About Ben,
In 2015, I bought my first truck and began my business journey. I was working as an owner operator for four years, with ambitions of growing and do more. I provided great customer service, delivered on what I said I would do, and in 18 months I grew the business to six trucks and over $1,000,000 revenue.
Business was growing. Business was good. The Covid hit.
Over the next 18 months, we lost around 70% of revenue for a nine month period. Wages were paid, financing, registrations, fuel, insurances, operating expenses, etc. Eventually the inevitable arrived, I closed the business and liquidated after surviving through Covid for 2.5 years.
I have grown a business from the ground up, enjoyed the successes, witnessed the failures, lived through the challenges and fears, and felt the elation of signing each new client and hitting milestone after milestone.
My Experience
In growing my business from $0 to $1,000,000+, I learned the value of expertise, combined with diversification of clientele and great execution. Initially when I bought the first truck, I was just doing local pick up and deliveries. It paid the bills but it was essentially just having a job where I had all the responsibilities, without the security of a regular income. Some of the problems I faced was that this model was not scaleable, income and jobs were inconsistent, every job was a negotiation and I needed to be involved in every element of the business.
So I made calculated decisions, changed the customers I targeted and the work that I accepted. This lead me to working in industries and with businesses and individuals I would have never thought possible. I worked with national retailers, custom furniture makers, manufacturers, logistics companies, trade show and events management, waste management, sensitive freight, VIP Transport (Fleetwood Mac and Madonna), Government departments and charities, and many others.
My Approach
I treat all of my clients as I would a business partner, where I am invested in the success of their business. I am driven by your success.
I believe in collaboration. Think of a sports team. You are the business owner or leader, you are the head coach. I am like a specialist coach on your team. In rugby you have many coaches, forwards, backs, line outs, scrums, kicking, defensive, strategy, etc. You get the point. I am your coach, working on strategy, game plan, growth, mentality and accountability.
I have developed a 5-Step Plan, it is a framework for dealing with challenges, goal setting, opening your business to new opportunities, developing strategic plans and accountability to achieve this success.
I have built and run my own business, I treat you as an equal, not just a client.
Why I do This Work
I was not alone in my business journey. I had mentors and people that I could talk to, bounce ideas off and ask hard questions to and be given hard answers when I needed them. That is why I do this work.
Everyone needs someone in their corner, someone to give them honesty, be a brainstorming partner, a strategist, be invested in their success and someone to hold them accountable. You also get someone who has real world lived experience of the challenges you are facing, not just generic advice.
