Testimonials We would like to express our appreciation and gratitude to you for the work that you have done for us in your role as mentor for our business Collins Bishop. As a small business we have struggled in the past to find the time and indeed the know how to put in place procedures and strategies in our work environment that help us to move forward as a business. Your expertise and guidance have been invaluable in doing this and helping us to take a step forward and grow as a business. Not only this, your advice in relation to dealing with and retaining valuable staff has been fantastic. You have also helped us to gain a sense of control over our future, in particular by helping us to forecast and gain a true picture of the costs, budgeting and profitability of the business. You have truly been an invaluable source of support and knowledge. It is a testament to your own experience in business and we really do appreciate that you have been able to pass this expertise on to us. Because of you, we are now more focused on important issues within the business where as in the past it was easy to get bogged down in the daily grind and not look to the future. Thanks again from the management and staff at Collins Bishop. Brett Wadelton, Director, Collins Bishop Mortgage Specialist, please feel free to contact me on 5944 4569. November 2007 We have been working with Paul for some months now and I have to say we have been incredibly impressed. We have never been more confident about how our business is operating . Also, we are finally understanding the dollars and cents of our business and probably for the first time since we opened a strong feeling of being in control. We have already strongly recommended Paul to other friends that are self employed and have no hesitation in recommending him to you. Michael Sloan, Branch Manager, Destiny Financial Solutions - Fitzroy, please feel free to contact me on 9488 2288. November 2007 A huge thankyou goes to The Business Train. I purchased a coffee shop business that basically just did coffee and a few home made cakes etc. I had a vision of what I wanted to do, but didn't know how to put that into practice. Through my sessions with The Business Train, I turned my small coffee shop into a thriving business that does full on lunches and my business has grown two-fold. I can't thankyou enough and know without your mentoring I may still be serving the odd cup of coffee to passing traffic. Thanks again TBT. Nicola Campbell January 2006 First and for most I want to say thank you for all your hard work and dedication you put into helping me prepare to change my career path.  Thanks to your program I received,  I now wake up each morning and can't wait to go to work.  You showed me how to believe in myself and push forward.  Just so you know I have already advanced in my position with only being with the company for three months.  I will continue to excel in all positions that I take on in the business.  I will always take that extra step now.  Once again I want to say thanks for everything and helping me make the biggest decision of my life.  I have referred The Business Trains to many people and businesses. Sincerely,  Tracey Miller November 2006 "Thank you TBT for your time and patience with us.  Your use of the perception is nine tenths of the law is amazing and so true.  You have given us the confidence we were looking for, now that we are past our fears of meeting new people each day.  Your ability to empower us and develop our own business management skill set, has enabled us to operate our own family business.  We never knew we could have been so confident in our business, which is now a very successful business, with bookings four months in advance and we look forward to your next visit.  Once again thank you, we truly believe you made a difference."
