"I'm about 30% of the way through Ian Markram's book, and it's already changed how I'm approaching my business. In the days since its launch, I've written a new business plan, revamped my website, prepared 15 thought leadership articles and started recruiting a 2IC. At times, it feels like Ian has written a letter from one Ian to another. The book brings together 30 years of experience and a deep commitment to coaching and helping businesses succeed. It's an inspiring, essential and practical read for anyone building a small or medium-sized consultancy in today's world."
Ian Peake, Founder and Principal Consultant, Peake Consulting
"Ian helped me step back and look at the consultancy as a business rather than a collection of projects. Build the business you actually want to own, not one that keeps you permanently busy."
Ian Peake, Peake Consulting
"Ian challenged us at every step. Since working with him our business has not gone up one level, it has gone up several. Multiple revenue streams, multiple services, and a whole new product, all within about six to nine months."
Mark Powditch, MB Test Partners
"If I had listened to Ian two years earlier, when he kept telling us to niche down and focus, it would have saved our business about a year and a half of stagnation. I should have listened."
Glynn Williams, Emphasys
"Ian takes a very practical approach to building IT services businesses. He has been there and done it before."
Matthew Brown, Founder, Datalynk
More named founders tell their stories inside the book, and the next intake is already on the record in its back pages.
