Coaching

Hi I’m Julia Bickerstaff, the founder of The Business Bakery.

If you are stuck, have got a specific problem, are falling out of love with your business or just want a coach, I’d be really happy to help.

I don’t do a lot of one-on-one coaching now because I’m pretty busy running The Business Bakery. But as I still love working with businesses like yours and as you’re still asking me to do it, I’m available! I just limit my total coaching time to about 10 hours a month.

If you think you’d like some one-on-one coaching it’s probably best if you contact me here. That way you and I can work out if I’m the right person to help you. And if I’m not maybe I can suggest someone who is.

If you’d like to know a bit more about the practical side of things, here goes.

I live in Sydney so if you’re in the local area I’m happy to catch up with you in person. If not we can Skype, Google Hangout or whatever. – I charge $400 an hour. I know, I’m not a cheap option. – There’s no minimum (or maximum, for that matter) number of sessions. Some of my clients ask for just one session to get them on the right path, others see me monthly for a regular check in. I’m pretty flexible. – To give you some assurance that I’m a real person with real skills, here’s a link to my LinkedIn profile.

If you’re looking for something a little less pricey, you might like The Kitchen. It’s for people who are serious about making a Healthy Income and who’d like a super-doable a plan to follow but don’t need the personal help of a coach.

 

When Julia has something to say it’s worth taking note because she combines a wealth of valuable knowledge with a wonderful ability to communicate it in a most effective and relevant manner. It always makes a difference, however big or small, and that’s what makes it so worth heeding. Julia helped get us unstuck when we were at a crossroads in our business and the advice she writes at The Business Bakery provides the food for thought and the answers to questions we need to help us on our ongoing journey of making a success of our business day in and day out.Julia’s contributions to Moush, both direct and indirect, both big and small, have been priceless.

Julia was fabulous as a mentor for me, she worked through all the fundamentals, finances and foundations of the business with me, and saw me right through to launch phase and beyond. Each step of the way she helped me think, craft and create the best strategy for my business. As a person Julia fosters the idea of the business and your personal passion as well as asking key questions that make you think objectively and in a business-like manner. I would highly recommend coaching and mentoring from Julia!

Julia dishes up tasty morsels of what took me 2 years to digest in my first business Luken & May Biscuits. She is such a smart cookie who bakes the best recipe – a healthy P&L – plus you get a pinch of wit & dose of fun tossed in the mix”.

Julia rocks! She has a totally pragmatic approach to business which results in practical steps for improving your business and delivers her wisdom with gentle humour and understanding. I worked with her last year when I was setting the fee levels for my financial advice business and after just an hour with her I knew exactly what to do. I’m glad she’s here.

“We loved working with Julia to grow the business – her practical business tips are simple and easy to put in place right away and the results are immediate.”

The Business Bakery is my most valued business owner’s daily tool for practical advice and inspiration, bar none. Julia has a way of teaching business that is creative, light hearted and effective. Never have I been made to feel as excited about topics such as pricing, forecasting, time saving and task management. The thing that sets Julia and the Business Bakery apart, is that she’s had an incredibly successful Finance career, small business career AND that she has the gift of being able to teach and impart passion. That combination is rare.

Julia Bickerstaff is quite frankly my business and personal treasure! I have a unique business that Julia ‘gets’ and believes in. She has worked with my strengths, personality and values to build a ‘healthy’ business that I am really proud of! When I met Julia I was a sole trader of 20 years and not sure where to go …. Now ‘It’s time to shine Pty Ltd’ is a healthy business from head to toe. Julia is very supportive, practical, knowledgeable and incredibly experienced. She wants my business to thrive as much as I do. Having Julia on my business journey has been the BEST decision I ever made!

Thank you so much for everything

Julia breaks down all the elements of small business (including, for me, the ever-so-tricky financials) into bite size chunks I can understand and action. She has set me on a positive course towards ensuring my home-based online business is not only fun and inspiring, but also makes a healthy profit.
I recommend Julia to ALL of my small business owner friends and colleagues who are either starting out or trying to make more sense of an already established business. I think she is terribly fabulous!
