Book of the Month
Every Bastard Says No is the rollicking tale of how Geoff Ross, his wife Justine, and their business partners and loyal staff risked all and worked their butts off to do what New Zealanders so dream of doing but so rarely manage: build a brand that makes the world sit up and take notice. It's an inspirational business story that will appeal to entrepreneurs, business students, creatives, and everyone who loves a brave - and ultimately successful - Kiwi start-up. 'This book will bamboozle those who look for neat classifications. Is it a business book? A biography? Or a beverage bible? I don't know - and it doesn't matter. It works.It's brilliant! Like 42 Below. ' Mark Weldon, CEO New Zealand Stock Exchange

TANIA PSATHAS - THE GAY GUYS COACH
I was extremely fortunate to have a coaching conversation with Mark Skelly recently and was highly impressed with the value he added, so naturally and authentically, to my new business. He's very easy to relate to, extremely honest and open, has a great sense of humour but also a wealth of experience and knowledge in taking business to the next level. He was very generous with his contacts and action was taken right then and there! If you haven't worked with Red Hot yet, don't waste any more time. If you're serious about taking your business forward, do not hesitate, contact them now.

NGAIRE MANSFIELD - STRAIGHT FLUSH PLUMBING
We engaged Steve Hockley for business coaching during our first year in business. We found it a great help to have him to call on to keep us on the path to success – sticking to task and offering advice and expertise from his own experiences and specialist areas. His mentoring gave us confidence to stop sweating the small stuff and get on with developing a great business. We are now in our third year of business and are grateful to have had made a solid start with Steve’s assistance.

GRANT FOGGO - HUTT VALLEY PERSONNEL
Red Hot helped me to Believe and act like I had already achieved my desired outcome, I couldn’t put what that means to me into words it’s too much. I would recommend Red Hot to anyone without reservation. 100% of my business growth over the past year is a tribute to Red Hot Business Coaching. When asked if there was anything that could be improved about the programme I couldn’t think of a single thing and wouldn’t change anything.

TONY QUICKFALL - VIASTRADA NELSON
I’ve found Darren’s honest and open feedback valuable, first as a sole operator and then working through my business merger. Being independent and objective, bouncing ideas off Darren and having him throw in new ones has been a direct benefit.

HAYDN JOHNSON - LIFESTYLE ACCOUNTING
Six months ago we had less clients, we were very busy though in fact it was verging on chaos, it was very difficult for me to get things organised and get a smooth work flow. Well yes I realised something had to change so I had a look at a few different business coaching companies that are available and identified quickly that Darren Ward from Red Hot was likely to be the one that would help me the most so I went and had a chat with Darren...

PHIL LASH - CHOCOLATE VELVET
Unbelievable, Unbelievable from where we were to where we are now, We've come from a business really in a bit of a spiral to now a successfull business. We are now employing 8 staff and I'm now off the tools and working in with Darren working on the business and expecting it to fly even quicker in the next 12 months. We were very frustrated in the actions of what was happening around us and didn't really have alot of resource to rely on, so we opened the phone book and rung Darren from Red Hot...

KIM ROGERS - AGTRONIC ALERTS
What we liked most about the MasterMind programme is meeting people in the same situation as us, and having an external source of back up and support to help us get through sticky situations. We invested in the MasterMind programme because we were recommended by Jo Reddin of Reddin Associates. Our business was in a flat period and we wanted to take it to the next level. When making our decision to work with Red Hot the money factor was huge for us, putting ourselves out there was a major gamble as we know some risks just don’t work out. We were hoping this wasn’t going to be one of those risks and we were right. We would definitely recommend the programme.

DAVID MILLER - MILLER ASSOCIATES
I have used Steve Hockley as a business coach since July 2007. For the 1st 12 months I was part of the Mastermind board process developed by Red Hot Business Coaching (Red Hot).
Over the past 12 months, I have worked with Steve with him being a business coach and mentor, allowing me to suggest strategies, ideas and plans for our business and have Steve look at these from an independent, professional viewpoint.
I have always found Steve to be completely supportive, honest and prepared to challenge ideas that I have suggested. He has been one of the major contributors to our rapid growth in fee income over the last 24 months.
I would thoroughly recommend Steve to any business owner who wants their business to grow and become more profitable.

