I started Bx back in 2015 after almost two decades of owning my own small businesses. From tech start-ups to retail and hospitality business, I have owned more than a dozen 6 and 7 figure businesses over the past decade and a half, generating almost 100 million in revenue and through this time have become a passionate advocate for small business. As the Founder of successful organisations like Integrated Workforce Solutions (IWS), as well as operating 9 retail and hospitality businesses, I have faced many challenges and have learned an incredible amount, including what it takes to be successful in business. When I started Bx, my goal was to create a business focussed on training and education for business owners to create a business for the life they dreamed of. Through my time in small business, I have seen many business owners and businesses, come and go. And I have learned that more than 50% of businesses fail in their first 12-months and more than 90% will not make it 10-years! I have had my fair share of ups and downs, and have developed my roadmap for success, which I have not only implemented successfully across my businesses, but in my clients businesses over the past 5 years. In 2016, the networking arm of Bx kicked off with 9 groups across Sydney and a group in Canberra. This fast became the incredible success that is today known as Bx Networking. With thousands of events across Australia and New Zealand, and thousands of members across all of our membership levels, we have become the fastest growing community of business owners and entrepreneurs across Australia, and now New Zealand! Bx is currently xpanding into Europe & North America for our Live & Local events, and continues our Global Online events – bringing members of the Bx community across the globe together!
