What is the business health check?
A free 5-minute diagnostic that scores your business across five pillars: Strategy, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Operations. You answer 15 questions and get an instant score with a downloadable PDF report. It surfaces the real bottlenecks — not surface-level symptoms.
Take the health checkWho is GYBB for?
Business owners doing R500K+ in annual revenue who have a real product or service, are willing to be coached, and want strategy-led growth rather than guesswork. I work with businesses across South Africa, the UK, and remotely worldwide. If you're pre-revenue or looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, this isn't for you.
What does strategy-led marketing mean?
It means diagnosing your business first, then building marketing that aligns with your actual growth goals. No random tactics. Every action ties back to a measurable outcome. Most agencies execute without strategy — they run ads before understanding your unit economics, your ideal customer, or your sales process. We start with the business, not the campaign.

Most agencies execute without strategy. GYBB combines 11 years of business coaching with done-for-you marketing execution. We diagnose before we build. That means your marketing actually connects to revenue, not just impressions.
See our servicesWhat does coaching look like in practice?
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic — I want to see your numbers, your team structure, your marketing stack, your pipeline. Then we build a 90-day plan with measurable milestones. Weekly or fortnightly check-ins. Real accountability. I bring strategic input alongside coaching — not just 'how do you feel about that?' but 'here's what the data says and here's how we fix it.'
Read about choosing a coachHow much does coaching cost?
It depends on scope. A focused 90-day strategy engagement is different from ongoing coaching with execution support. I don't publish fixed pricing because every business is different — the right engagement depends on where you are, what you need, and how much support makes sense. The discovery call is free and there's no obligation.

Yes. I work with businesses in South Africa, the UK, and remotely worldwide. The coaching and strategy work translates across markets. For execution (web builds, paid media), we have capability to deliver anywhere.
What industries do you work with?
I'm industry-agnostic. The five-pillar framework — Strategy, Finance, Marketing, Sales, Operations — applies to any business. I've worked with professional services, trades, SaaS, tourism, retail, health and wellness, and more. The common thread is owner-led businesses doing real revenue who want to grow with clarity.
See case studiesCan you just build me a website?
Yes, but I'll want to understand the strategy behind it first. A website without strategy is just a digital brochure. We build websites that are part of a broader growth system — connected to your sales process, optimised for the right traffic, and designed to convert. If you just need a basic website with no strategic context, there are cheaper options.
What if I've already tried coaching and it didn't work?
Most coaching fails because it's all accountability and no strategy. If your previous coach asked you how you felt but never looked at your numbers, your pipeline, or your unit economics, you got motivation, not transformation. My approach is data-driven, structured, and focused on measurable outcomes. If the numbers don't move, something needs to change.
