one 1-hour session, but the value of the sessions extends beyond this session.
- Biz Bloke needs to do several hours of preparation to create meaningful actions.
- You need to also do your own preparation, based off actionable decisions we make together.
- Some weeks will be heavier than others, and some will be lighter. It’s a ‘swings and roundabouts’ approach.
All committed business coaching clients also get reasonable text access throughout the week to ensure everything stays on track.
Coaching frequency is set based on your business needs and our assessment of your goals.
Most businesses find once per week is the perfect amount of action and vision, without becoming overwhelming.
- Smaller businesses in the start up phase may need even more frequent assistance to power through the setup efficiently.
- Small businesses who are set up but not fully scaled up may find that fortnightly is the right cadence for their business stage.
- Larger businesses may need more frequent sessions with more than one stakeholder.
Yes and No.
You don’t need to be successful… YET. But you do need a vision and the ability to become successful by committing to change through the business coaching process.
Successful businesses will find coaching equally as useful and businesses who have not yet found their true success.
