01 · The Work

Tell us a bit about what you do

I am looking after the digital growth of two businesses in the IT training space: one in B2B, one in B2C.

On one end we serve all the top 500 companies in Australia for all their training and certification needs (think AWS, Azure certifications) with a revenue of $40m/year, and on the other end, we cater to the public at large trying to break into tech with short courses through a startup doing $2m revenue a year.

02 · Before

Before you learned about GrowthMentor, how did you deal with the challenges you faced?

Lots of reading (still do!) and online tutorials, but nobody to bounce ideas with.

03 · The Decision

What made you pull the trigger on joining?

It might sound strange, but sometimes your questions are so specific to your own use-case that you simply can't google them. You need to talk to someone. At the beginning of 2020, I decided to up my game and start engaging with real pros in the space to see how they would deal with the situations I am facing. I joined in January and still actively do sessions.

04 · Inside the Platform

What's your favorite part about being a member?

Every single one of the mentors is incredibly friendly and patient. I am always nervous to just waste their valuable time, but they are always listening with sincere interest.

Any particular mentor that stands out?

I had several calls with David Kelly who is an outstanding guy.

05 · The Breakthrough

How have you benefited business wise and personally?

No concrete numbers, but just an overall growing feeling of confidence when approaching marketing problems. I am getting sharper every session that passes.

I am naturally introverted, and growing a network is never something I have really considered. Speaking to mentors on a regular basis pushed me to relax a bit and start connecting with more people in my industry.

06 · The Transformation

How would you summarize GrowthMentor in one sentence?

I would describe it as a great community made-up of great and approachable experts in their field.

The next story could be yours.
