Did you know that 80% of people in business have had little or no training in running a business? The majority end up going out of business in the first 5 years and most of the ones that make it end up working harder and longer trying to stay on top of things. At Business Success Educators, we believe you shouldn’t have to figure out how to build and run a business all by yourself… and we know how hard business can be when you don’t have the right tools or support. That’s why we designed the Business Freedom Program™. The program is based on the 9 core areas of small business success that form the foundation of a successful business. Learn more about each core area below:
When you get these 9 areas right in your business, then you are well on your way to the business success you imagined when you started your business.. and when your business is thriving, then your home life is thriving and this has a positive impact on your community.

Often in a small business nothing is documented. The systems are all in people’s heads. This means that things end up being done inconsistently. Different people end up doing it different ways… which is not good for your customer, not good for your business and not good for you. Or
Would you like to improve the effectiveness of your marketing? You see, when most people work on their marketing they focus on the strategy. i.e. How they’re going to do it. I’m going to run some ads. I’ll drop off some flyers. I’m going to advertise on Facebook or whatever
Many people when they start their business fall into the trap of taking on any type of work. It’s the old ‘no job too big, no job too small’. This leads to taking on whatever job will ‘pay the bills’. The problem with this is not all work is created
It is important to set goals when you first start your business. Here’s why… When people first start a business they generally just get started. They go ‘I’m tired working hard for someone else’. ‘I’m going to go out on my own and reap the benefits of being my own

We went from $12K profit last year to over $270K this year — but more than that, we’re finally working together, with less stress and more time for family.
We were struggling financially. That’s now changed with turnover up 19% in the last 6 months and we are averaging 16% net profit every month.
Revenue is up 11 times. I have gone from working 50 hours a week down to 30…plus I can now take a month off from my business.
I was able to make real changes – fast. I cut my workload by 15-20 hours a week, grew from 2 to 4 plumbers, and tripled my turnover within 8 months.
Turnover went grew $30K to $500K/mth and I went from 80 hour weeks down to 20. I can go away knowing my team will do the right thing
My working week went from 70-75 to 45 and not working weekends. For the first time as a business owner I have work/life balance.
I’m less stressed and the guys get a lot more of my time into how things work. I have freed up 4 hours a day and enjoy much more family time.
I’m enjoying life much more. Sales have grown by 30% and profits are up 60% this year following a similar result last year. Plus more time for hobbies.
We have grown from 6 to 9 staff. Revenue is up 30% and we have made as much profit in the first 6 months of this year than all of last year.
The training and years of interaction we shared helped set me on the right path, shaping the mindset and framework I still rely on today. My business has never been better, and more importantly, I have found a great balance between work and home life, something I do not believe would have been possible without Rueben’s coaching and the invaluable lessons I learned during our time together. Highly recommend.
