“Going into business and staying in business is an environment that is very hard to prepare for. The choices you make can be defining and break you and it is very important to choose the people and advise you get along the way.
I have been very fortunate to have Keith Millar as a business advisor and coach over many years and he has been invaluable to the growth of our company. His acumen and strategies really helped us understand ‘Why” we were preparing for the upcoming directions we were choosing and the follow up ensured we stayed on track for our goals.
As a business owner of 14 years, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Keith to any SME or larger business for his coaching, strategy and facilitation skills.”
“Over the past 18 months Di Marca has been on an insightful and enjoyable journey working with
Keith Millar. The Rockefeller Habits and Scaling Up principles he coaches with are certainly the
missing tools we needed to get to where we want to be.
Keith has added tremendous value and clarity to our business as a coach. One of the most important
elements is something invisible; simply, the three partners getting together with him, uninterrupted
once a month to review, plan and focus only on the business and how to improve its performance.
We find this time is crucial to our efforts in scaling up Di Marca. Otherwise the urgencies that life
throws at us get in the road of doing what is really important!
If you are a business owner and feel like you are not getting anywhere in a hurry, the value of
bringing Keith into your business as a coach can’t be emphasised enough.
Thank you, Keith for your genuine interest, support and guidance.”
