"My pharmacy had undergone phenomenal growth over the last eighteen months, and I was struggling getting operational systems to cope with the increased business.  My goals and business focus had become blurred and I was unsure how to steer the business to maintain growth, keep things profitable, and give me the lifestyle I was after.

After the session with Dean, I had a blueprint for sorting out the operational problems in the business, and knew how to put systems in place to ensure the pharmacy could run without my direct input every day. 

I was also able to crystallise the direction of the pharmacy to obtain profitable growth for the company.  

By the end of the day I had a clear action plan, and Dean's continued contact since that session helps to ensure the plan is being implemented.

The DaltonPlan® business planning day has been one of the best things I have done since starting in business."

"My plumbing & gas fitting business was doing really well with 12 full-time staff and a retail showroom. I was virtually rushed off my feet with customer enquiries … I suppose you're thinking, "I wouldn't mind that problem," but it left me no time for anything else. I was beginning to feel burnt out.

Taking time out with Dean made me see there was a better way of working. It all came down to putting a few basic systems in place. 

I now feel like I'm running my business - it isn't running me."

"After three years in my writing and editing business, I realised that I needed to be more focused. I had developed and successfully run a business-writing training workshop but wasn’t sure how to establish this new service within my existing business.

I needed help, so I invested in a DaltonPlan® business-planning session. Within two hours I had, for the first time, a really clear view of my range of services, and how much each contributed to my profit.

I also identified my short-term and long-term goals. Dean and I worked through the systems and processes I need to put in place, and we worked out a detailed action plan. Now I make decisions on the basis of whether they help me to reach my goals."

"After taking an intellectual year off while having my baby it was time to focus once more on my business. For some time I had been aware that the business needed some outside help and I considered getting this help from several sources but I was unsure exactly what sort of help I needed.

Rapid growth and investment had left us cash flow short, and I felt out of control of the day-to-day running of my business.

Time to call in the professionals. A couple of phone calls later I was in touch with Dean Dalton from DaltonPlan®, which sounded like the solution I was after, an overall business plan that would help me define areas in need of improvement, give me helpful advice on financial planning and get me thinking more creatively about the very important marketing side of my business.

The day I spent with Dean felt like a 6-month course squashed into one day and left me reeling with enthusiasm and ideas. Along with my busy life, it’s been a struggle to put everything in place but every little change I make feels like a positive achievement steering my business towards a healthier life!"
