I have known Rick Chisholm for well over 25 years and have had the privilege of being his Insurance Broker in all that time. I have witnessed Rick, from very humble beginnings, create Multi Million Dollar Enterprises over the years, in a diverse range of Industries and in very short periods of time, through sheer hard work and a business savvy that has been the envy of his peers and competitors alike.
I have no hesitation in recommending Rick to anyone who is considering utilising the services of a competent and experienced Business strategy coach. You’ll be surprised at the creative and yet commonsense approach he will provide in guiding you to grow your business to take it to the next level.
Rick is first and foremost a communicator, a skill he developed very early in life when he was rated the number one 5-star venue DJ and MC in Sydney. Since that time he has used his communication talent and his engineering expertise to develop multiple businesses, many of which became multi-million dollar enterprises. His flagship, Lightsounds, was franchised with about 18 franchises operating at the one time. As a successful business person in a number of fields, Rick has the knowledge needed to mentor Entrepreneurs as well as advising even the most successful enterprise. Ultimately, Rick is a trainer and coach who can “talk the talk” because he has many times “walked the walk”
I have known Rick Chisholm for a number of years professionally through his business interests as a leader in Australia's audio-visual industry and business consulting. Rick is always on the go, with ideas converted into action with surprising speed and thoroughness. Rick is direct and intense in his business dealings, as a person most passionate about his subject matter with a business knowledge which is extensive - including launching multiple businesses, creating a national franchise, engaging a significant team of staff, developing and launching retail models for distribution and online marketing. In addition to his formidable business experience, Rick is well recognised for his enthusiastic coaching and development of people, backed by his experience and strong methodology
Rick has been my coach and mentor ever since I met him a few years ago. He has always been a great resource for me and helped me review my path many times along the way. I cannot thank him enough for his guidance and motivation. He has helped me with my business and personal development and I will owe him for a long time to come!
Rick helps us focus on what we're good at, stay on course and implement new strategies, cut costs, and not make the same mistakes him himself made in his many businesses over the last thirty years. He also helped expand our wholesale arm by licensing our brand to other retailers whilst maintaining total control. He's also taught us about the importance of KPI's (key performance indicators) and how to formulate internal systems to reduce my time in the business so I can spend more time ON the business.
Rick has helped me concentrate on working on my business and to focus on the KPI's and building a team instead of just working 80 hours a week in the business. The value in Rick as a coach is sitting down once a month and having to answer the hard questions about the business. He's helped me cover areas of business such as our unique value proposition, who our customers really are, and what they really expect. He has so many strategies that cost absolutely nothing yet they create fantastic results!
