Steve Clark

Friday's Off

Steve holds the BNG Category: Business Coaching

Ask most business owners when they last had a Friday off and you’ll usually get a laugh. Many started their business for more freedom, then found the business running them instead. Steve Clark helps owners turn that around.

Steve is a transition and exit strategist with more than 20 years’ experience. He works with Australian business owners on one big question: what happens next? Some want to keep going with more confidence. Some want to step back and get their time back. Some are ready to sell for the best possible price. Fridays Off gives each of them a clear, practical plan to get there.

Steve isn’t a typical business coach. He doesn’t focus only on the deal. He builds value from the inside, through the right management team, better systems and processes, and smarter use of your time. The result is a business that runs well without you, which makes it more profitable and more valuable whether you sell or not.

How Steve can help

  • Fridays Off 120 Days: step back from the day-to-day within 120 days without losing profit or control. Steve helps you build a management team, improve your systems and technology, and lift your own productivity, with a target of a 20% improvement in efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Sale Ready 270 Days: get your business ready to sell within 270 days. A Sale-Ready Scorecard shows where the gaps are. A step-by-step roadmap then improves performance, profitability and the drivers that lift your valuation.
  • 2 Year Exit Strategy: a planned path to family succession or a sale to a third party. It sets clear milestones, brings in the right professional advisers and prepares your business for due diligence.
  • Perfect Year Business System: a simple calendar that keeps key planning, like your annual marketing plan refresh, on track year after year.
  • Practical tools: Holistic KPIs, performance management documents and coaching conversation guides that help you measure and lead your team.

Steve’s clients talk about getting their freedom back: surfing on a Friday, picking the kids up from school, or taking a long holiday while their management team keeps things running. Some liked the arrangement so much they kept it when they came home.

Who makes a great referral for Steve?

Any business owner who feels trapped by their business, is working too many hours or isn’t sure what the future holds. It also covers owners thinking about retirement, succession or selling in the next few years, and anyone worried about whether their super and business value will fund the life they want. If you hear someone say “I can’t take a day off” or “I don’t know what this business is worth”, Steve is the person to introduce them to. Accountants, financial planners, business brokers, solicitors and bank managers make great referral partners, because their clients often face these decisions.
