Cornerstone Business Solutions benefits from creating business systems

David Warne, founded Cornerstone Business Solutions in 2015. Once beginning coaching, David expected his business to go onwards and upwards straight away but instead along with the help of his Coach they took a step back and rebuilt the foundations, rebuilt his message, got clear on how they differ from everyone else, and set some major goals. David says that everything changed after that process. They now have sales processes and marketing processes in place as well as a more structured approach for his staff and sees changes in the way he manages.

David’s next plans within the business are for him to move out of a sales position, to free up more time to grow himself from being a small-medium business owner to a great CEO that can really make a big difference. He has big plans to expand his office space and employ more staff.

Think Training achieves a whopping 647% increase in profit

“I want to let you know how much I appreciate all you have done for me over the past year. Being part of your coaching program has been a great support and given me the tools I needed to make real changes in my business. It was great to network with other business owners who have the same concerns and issues. Also regular coaching and workshops means if you don’t get it the first time you can keep going until you do get it!

This financial quarter my business turned over 120k more than the same quarter last year with a 171% increase. The gross profit for the quarter was up 93k with a 223% increase! Net profits for the quarter were up 77k with a 647% increase!

Our sales went from 50k every quarter to 50k every month for 7 months in a row.I would have achieved these results much quicker if I had just listened to you more and implemented faster.The best part of it all was not the money but the personal growth, I am now more confident and feel like I run my business instead of it running me.

Thanks for everything, I could not have done it without you and the team…”

Australian Waste Management have a massive breakthrough

“David has taken business coaching to an entirely new level. Out of the box innovation and ideas, simple “why didn’t i think of that” ideas and methods that just work.

David keeps you focused on whats important and remaining above the line. At first it’s hard to realize and understand the methodology, but over time it becomes more apparent. The reticular activating system and you get what you deserve are two of my favorite’s from his arsenal.Working with David has been an enlightening experience and he has changed my life unmistakably. I am now so driven to learn and understand as much as possible and apply the knowledge and experience of some very wise people to improving my life and the lives of those around me.

Its hard not to preach about the things David has shared with me. Kaizen, Test and Measure, To know and not to do is to not know, The only failure is the failure to participate, Mistakes are lessons not mistakes if you learn something from them, Dreams are just goals without plans, You are only limited by what you believe is possible… I could go on forever…Thanks David, you have changed my life!”

Adapt Essential Services owner gets his life back

Through coaching I learnt about the group interview process which has reduced recruitment of any team member to 4 hours.

Showing me that there is more opportunity without having to work harder made me realise that the one thing that was really missing was my ability to run the business without actually being there.

I am spending more time with my wife & kids. Now business is much more fun and much less work.

Thanks again,
