Clarity as a tool

Honest feedback is important and valuable. I tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Origin

The roots of my work: How it all began

I learned early on that a good business plan remains just a dream without capital. In 2005, I started my first company in Sydney, Australia with my own savings and a small loan from my parents. I grew the company over six years and then sold it.

This experience as a solo founder plus the last 10 years as a startup coach became the foundation for everything that Ready Steady Raise is today.
