Dear
Entrepreneur, Gary Hipworth’s Coaching and Business System Helps You: 1. Build a team of people who think and act like owners 2. Get some relief from battling away on your own 3. Make more money and generate positive cash flow 4. Work fewer hours and take more holidays, and get more out of life 5. Have a lot more fun and enjoy going to work 6. Turn your business into a valuable franchise prototype 7. Learn how to be a more astute businessperson 8. Become a more aware person and a better leader Gary Hipworth’s Open-book Management ApproachIt
combines the democratic values of personal freedom,
responsibility and team competition with the social ideals of the
cooperative sharing of information, decision-making and wealth
and good old common sense of treating people as adults. In an open-book company, every employee (we call them players!) - sees and learns to understand the company’s financials, along with all the other numbers that are critical to tracking the business’s performance. That’s why it’s called open-book. Employees know whether the business is making money. They know how much. They know why. They have a darn good idea of what the future holds – all because they see the numbers that most companies show only to top management. So whatever else they do, employees know that a large part of their job is to move the numbers of the whole business in the right direction. But why would they bother? If the business is profitable, they get a cut of the action – incentives that are directly tied to the overall company profit. If the business is not profitable, they don’t get a cut. OBM therefore teaches employees to think and act like owners and quit thinking and acting like hired hands. Warning! The open-book revolution is not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. It will take at least twelve months to ‘kick-in’ because it is a continuous learning approach for creating a successful long-term business. The ideal OBM entrepreneur is open to learning, has nothing to hide, has an exciting vision, is thoughtful, honest and willing to share information, decision-making and profits with their people because the bigger the cake, the more there is to share! If
you recognise yourself in the above description, we need to talk!
HOW DO WE KNOW GARY'S BUSINESS SYSTEM REALLY WORKS? “I am an ideas person, so when I had an idea to start a trades company to supply tradesmen whenever they are needed I pretty much thought I was on a winner. My problem was I actually had no idea how to run a business. It was about this time that I met Gary Hipworth, who created Virtual Business Partner. He has taught me the value of having a great team around you and that everyone on the team behaves like a businessperson. I am now a great believer in the open-book management philosophy. This means all employees (players) know the score and they are all involved in the business decisions and they all share in a percentage of the profits. Gary has helped us systemize our business, he has taught us about putting a budget together and in general he has taught me that business isn’t about doing everything yourself, it is about training everyone to do their jobs in the best possible way. There is no way I could have achieved any of this without Gary and his Open-book approach. He is an inspirational mentor and his passion for business and life is unbelievable to be around.” Rohan Merry – Owner and Managing Director - Instant Property Styling Pty Ltd. Melbourne Australia “Gary Hipworth’s Virtual Business Partner/ Open-Book approach to business was an essential part of the re-development and expansion of my Renovating Business. Gary assisted me to take my business to the next level, from a sole trader to a company that now employs 6 full-time staff. He guided me through all aspects of business development, from establishing polices and procedures to overhauling my accounting system. Virtual Business Partner is definitely a secret weapon in the business world.” Andrew Thom – Owner and Managing Director - ART Renovations Pty Ltd. Melbourne Australia. “I have worked with Gary Hipworth over the last 10 years in his capacity as a business consultant, trainer, mentor, financial and general manager, and as an agent of change. In each of these roles he has made an effective contribution chiefly through his ability to bring fresh and innovative solutions to difficult circumstances; to develop a team culture and attitude amongst those around him; and to equip those entrusted to his responsibility with the skills and motivation to fulfil the roles demanded of them. Gary has a real affinity for small and medium sized businesses and can make a real and positive difference for those prepared to work with him in solving their challenges in business. In all of this he does not lose sight of the need to maintain a balance in life so that a suitable quality of life can be achieved and maintained”. Bruce Ellis – Director, Te Popo Gardens, Palmerston. New Zealand. "Gary Hipworth has been my business coach for around 12 months. Prior to meeting Gary, I was working long hours, had no idea how much money I was making and was stressed. Gary stepped me through his practical, innovative process and now my business has newfound direction, efficient systems and as a result continues to grow. Essentially Gary has enabled me to become a better businessperson. In addition, Gary is a very kind and generous person and truly cares about seeing people succeed - and succeed you will if you enjoy learning and setting goals in both business and life. I have no hesitation in recommending Gary's services." Kylie Warne – Director, Warne Marketing Pty Ltd. Melbourne Australia. I was introduced to Gary at a business meeting and having purchased a business 8 months earlier needed some direction and expertise to take the business forward. Gary’s business coaching is based around open-book management, which was a scary prospect. We opened the books to the staff and it has proved to be a positive experience, although it does sort out the wheat from the chaff. Staff are more motivated and are focused as a team on achieving goals and targets set. It gives them a sense of ownership, that what they do matters and contributes greatly to the success of the business. It has been a year of great change and development. My business would not be where it is today without Gary’s assistance. I would recommend Gary to any business that needs help with getting direction and goal setting. Linda France – Director, IGEL Productions Pty Ltd. Geelong Australia. What Is A Virtual Business Partner (VBP)? Simply put, I will work with you as though I was actually your business partner, to help you and your team achieve your life and business goals. I attempt to ‘live in your shoes’ so that I can understand what you want to achieve and more importantly why you want to achieve particular goals. Your concerns become my concerns. When you need someone to talk to, someone to keep you accountable, someone to help you make the difficult decisions, someone to help you keep focused on working the current game plan, I will be there by your side, every step of the way. However, my main goal is to teach you how to run your own open-book management business, and then be capable of teaching the same skills to other budding leaders and entrepreneurs in your business. To this end I have developed a whole suite of programs that help you achieve this result in about twelve months, although this will vary with each person. We have named this unique program ‘onusBonusTM’ to convey two critical things:
More specifically, for a fixed monthly retainer fee, you will receive: Four face-to-face VBP visits of 1.5 hours per month to help you and your team implement the revolutionary onusBonusTM management system in your business
*SuperLife
Plan is a break through, completely computerised DIY life
planning tool that can also be purchased as a stand alone life
planning program. For more information on this unique, life
changing program go to this
