Quick reminder - the November Boardroom Case Study Group closes tonight. 

The consultancy owners I’ll be working with are committed to: 

— Growing to $2M, $5M, or $10M+ with clarity and control 

— Locking in consistent 30%+ net profit margins 

— Stepping out of the weeds and leading strategically 

The wins speak for themselves: 

— Drew elevated his leaders and tripled profit margins in just 90 days 

— Amanda & John clarified roles, raised rates, and posted their biggest month ever 

— Mandy, Alex & David nailed their culture and secured an $850K tender 

The common thread? 

They joined Boardroom - and reset how their business runs. 

Now it’s your turn. 

4 of the 5 seats are already taken. 

That leaves just 1 final spot. 

We kick off in November, and I’ll be locking in the last place tonight.

To your success,

Every consultancy on the path to $2M, $5M, or $10M+ hits the same wall at some point. 

Growth slows. 

The pipeline feels shaky. 

Margins start slipping. 

That’s the plateau. 

Armin, Haydn, John & James hit it - and then pushed through. 

By stepping out of the weeds and building real leadership around them, they scaled from $4.5M to $8M at 30% net margins. 

Instead of being pulled into every detail, they focused on strategy, positioning, and structure.  

The result? A bigger, more profitable business that no longer relies on them to deliver every project. 

Kevin hit it too. 

Revenue flatlined and profit was patchy.  

But by tightening his systems, focusing on high-value work, and running with discipline, he doubled his average monthly revenue - while consistently delivering 50%+ net margins. 

The difference? 

They didn’t sit and wait. 

They rebuilt strategy, added structure, and executed with intent. 

That’s exactly what we’ll ...

One of the biggest growth killers I see in consultancies? 

The founder stuck as the bottleneck. 

Every client, every decision, every fire - it all runs through them. 

That was Amanda & John not long ago. 

They were across everything: pricing, project delivery, client calls, team issues. 

And as the business grew, so did the chaos. 

But once we got clear on structure, their world shifted: 

— They defined team roles so the load didn’t fall back on them 

— They raised their rates so every project delivered more profit 

— And they created space to lead, not just manage the day-to-day 

The result? 

Their biggest month ever. 

A stronger, more confident team. 

And a business that’s now growing with control. 

And they’re not the only ones: 

— Quentin hit 60%+ net profit margins alongside record revenue months 

— Kevin doubled his average monthly revenue with 50%+ margins 

— Steven grew 230% in a single year 

What changed? 

They joined B...

Mandy, Alex & David just landed their biggest win yet. 

An $850K tender. 

And they’re on track to hit $5M+ in revenue this year. 

That’s not a fluke. 

And it’s definitely not luck. 

It’s the result of a clear plan, executed with focus and intent. 

Here’s what we worked on together: 

— They clarified their positioning and owned their niche 

No more blending in as generalists. They became the go-to experts for their ideal clients. 

— They strengthened delivery and team performance 

Internally, we tightened systems so they could deliver with confidence, quality, and capacity. 

— They improved efficiency and margins 

Projects and processes were streamlined so the business could run smarter, with stronger profit. 

The result? 

A game-changing $850K tender. 

On track for $5M+. 

And a business that’s now built for serious growth. 

Mandy, Alex & David aren’t pushing harder. They’re working with clarity and leverage.

October has been another standout month inside Boardroom. Members have secured multi-million-dollar projects, hit record profits, and finally freed themselves from the constant firefighting. 

On the back of that momentum, I’m opening a new Boardroom Case Study Group, kicking off in November – built for consultancy owners who are ready to grow faster, with stronger margins and more control. 

There are only a couple of spots left, and I’ll be hand-selecting the right businesses to join. 

This is for you if: 

— You run a consultancy in engineering, planning, surveying or architecture 

— Your revenue sits between $150K and $8M+ per year 

— You’re aiming for the next leap – $2M, $5M or even $10M+ 

— You want to consistently operate at 30%+ net profit 

— And you’re done with a business that only works if you’re working in it 

Here’s what we’ll work on together: 

— Filling your pipeline with quality clients and projects 

— Locking in delivery systems so profit margins a...

The consultancies growing past $10M all have one thing in common: they don’t compete on price. 

Not one of them. 

Because they know discounting isn’t “winning work”… it’s quietly destroying their business. 

Think about it. 

Every time you shave 5–10% off your fee, here’s what really happens: 

— You start the project already behind. 

— Your team feels the squeeze and morale tanks. 

— Stress piles up while profit disappears. 

And the client? They don’t respect you more for giving them a deal. They respect you less. 

Now here’s the uncomfortable truth: 

The reason you’re stuck dropping fees isn’t because “the market is tough.” 

It’s because you haven’t yet built the positioning, pipeline, or courage to hold the line. 

That’s why $10M consultancies play a different game: 

— They only chase ideal clients who value expertise over discounts 

— They position as specialists, not commodities 

— They build bulletproof pipelines, so one client can’t hold t...

Yesterday’s “How To Write Fee Proposals That Convert: 3 Steps to Lift Your Win Rate” workshop was one of the most practical and game-changing sessions I’ve ever run. 

Engineering and built environment consultancy owners showed up ready to finally fix weak, vanilla proposals - and walked away with the tools to start winning more projects, more consistently, and at stronger margins. 

And the feedback’s been incredible: 

“Exactly what we needed - our proposals finally stand out.”
 

“Practical, simple, and immediately usable - I’m already updating our templates.”
 

“This gave me confidence that clients will say yes without asking for discounts.” 

A few people have reached out saying they couldn’t make it live - so I’m making the full replay available until Friday.

Tomorrow we’re running the “How To Write Fee Proposals That Convert” online workshop - and if you’ve been on the fence, here’s why now’s the time to jump in. 

Here’s what happens when consultancy owners use the proposal framework I’ll show you tomorrow: 

 — Darren & Mark won a $3M project with an A+ Grade client 

 — Peter & Mark broke revenue records two months in a row
 

 — Mandy, Alex & David secured an $850K tender 

Take a glance at tomorrow’s calendar. 

Now back to me. 

Now back to your calendar. 

Now back to me. 

Tomorrow, you could be stuck in ‘business as usual’ mode, sending out more of the same weak, vanilla proposals that don’t convert… 

…or, you could be learning the exact 3 steps top consultancies are using to:
 

 — Write proposals that make “yes” the default answer
 

 — Stop being vanilla and position themselves as first choice with A-grade clients 

 — Build instant credibility with proof, results, and positioning
 

 — Win more of the rig...

Let’s be honest. 

Most fee proposals read like a cross between a tax return and an IKEA manual. 

They’re boring. 

They’re filled with technical jargon.
 

And they have clients skipping to the end to see if you're the 'cheapest'. 

Because here’s the truth: 

If your proposal isn’t persuading, it’s boring them to tears. 

And bored clients buy from someone else. 

The client either:
 

 — Hands the work to a competitor who actually sells their value
 

 — Or emails you back with, “Can you cut your fee?” 

Neither is fun. 

Let’s fix that. 

Next Tuesday, I’m running an online workshop: 

How To Write Fee Proposals That Convert // 3 Steps to Lift Your Win Rate
 

 — Tuesday 21 October
 

 — 11:45am – 1:15pm NSW time
 

 — $100 to join 

 — Capped at 10 spots

This is a practical, no-BS session for consultancy owners who are sick of writing weak proposals and want to start:
