    “Victoria’s newest Circular Economy start-up, Shellter Bio-Materials Upcycling, would simply have not come to be without the Project Zero Program by the Synergy Foundation. My personal Venture Coach, Mr. John Reese, was an invaluable resource that helped guide me on some of the largest strategic decisions I’ve ever had to make for my own venture.”

If either of these sound familiar…

Your business is your passion, but lately, it feels like it's taking a lot more than it's giving. Your expertise is solid, you know what your customers want, but you're handling everything from marketing to financials, customer service to supplier relationships. You’re working longer hours than ever—yet somehow profits are plateauing, or even shrinking.

You know something needs to change, you just can't see the way forward.

Or…

You've made it to multi-locations, but success feels like a double-edged sword. Business is moving—good revenues, capable staff—but you're drowning in daily operations. Instead of leading your team, you're constantly putting out fires, having to track too many details about every aspect of performance, and can't remember your last uninterrupted weekend.

Success was meant to look—and feel—different.

…then we should talk. Drop me a line.
