Accelerating profits means working smarter, not harder.
Need time back in your personal & business Life?
Unfortunately, time spent in the business doesn’t always lead to extra revenues or profits and in many cases, it actually leads to business owners burning out. When pressure builds at home and family time is sacrificed to get ahead, our stress levels blow out when the business doesn’t produce the results.
Burning Out?

If it’s quicker to do myself, then is it a smarter use of my time as business owner?
Time management can be complex, after all, your business is your baby. And we all have a natural strength that we lean into as you grow the business. But if over time, we seem to be doing everything and there never is enough hours in the day, then this can be a vicious circle when in a growth mindset.
Being time poor leads to poor habits that owners get trapped into – working in the business and not on the business.
Profit driven goals and strategies, purpose and clarity are essential building blocks for successful businesses. It is important to strategically know your business, and how you and your team use planning effectively to set timebound goals and priorities.
After all, business growth evolves through various stages, and unless you’ve been there before, it is easy to make mistakes and spend time on low value tasks or low impact outcomes.
How my 1:1 business coaching can grow revenues and profits by optimizing your time at work - avoid doing the work that your team should be doing?
Attract Ideal Customers
Knowing who your “A” grade customers are, means you need to spend more time with them. Let’s focus on building profitable revenues and avoid the time wasting customers or those that don't pay on time.
Improving Productivity
Imagine if you stopped doing low value tasks, having a team with clear accountabilities and systems to monitor performance. Use a business coach to help you implement systems and create habits to energize output.
Strategic Initiatives
Time wasted is lost forever. But it also can cost our business us cash and limit equity values.
If we want to grow our business, then implementing the right strategies becomes critical to being successful; why take the risk and add the worry of choosing the wrong option. Fast-track your growth with a business coach.
Overwhelmed in trying to grow your business - unlock the secrets to better time management to drive profits higher through your coaching journey with David Lockwood
“I am a better business person and a better family man for having David in my life.
I now have my time back which is one of the most important changes in my life as a small business owner. As a family man, I can spend more time with my wife & children.
— Andrew Cain
Meet David Lockwood, your coach for time management
I often talk with business owners who are caught in the time trap of working more hours to get ahead in business. However, when we chat it soon becomes clear that owners are working on things that make themselves busy rather than things that make them money.
Let’s be clear; we all want to create significantly more profit.
I have myself been a business owner (and still am!) so I understand your conflict of where you spend your time, and the choices you make. I have learned that family time is so important. My goal for you is to ensure that life doesn’t pass you by whilst you’re working hard.
I am a practical, business results focused business coach, I want to make a difference to your bottom line, to your journey as a business owner and to the team of people who help you do it.
My goal is to improve your financial return, and ultimately to find that balance between your aspirations, and your work and family commitments, and to use your time wisely.
Unlocking profit potential through time management with My Business Brain™
My Business Brain™ is the framework I have created using my years in business. The framework is central to every successful business story.
- Uncover the 'Secret Sauce'My Business Brain TM helps businesses uncover their “secret sauce” and how you can generate value where others don’t, how positioning your business within the competitive landscape is such a powerful tool, and why systems and processes are the only way to leverage a business that wants to grow.
- Develop a Growth MindsetAs you business grows, your vision of the future is brought to life. Your knowledge and expectations are transferred to employees and contractors to implement. And you share how you want your business to run, and set the values and brand positioning that you want to be known for.
- Find Your HeadspaceAt each stage of business growth, business owners confront many challenges to solve but finding the head space is not always easy. Issues such as: (1) Being faced with employing more people, some of whom you want to delegate critical responsibilities to, (2) Demanding better management information to make bigger decisions, (3) Having to comply with procedures that meet the myriad of regulations and industry standards with the risk of fines and penalties for failing them inadvertentl, and (4) Wanting to know which products or services to grow so that cash resources can meet the investment in working capital.
- Don’t Burn CashBusiness can spend a lot of cash attracting customers but it is easy to burn cash doing so if we don’t have a customer retention strategy. Let me help you celebrate you happy customers and how to leverage their experiences for sales growth.
