If you are anything like me the vision of your life after your corporate career is filled with flexibility, free time (to enjoy your passions) and stimulation while still being able to make a reasonable income.
Well this is all actually achievable and as an added bonus you can get to help others on your journey.
Sounds too good to be true?
I must admit that at first life after corporate was a little scary; taking the leap into the unknown, looking for paid work, getting rejected for being too old or too experienced, surely someone could benefit from my skills and knowledge?
After helping out at a start up firm I finally found my niche. I had always thought of myself as a good listener, easy to get along with and can give well found advice. It turns out that this is exactly what most small business owners in New Zealand need!
New Zealand has the highest instance of SME’s in the world that do not have a governance structure in place. These businesses are formed with the vision that they will provide freedom, lifestyle and cash for their entrepreneurial owners. Typically single owners, husband and wife and small partnerships; so where do they get there direction and advise from? The fact is that mostly they get little or no advise and it is no secret that most fail to reach their true potential or just fail; isn’t that a waste? Absolutely it’s a waste, all that time effort and money (and in some cases marriages) lost all for the lack of some good advice and governance!
So how do we put the two together; the great resource of highly experienced individuals looking for the good life after corporate and the SME business owners that desperately need some help (whether they know it or not!) to help make their business deliver their dreams.
At Oxygen8 our motto is to “Breathe new life into small business” our firm dedicates itself to delivering a well proven business model suitable for the vast majority of SME’s. The model is based on paring an experienced “Business Success Partner” with an SME business owner for the long term. Each “Business Success Partner” is responsible, in conjunction with the business owner, for developing and implementing an individually tailored “Business Success Programme”.
Each partner can work with up to 10 SME’s (sometimes more) so their costs are spread and their benefit is leveraged delivering results that are well in excess of the individual investment.
Surly this is a no brainer? A perfect synergy directing experienced resource to support the foundation of the New Zealand economy; the hard working SME business owner!
