TAKING OUR THRIVING LOCAL BUSINESSES TO THE NEXT LEVEL
BY ANGIE HAMMOND
The Sunshine Coast is where innovation and new businesses thrive. You can almost feel the palpitations in the air, humming with the vibration of activity and growth. Our region attracts people with an entrepreneurial mindset, vision and drive—how exciting is that? Until it isn’t. Until the constraints of running a small business start to feel like shackles, it all becomes a bit hard, and the exit looks inviting…
We don’t want to see all that brilliant energy fading; we want the exciting businesses that come to the Coast to survive and thrive, not start the nosedive.
There seems to be a tremendous amount of support for the startup community—but what about when it gets tricky when scaling is imminent? What then? What about when you need to make big decisions, but you’ve never made decisions like that before in your life and navigating it seems daunting and scary (sometimes you’re doing it alone as the CEO of this empire you have created)? What about when you have leadership or team issues, and throwing new people at it causes more problems… What then?
That’s where Next Level comes in. With 20 years of commercial experience, 18 of which were spent owning her own marketing consultancy and a business advisory service, Angie Hammond has brought a new concept to the Coast, and she has 16 fabulous advisors by her side, too.
Next Level is for scaling companies ready to take the next step. It’s for companies that admit they might not have all the answers, are ready to ask for help and strategically carve a new pathway forward towards growth.
With a range of services encompassing educational workshops and masterclasses, advisory board-style meetings and mentoring, this program is a complete support mechanism for your growing business.
Our advisory board meetings give you access to our panel of over 16 advisors (our brains trust)—you choose which advisor you need each quarter. Each business receives monthly mentoring.
The program helps you learn, make good decisions and be supported throughout the process. You will be held accountable for the plans made during the meetings so you reach your goals. It’s not a nice chat, then, crickets—we all have a genuine interest in helping your business thrive, so join us on the journey to the next level.
