What if ONE Change Could Transform Your Entire Business?

 Look, if you're running a successful business but feel like you're constantly swimming upstream... if you're working longer hours than ever but somehow can't seem to reach that next level... and if your personal life is suffering because of it...

 ...then you're definitely not alone, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with you.

 Here's what we've discovered after working with hundreds of business owners: You're likely facing what we call an invisible "glass ceiling" - and it's quietly costing you more than just money. It's affecting your peace of mind, your relationships, and probably your well being too.

And honestly? It's completely understandable.

 Running a business, especially with all the pressures you're facing, is incredibly challenging. Most of the advice out there only addresses surface-level symptoms while missing the real issue underneath.

 The truth is, when you're in the thick of running your business day-to-day, it's nearly impossible to see the forest for the trees. Your emotions and daily pressures naturally influence your decisions - and that's exactly what keeps you stuck in patterns that feel exhausting.

Here's what we've learned: It's absolutely fixable.

 We've had the privilege of helping hundreds of business owners just like you break through to that next level and rediscover why they fell in love with their business in the first place.

 Our clients often share experiences like:

  • "I learned that if your work objectives aren't in tune with your values, you simply won't achieve them."
  • "All aspects of my life - my home, family, health and fitness - improved immeasurably in the first 90 days."
  • "Together Kevin and Vicki make a formidable team that combines their skills in a really helpful way."

Here's how we approach things differently:

  • Resolve the financial pressures so you can operate from a place of strength rather than stress
  • Create breathing room in your schedule so you're not constantly feeling overwhelmed
  • Build reliable systems that support your growth instead of requiring your constant attention
  • Help you price and position your services in a way that reflects their true value
  • Develop predictable revenue streams so you can plan with confidence

We'd love to explore whether we might be able to help you too.

 To make sure we can provide the most valuable guidance, we work with business owners who are:

  • Running an established, profitable business

  • Ready to explore making some meaningful changes

  • Open to new perspectives and approaches
  • Committed to taking thoughtful action
  • Able to maintain a sense of humour through the process (business should still be enjoyable!)

If this resonates with you, here's how we can start:

 Simply fill out the application below and tell us a bit about your business, what you're experiencing, and what you'd like to see change. We genuinely want to understand your situation.

 If it looks like we might be able to help, we'll send you a calendar link to have a proper conversation. If we don't think we're the right fit, we'll be upfront about that too and try to point you in a better direction.

A quick note:

 Because we provide quite intensive, personalised guidance, we naturally work with a limited number of clients at any given time. But if we see a good potential match, we're quite flexible with our schedules.

 The conversation itself is valuable regardless - you'll walk away with clarity about your situation and some practical next steps, whether we work together or not.

Why choose us?

 If you want someone to help you cut through all the bullshit, someone you can trust and show you the right path. If you’re not afraid of hard work, and you’re ready to break through that glass ceiling, then:

“Together Kev and Vicki make a formidable force…”

Vicki and Kev are like dovetail Japanese joinery. Two distinct pieces that fit together with such precision and strength that the connection becomes virtually unbreakable.

They are both excellent at identifying areas where we need to improve and making sure that we address these rather than shy away from them.

I had a change to my business circumstances a couple of years ago. I was aware I had become complacent, starting to get bored with what I was doing. I was making good money, but I was very aware I wasn't as good as I could be.

When I was nervous or unsure, they helped me implement decisions and changes in ways they could see would build my confidence and enable me to continue making changes on my own

Someone said: “I only want to make this about business. I want to keep it separate from my life.” But very early on, I learned if your work objectives are not in tune with your values, you simply won't achieve them.

So I found it very important straight away to work on all the aspects of life. I found all of the more personal things – my home, family and friends, my relationship with significant others, my health and fitness… all improved immeasurably in the first 90 days.

Between the two of them, Kevin and Vicki make a great team. They're not just an accountant or a business coach. They combine together to be stronger than that… and they bounce off each other and combine their skills in a really helpful way.

 We hold regular quarterly group client events where you can meet some of these clients and others... 

Who the hell are we?

   Together we own and run Venture Coaching, we have developed a series of methods to consistently add value to our clients:

Kevin Whitehouse

Kevin Whitehouse is the numbers guru who speaks the language of business. As a coach, mentor, author, and speaker, with decades of experience in small business financial consulting, Kevin has a wealth of knowledge for helping businesses thrive....

He gets it because he's been there, navigating the victories and challenges of entrepreneurship firsthand.

He's passionate about helping clients make more money and have an easier life, combining his financial expertise with innovative techniques to deliver exceptional results. With Kevin, it's not just about the numbers; it's about empowering you to achieve your business goals and create a brighter future.

People don't know what they don’t know. It’s possible no one has ever explained or shown you what's right under your nose.

Break through the glass ceiling

 There comes a moment in every successful business owner's life when you realise you're working harder and harder, faster and faster, and despite the fact you are seeing the rewards, there is a constant demand on your time.

The pressure to sustain and maintain what you’ve built for you and your family needs to be lifted.

 We describe this as a glass ceiling.

 Something is preventing you from getting to the next level and if you choose to do nothing, then nothing will change, except perhaps maybe it will start to affect your health and relationships.

 Furthermore, you’ll start to undo all the long hours, days, weeks and years of hard work you’ve already invested!

 The good news is that assuming you have the determination, will and wherewithal to invest the time and the money, and if you meet our strict qualifying criteria, we can coach and mentor you through to the next stage.
