BUSINESS MENTOR · KEYNOTE SPEAKER · AUTHOR
Are you running your business,
or is it running you?
You’ve built a successful business. Now it’s time to build one that gives you greater freedom, more capacity to grow and the space to focus on what matters most.
Your business should give you more.
Not demand more from you.
The more your business relies on you, the less capacity you have to grow it.
"We've hit a ceiling."
"I hire more people and I'm still doing everything."
"If I stop, it stops."
"I didn't become my own boss to feel like this."
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I’ve had these conversations with business owners time and time again.
The answer isn’t always to work harder. It’s to take a closer look at what’s happening in your business, what needs to change and what will give you the space to move forward.
Together, we can work on the people, structure and direction you need to grow your business while getting more of your time back.
Real People. Real Results.
For me, the real value of mentoring comes from what happens after the conversation ends.

Not sure what’s holding your business back
or where to start?
Take The Business Edit.
A short assessment that gives you a clearer picture of what's working, what’s creating unnecessary pressure, and what may be relying too heavily on you.
You’ll walk away knowing what to:
KEEP - what’s working
FIX - what’s holding you back
REMOVE - what no longer serves the business
I created The Business Edit from my experience working with hundreds of business owners. It’s a practical place to start when you know something needs to change but aren’t quite sure where to focus.
Her story, short
Twenty years. Three hundred businesses.
One hard-won lesson.
Experience matters. Especially when it’s your business on the line.
I’ve built businesses, made money, lost money, hired the wrong people and made some important decisions about growth. I know first-hand what it feels like when the business relies on you for too much.
That experience shapes how I mentor today. I’ll get to know you and your business, ask the questions that need asking and help you work through the decisions you might have been putting off.
Together, we’ll look at what needs to change so you can build a stronger business and feel more in control of where it’s going.
I don’t mentor from theory. I’ve lived it.
"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Nancy over the last few years. Nancy has been an asset to my business from the get go - providing invaluable accountability sessions, personal and professional support, ideas and direction. With her can do attitude, positivity and endless energy, Nancy is an inspiring leader who you know is in your corner. I look forward to many more years of growth and business satisfaction with Nancy by my side."

COMMIT · CHOOSE · CONTROL
Stop trying to
fix everything at once.
Sustainable growth starts with knowing what actually needs to change.
My approach brings together my own business experience and practical strategy. I’ll be honest with you, challenge your thinking when it’s needed and help you work through the decisions and behaviours that might be keeping you stuck.
Then we’ll focus on the actions that will move you and your business forward.
Commit
Get clear on where you are and where you actually want to go. Look honestly at what's working, what's not and what needs to change.
Choose
Make the decisions that move the business forward. Stop delaying the difficult decisions around your people, priorities, growth and direction.
Control
Build a business that works better without needing more of you. Put the right structure, systems and leadership rhythms in place to create greater capacity for growth and greater freedom for you.
The Classic Method brings together practical frameworks around your time, team, energy, leadership and the decisions shaping the next stage of your business.
Client Testimonials
The best measure of my work is what happens after the conversation ends.
"After having left a global US bank I decided to venture into Mortgage Broking. Over the 2 years that I spent with Nancy I built a successful business from scratch and had close to AUD 50mn in settled and pipeline loans. This is something I am very proud of. The whole team at Classic were instrumental and supportive to allow me to build a successful and sustainable business. I would have not been able to achieve what I have done without their support."

TED Presenter
"Nancy, thank you so much for your recent presentation. The team and I were unanimous in just how amazing you were. You present so naturally and come across with such authenticity, sincerity, credibility and of course with warmth as always! I thought today was one of the best presentations I’ve seen all year. The way you shared your story and experiences were so relatable and clearly so did everyone else, evidenced by such overwhelmingly positive feedback and the fact we achieved 100% attendee engagement throughout the entire webinar. You’ve unquestionably added value to hundreds of our members and for that we are eternally grateful."
