SOUND FAMILIAR?

You hired a team.
Why are you still doing everything?

  • Every decision comes back to you.
  • You delegate the job, then check and fix it.
  • A day off means another day catching up.
  • More staff means more people to manage.

More instructions won’t solve it. Your team needs clear ownership, better decisions and leaders who can carry the work without you.

Start by finding your biggest bottleneck

YOUR FIRST STEP · THE GAME PLAN CALL

Leave knowing
what to change first.

A practical conversation with Matt about where the business is now, what you want back, and what needs to change to get there.

You don’t need a polished business plan. Bring an honest picture of what’s working—and what still depends on you.

IF WE’RE THE RIGHT FIT · THE ARENA PROGRAM

The plan is the start.
Arena helps you put it to work.

12 months of practical leadership implementation for you and your leadership team. Built for $1M–$5M trades, mining and construction businesses.

KNOW

Make the expectations clear.

Direction, priorities and standards your people can act on without asking you every time.

OWN

Move responsibility with the work.

People bring options, make decisions and follow through—not just hand the problem back.

BUILD

Develop your next layer of leaders.

Grow the capability to carry more work and support more people without using more of you.

What’s included in the 12 months?
  • 27 leadership playbooks across nine capability areas.
  • Separate weekly owner and team workshops, plus on-demand one-to-one coaching.
  • Momentum Sessions and three-hour intensives every two months.
  • Owner Leverage Toolkit™, Traffic Lights, 1-3-1 and playbook-specific AI Power-Ups™.
  • Two 2½-day live events a year for owners and teams.
  • Roughly two hours a week of learning and coaching, plus implementation.

Arena is a paid programme, not a quick fix. The Game Plan call helps you decide whether it’s the right next move.

Mick Scotney, founder of Awakened Business

BUILT IN THE TRADES

Practical leadership.
From someone who knows the work.

Mick spent 15 years in the trades. Arena brings that operating experience into leadership development for you and the people who need to step up with you.

No pretending the business will change by watching a course. The work happens with your team, in your business.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

A few straight answers.

What do I get from the call?

A focused conversation with Matt about your business, what you want to change and what keeps pulling you back in. You’ll work out what to tackle first and whether Arena is the right support. You leave with practical next steps, whether you join or not.

Do I have to join the programme?

No. Booking a Game Plan call does not commit you to joining Arena. If there’s a fit, you’ll discuss the paid programme, investment and terms before making a decision.

Is this for my business?

Arena is designed for owners of trades, mining, construction and related contracting businesses doing around $1M–$5M a year. You already have a team and want it to take more ownership. Your individual situation and fit are explored on the call.

How much time does Arena take?

Arena is a 12-month implementation programme. Allow roughly two hours a week for learning and coaching, plus implementation in your business. It takes work—not just watching content.

Does my leadership team get involved?

Yes. Owners and teams have separate weekly workshops, practical tools and opportunities to implement together. Your leadership team is included, so you don’t have to translate every idea back to them yourself.

What is the investment?

Arena is a paid, 12-month programme. The investment, support and terms are discussed on your Game Plan call once your business and goals are understood.

What if I join and it isn’t right for me?

The offer includes a 30-day “love it or leave it” period. You build your Game Plan, experience the coaching and start implementing. Confirm the full exit and payment terms on the call; this is not an unconditional refund or a guarantee of financial results.
