Why Australian SMEs need a great business consultant
You wouldn’t dream enduring 12 rounds in a boxing ring without extensive training, guidance and preparation, as well as not having the right people in your corner. The chaotic, and often challenging world of Australian business requires and demands the same level of care, dedication and attention. Leading Australian business consultant in beauty, fashion, health and lifestyle, Olivia Jenkins, is urging businesses to join forces with a good business consultant to super charge their business into a spectrum of profitability and growth.
One of the biggest drawcards to working with a sound and whole business consultant is the time and resources saved in making the right decisions from the outset.
“Founders and Directors of business are often blinded by the glamour of owning the business but fail miserably with the business machinations which comes with it. Connect with a good and reputable business consultant who is able to direct and guide you from the get-go in how to plan, manage and execute your business, maximising opportunities for success.” Olivia said.
“I am a big believer in working with clients to set a strong foundation for the brand including a well thought out strategy before we commence execution.
“When things are meticulously planned, we know the numbers and what we are dealing with, we can then confidently do the work. The results are magical.”
According to the 28-year-old entrepreneur, discipline and accountability are two significant reasons for engaging with a business consultant. Olivia says, “business owners need to be wholly responsible in mastering every element of their business. If you have a laissez-faire attitude with minimal answerability, you are doomed to fail. Investment of time and resources are needed and that where the business consultant can guide and monitor you.”
“I don’t shy away from the fact that we ask the tough questions, we challenge your thinking, and we want what’s best for the business – even if it means giving out the tough love. Many businesses cannot see the forest through the trees. I am there to clear the carnage and create clarity and order.”
“As long as I can remember in my career, before embarking on my journey as a consultant, I knew the importance of a good business consultant and how they can help brands grow. ⠀⠀

“Not only does it provide a saving in time, money and resources, but it also provides a level of outside input and valuable experience from someone who has worked in many businesses in your industry.
“When you finally find a good one, they are worth their weight in gold and can bring much fortune and knowledge to your business.”

Olivia has four clear things for a business to consider when starting the search for the ultimate business consultant:
- Does the consultant have strong industry experience?
- Does the consultant have the relevant qualifications to advise me in my business?
- What is the consultants communication style and is it a good match for me?
- What are the values of the consultant and are they aligned with mine?
“The journey with your business consultant may often be challenging and confronting, but the end results are the most rewarding. Believe me, you come out fighting!” Olivia adds.