MAREE BURNETT - PROMO SAFETY NELSON
Being new in the world of self-employment, I have times of self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. I have met with Darren Ward on several occasions and each time I have left with a completely revitalized sense of direction. Sharing his vast knowledge and skills seems effortless and comes across in a very honest, realistic, down-to-earth way. Darren has given me tools and methods to stay focused on what’s REALLY important to ME - to keep moving forward, to congratulate myself often on what I’m doing well, to keep growing within myself and within my business. Darren’s guidance and support have been absolutely invaluable to me.

JIRI HAVLIK (GEORGE) MELTING PERFECTION CHOCOLATIER LIMITED SOON TO BE BOHEMEIN CHOCOLATIER
Steve Hockley has been a great support and coach. He keeps me focused and organized. He is well connected and aware of other businesses which I could benefit from and never even considered as an option. It is Great to have outsider to tell you that some thing are good and some are not which helps me to makes me and my business better in a long run. I made so much progress and improvement in the past 8 moths working with Steve that I would recommend to any person whom is ready to make some good in his/hers business.

KONRAAD & STEPH BURGISSER - COMPLETE ELECTRICAL
The value of the MasterMind Programme was Huge! It was invaluable. We can’t think of an adjective big enough!
Coaching has made a huge difference for our business. Strategically, we’re in a much better place in all regards. It made us step out of the business and look at it. We’ve taken back control.
Sales have increased as we’re more conscious of meeting client’s needs and what that means to the business. And we are now more productive and efficient with having putting processes in place. We’re now much clearer about our business. We’re more focussed. We got to the point where we thought it was all too hard. We didn’t have any goals & nothing to work towards. Working with Red Hot has given us a huge sense of purpose and direction. Red Hot helped us to make some very big decisions, and that was hard.
We would definitely recommend the MasterMind programme and Red Hot! The process has benefited us so much.

ROSEMARY WEIR - ASPIRING CYCLE WEAR
Over the course of last year, Darren Ward has been a tower of strength, offering wisdom and encouragement as I began the challenge of growing a small business.
After each visit I come away with new ideas and enthusiasm. Darren's experience and positive attitude have helped sustain and challenge me to find ways to promote my business. I would recommend Darren's Red Hot coaching to any business owner, no matter what the size of your business. His sound feedback and experience are invaluable. It's like having a friend who cares about your business as much as you do. Thanks Darren!

BILL SWAN - CARTRIDGE WORLD LOWER HUTT & WELLINGTON
The MasterMind programme brought direction, accountability and focus to my business. It caused me to look at the big picture. The value of this programme has been Immense!
I would absolutely recommend it!
If you feel you’re frustrated with where your business is at, you must talk to Red Hot Business Coaching because I was at that point. They forced me to think strategically and caused us to focus on the important issues rather than the nuisance issues. I would recommend this programme and Red Hot to anybody who wants to grow their business in a very strategic manner.

GABRIEL FERGUS - NEW ZEALAND DIVING & SALVAGE
The MasterMind programme has created better organisation in our business because the objectives focused us on what needed to be done. It made us address issues much quicker and more effectively than before – and that has a flow on effect.
Basically - we’re far more organised and effective. I would definitely recommend Red Hot!

SHIRLEY TRACY – SUNDIAL GROUP
Karl has a high level of business acumen. I have never experienced that in one person and have a lot of confidence in him
Using a business coach is something that I should’ve done a long time ago. The value from Red Hot has been immeasurable.
Red Hot is refreshingly different. Be prepared to be challenged. It’s not for the faint hearted.

DAVE GOODMAN - SURGE MEDIA
Red Hot’s commitment to their clients and their ability to back up what they say is unparalleled. They really understand the things they say.
There was huge benefit in having a reference group (Board) outside our business to compare notes and get non-biased feedback. Having a structure where we were regularly put on the spot to account for what we were doing and how we were doing it. With just one-on-one, you get one person’s take and one set of ideas. With the Board – you get a whole range of ideas and a breadth of knowledge to any one situation or question. I’ll miss the interaction with the other board members.
Overall an amazing experience and it opened our eyes wickedly to what was possible. It’s been invaluable – I can’t put a price on it (not yet anyway…when we sell SurgeMedia for millions we’ll know).

HELEN STUART - FPS
This is what I would say to people considering using Red Hot – 'Just do it! '. It’s really hard doing it on your own and it’s really good to have someone from the outside looking in & looking at things in a new way.”
Working with Red Hot was a fantastic opportunity to put my business on the right track and made a huge difference to my business.

