“Why I Started Business Mentoring Australia” – Melissa Peacock
The Turning Point: From Burnout to Breakthrough
I didn’t start this business because everything was perfect — I started it because everything wasn’t.
I was managing multiple ventures, juggling client demands, mentoring others, raising a family, and building templates at midnight while replying to DMs during school pick-up. I was the walking definition of “doing too much” and feeling like it still wasn’t enough. I’d paid for courses that sat untouched. I’d joined masterminds where nothing ever got done. I’d hired help, but without proper systems, they just created more work.
Sound familiar?
That’s because I was my ideal client: a business owner overwhelmed, under-supported, and constantly stuck between big ideas and zero bandwidth.
The Problem I Faced
Despite having experience in government, community services, strategy, and systems — I couldn’t find a service that did more than talk at me.
Everyone offered coaching.
But no one offered completion.
I didn’t need more theory. I needed:
- Done-for-you implementation
- Actionable templates
- Affordable support that felt like a team behind me
- Accountability without fluff
- AI and automation tools I could actually use
That gap between “knowing what to do” and “having it done” became the problem I set out to solve.
What I Built Instead
Business Mentoring Australia was born out of frustration and fuelled by a fierce belief that small business owners deserve better.
We’re not another coaching program.
We’re your growth partner.
We roll up our sleeves with you.
We set up the automations.
We build the funnels.
We map the strategy.
If you need to hire a VA, we’re here for you.
We’ll help you launch the offer, create the content, run the ads and fix what’s broken.
We fill the gap that’s costing small business owners $30K–$70K a year in missed revenue, burnout, and stalled momentum.
The Transformation We Now Deliver
We help time-poor founders go from “winging it” to winning with it:
- From chaos to clarity
- From overwhelm to ownership
- From isolated and second-guessing to supported and systemised
Whether you’re dreaming up your business or stuck mid-launch, we meet you where you’re at and build alongside you.
We simplify the hard stuff.
We don’t just give you tools — we help you use them. And we don’t leave until the job is done.
Why It Matters
Because when small businesses thrive, communities do too.
Every system we set up, every funnel we launch, every email sequence or chatbot we build is about giving founders their life back, their time back, and their confidence back.
Business isn’t meant to be this hard.
And now?
It doesn’t have to be.
The Brand Promise
At Business Mentoring Australia, we don’t just tell you how to grow — we grow it with you.
