About Me
Hi. I'm Dean Tolhurst, known as 'The Fixer'.
As my name suggests I bring expertise to small and medium size enterprises to assist in any aspect of business mentoring. I am an experienced entrepreneur with a background in several trades. I know what it takes to create, develop and pivot small businesses.
I want to share my expertise with others who are seeking to work with me, a person who has experienced success and failures in business. I am here to walk beside you whilst you start, grow or transition your business.
Although I have an MBA, my most valued asset is my intuition and experience. I’m a down to earth person providing common sense industry and personal experience and advice.

How We Can Help
Define Direction
If you are ready to turn an idea into a business, but you're not sure how, the first step is to consult someone who has been successful in business by learning from their mistakes.
Walk With You
Unlike other business coaches, I work with people by getting to know their passions and what makes them tick. I identify gaps in business knowledge and help to fill those gaps to find better solutions to your business problems.
Link You In
I will research and link you into the best value for money services to ensure you get to where you need to be.
Back You Up
I've got your back when you need help to problem-solve immediate issues and plan risk minimisation. Sometimes you just need to talk it out and I'm here to brainstorm and make suggestions. Think of me as a sounding board.
Systemise and Automate
I suggest ways to improve systems and devise automation solutions to minimise wasted time and money.
Improve Efficiencies
I can identify gaps in scheduling and processes to make them more efficient.

Client Testimonials
Starting a new business was an overwhelming and daunting prospect for me; I didn’t know where to start, what I needed to do and what I needed to know (Google can only help so much). With Dean’s support, I have learned and achieved so much in the time we’ve been meeting. Getting guidance, ideas and input, another’s perspective - and be held accountable for them each time we met - has been super motivating and encouraging for me. I wasn’t sure if I could do this; now I know I can. I feel like I’ve got someone in my corner. Thank you so much Dean.
Michaela
I was very grateful to work with Dean as a coachee. Dean combines real world experience in starting and running business with wisdom about mental health, personal capacity and thought patterns.
Jon Mend Property MaintenanceI've found Dean to be humble and a great listener and encourager. He is assertive but not arrogant with me as a client and that makes it easy to get stuck into some the issues in my own business that have arisen.
He's able to out his finger on the root cause of issues by asking smart questions that really make you think, and guiding your thinking towards practical solutions.
My business and personal outlook for this venture have both improved greatly since working under Deans coaching. Thank you!