VICTORIA ARMSTRONG - 'U'
If you’re considering working with Red Hot - make the call and don’t muck around. The longer you wait the more you’re missing out on.
I did have some scepticism at first. I thought: 'am I going to get 100% from these guys?' I knew that financially I’d get value from Mark, as he had a lot of experience to offer. I needn’t have worried - I can relate to Mark on an easy level, and he gave me his full attention which is really important. There’s huge value up front, they have sincerity that is authentic, and the streamlined support group portrays the same business ethics.
In working with Red Hot, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some smart and business savvy guys that have the knowledge to move business forward. It’s an investment that shouldn’t be overlooked.

IAN PRISK – BLACK COFFEE SOFTWARE
My experience with Red Hot Business Coaching was absolutely positive and I would recommend them to anyone considering using a business coach. Since starting the coaching we have a lot more contacts in the business world – in Wellington, New Zealand and overseas.
Red Hot Business Coaching provided huge value for me and my business. Red Hot are tremendous value for money.

PHIL CONROY - METRO PRODUCTIONS
Red Hot have changed the way we think about our business. They’ve made us look at it differently. Action plans are in place, there’s regular reporting – basically we’re upping the level. They’re not just a business coach. They fit into our organisation and talk a lot of sense. Mark has a pleasurable personality and is driven. He’s not like some other companies we’ve come across who seemed arrogant and rude.
If you’re considering working with Red Hot you’ll get practical business coaching and business advice from a company with robust systems and experience. The Return on investment has been significant in terms of providing a focused approach to implementing our vision. I would absolutely recommend and refer Red Hot and I have done so.

STEPHEN ARCHER - WELLNESS SOLUTIONS
Red Hot delivered more than I expected - some really eye-opening and creative future thinking along with an insightful analysis of my company's current situation. If you're ready to expand the vision of your preferred future, these are the people you need to talk to.

LEANNE BABCOCK - BABCOCK ASSOCIATES
I had been running my business on my own for 11 years. I wanted to expand and I wanted to know what my options were, how do I value the business I have currently and what strategies do I need to put in place to make all of this happen. ...Karl (From Red Hot) helped me see clearly what my options were and what I needed to do to put everything in place... I found working with him invaluable and couldn't recommend him more highly.
|
PAUL WINSTANLEY - THE ENGLISH CRAFTSMEN & EASY STRIP
We employed Red Hot to help us focus on the strategic development of our business. Karl quickly gained an in-depth understanding of our products, services and company vision. They were thorough, specific and the key recommendations put across in an encouraging and positive way. Red Hot has been great value.
|
VIVIANNA PANNEL - BASQUESSE
To my mind, Red Hot is an excellent business coaching company. The people that lead it certainly have ample business experience themselves and are very intelligent. They also seem to manage to pull people together that, despite being from different industries and backgrounds, are compatible and can learn from one another.
I would definitely recommend the programme. No business can run without planning, structure and prioritisation – and Red Hot can certainly offer awareness and focus on such important issues.

AUDREY SHEARER - SPIRAL WEB DESIGN
Just wanted to let you know we had our most profitable year since 2005 - if you were paid on results you would be a millionaire by now - Dated Sep 2009
The value of the MasterMind programme has been in how much more quickly it’s propelled me towards my goals. I definitely recommend the programme.
I’d say to you if you are considering working with Red Hot: You can’t afford not to be part of the programme because of the tremendous assistance both personally and to the business.
Red Hot brought structure to my business – in a good way. My business is now more stable and better able to operate without me. In fact I’ve now been able to take a trip overseas for 3 weeks and my business continued in my absence.
The biggest thing that says how pleased I am with the process is that I’m carrying on with Red Hot and joining another board.

MIKE PRICE - STORE IT
Red Hot forced me to look at what I was prioritising on a monthly basis and helped me to deliver on these. They helped me to focus.
It gave me the discipline of prioritising on a monthly basis & focusing on the most important things. That discipline and the one on one sessions were the biggest benefits for me. Disciplining myself to complete my objectives was quite personally challenging at times. The coaching has got me to put myself out of the day to day & being more strategic & more structured. I’ll miss the accountability of reporting on a monthly basis and the one-on-one sessions to bounce ideas off.
