"Evan Rubenstein truly walks-the-talk and has helped our business produce results that frankly, we didn't think we were capable of achieving. During the course of our coaching, our team of 10 has grown to 40 with offices in Melbourne, Sydney and London. Our revenue has grown by 310% and profit has increased by 185%. The exciting thing is; it feels like we are just getting started. Evan has helped us lay a foundation that will allow us to double our profit again within the next 2-3 years."
Tim Fouhy, Reactive Media
“We've been working with Evan since 2002 and he has played a huge part in assisting us in our operations and growth. We've expanded our team from 3 to 15, multiplied our revenue five fold and have a large growth agenda that Evan has played an important part in putting together. Evan always has an answer to the specific challenges we face in our business and can guide us in the right direction - often realising we have issues even before we do. Evan is a valuable part of our management team.”
Heath Kilgour & Nathan Isterling, Extracorp
My evolution from a sole trader who “just fell into” my business to being a company owner with 10 employees has been led by my journey with Evan as my business coach…..Evan showed me how to systemise my recruitment (which alone has saved me thousands of dollars), training, our service, our reporting, my financials, our marketing, our IT – every aspect of my business. What this means is that much of what I used to do can now be delegated, while at the same time, enabling me to have my finger on the pulse of every aspect of the business to determine the success of key performance areas….. after 2 years, my reward is a 374% increase in my net profit, and a 76% increase in my revenue. My team has also doubled in size in the last 12 months.
Having someone to be accountable to keeps me focussed on the important, strategic aspects of my business so that it continues to move forward…. I’m transferring Evan’s approach with my own team as a leader. I will continue to work with Evan, as I continue to set goals for myself to achieve, and know that Harvest is just the starting point for me in my personal growth journey. Thank you Evan.
Ingrid Maynard, Harvest Management
Working with Evan has enabled our business to grow at an accelerated pace. The process of setting goals and developing a plan to achieve them and then seeing it through, has left me extremely pleased with the rapid progress we have made.No matter how busy I have been,
Evan has held me accountable to my goals and kept me focused, which has ensured that I have invested the required time working on my business required to produce the results. Rather than learning by trial and error, Evan has ensured that I have invested time on learning what I need to learn, when I need to learn it. This knowledge has been of significant value to my development.
It is quite clear when working with Evan, that he has considerable business experience. Having someone such as Evan whose knowledge base you can tap into, and to exchange ideas with, is very valuable and rewarding.
Tino Filippelli, Lberty Builders
I had been in my own business for over ten years with nine employees. I was resigned to the fact that I needed to be involved in all the day-to-day aspects of the business. This required me to work 60-70 hours per week and although I was earning a reasonable living, there was minimal profit and growth.
At the start of coaching I set a goal of $500,000 in profit within 5 years. After just a few months of coaching with Evan, I was astonished at how the business was progressing without my daily input. After some training and restructuring, my staff became a team and I became a leader.
At the end of the financial year following the start of coaching, the business's profit had grown about 400% and my personal income had doubled. I had reached my 5-year goal within 18 months of the start of coaching! I was much more relaxed and working far fewer hours. A bout of pneumonia, which saw me off work for about two months, finally proved to me that I was no longer needed in the business! Something that was beyond my wildest dreams before I started coaching.
I look back and cannot believe that I was concerned that I could not afford the monthly coaching fee. The return on my investment in the coaching program was over 2500% within a year. Considering that I will continue to capitalize on this investment for many years to come, I cannot think of anything I could have invested in that would have had a better result or higher return!"
Paul Cowan, Cowan Air
"One day I received a letter from a business coach offering to help me develop my business. I had seen this type of thing before so I did nothing about it. When Evan Rubenstein rang me up a few days later, I could hear that he knew what he was talking about and so I agreed to see him. That meeting started me and my furniture manufacturing business on an incredible journey!
My goal for the business was to grow it by 30% percent per year for the next 5 years. By the 9th month of coaching sales were up 250%; a lot quicker than we had anticipated! Further growth was limited simply by lack of manufacturing capacity.
Our team has grown from 15 to over 25 and we have moved from our 8,200 square foot factory into a new 22,000 square foot facility. All this has all happened while there has been a big downturn in the local furniture industry!
Having a coach has helped me to learn a huge amount about how to run my business more effectively. The coaching sessions are interesting and very motivational. I have learned how to think like a businessman and am now focused on building the business rather than simply building furniture.
Getting Evan as my business coach has been a dramatic turning point for the business. and has been one of the best decisions and investments I ever made for my business and for myself."
Paul Cutting, Heritage Furniture Pty Ltd
"Having worked together with you, we have seen some great changes in specific areas. With a specific strategy in one of our markets we were able to increase sales by 150%. We have a clearer focus on what the business requires from us as owners and managers as well as where we want the business to be and be able to provide us with.
We have also been able to create a marvellous team atmosphere where our staff value and enjoy working together with us. Staff satisfaction is very important to us and we have achieved a high level. We are also better equipped on how to promote our business and advertise more effectively. We have also instituted a great recruitment process, which all participants have enjoyed thoroughly."
Simon Weinstein, Perfect Blinds Australia
"When we first spoke, I relayed to you the perceived difficulties in systemising the business. Months later, after following your instructions, we now have a business that I believe if I chose to, I could cut my hours in half.
Further to this, your marketing ideas that I did not agree with have worked exceptionally brilliantly...."
Alan Nankin, Mortgage Masters
"At all times Evan showed great business knowledge, he taught me things in areas that were not apparent, and that are not taught in universities. If you are contemplating the services of Evan in the future I would like to highly recommend him."
Chad Warden, Barry Plant Doherty Real Estate
