Hi,

I’m Tegan

Former MD. Obsessed with small biz.

I help owners build simpler, stronger businesses - ready to grow or sell with confidence.

Work with Me

Running a business can be tough.

Running it well is tougher - you have limited time, a team that needs you, and pressure coming from every direction.

I know it all too well.

I transformed my own retail and service business into a profitable, streamlined operation with a growing team and new revenue streams. And yes, I made plenty of mistakes along the way. Which taught me what works and what doesn’t.

Since then, I’ve worked with business owners across Australia, helping them get clear on their market and numbers, fix what’s not working, and build a business that works for them now and in the long term.

Whether you're stuck, ready to grow, or thinking about stepping back, I’m here to help.

My Approach

Tailored

Either in-person or online, our sessions together are structured, but shaped around your business. If you’re on top of cashflow but systems are a mess, that’s where we’ll start. We focus where it matters most: no cookie-cutter curriculums, no wasted time.

Driven

I’m all about the results. There’s nothing better than seeing real change as the business shifts and improves. I’ll show you which metrics matter, make sure you’re tracking them correctly, and celebrate with you when they move in the right direction.

Steady

I take a paced, practical approach. Once the strategy’s set — whether through a Business Insights Scan, Strategy Sprint or during ongoing coaching — we move steadily: building skills, making changes, and checking what’s working. I introduce tools as needed, so nothing’s overwhelming: just focused, supportive and actionable.
