Rediscover your passion in business with expert mentoring

Your business matters.
Your business matters. But you matter too. My mission as a mentor/coach is to help you find enjoyment from your business and to equip you with personalized strategies to ensure its long-term success.
It’s personal. Every business has unique challenges, and every businessperson has their own personality and favoured priorities.
How we help
If you could wave a magic wand and change two things about your business, what would they be?
Most people choose to solve money problems and people problems. Sound like you? I don’t have a magic wand, but I do know that the first step to a solution is clearly defining the problem. And that when you do the right analysis of a problem, the answer usually presents itself.

Nigel helped me understand things I didn’t even know I needed.
Being a business owner, you start, you evolve, and before you know it, it’s gotten complex and there’s loads of things to consider. Nigel helped me navigate through what I thought were complicated issues and made them seem simple. He related to me on my level and made it easy to understand
Doing the DiSC program, too, was a revelation — I thought I knew my staff, but this helped me really understand how to relate and communicate with them effectively. (He looks an awful lot like Remington Steele too.)
Relevant, insightful, and real experience.
Nigel Burson has been helping me as a business coach and mentor on a weekly basis since January 2017. Before we started, I was hesitant. I had not gained a great deal from coaching in the past. But I knew that I needed assistance to grow and move forward.
I’m happy to say that, in just one session with Nigel, I gained more from his expertise and experience than any previous coaching sessions. The advice he gives is relevant, insightful, and comes from real experience and not just business theory.
I can meet challenges with confidence.
From the moment I met Nigel, I was confident that his knowledge and experience was going to be a huge asset — and I have not been disappointed.
He has helped me navigate the challenges of small business ownership with clear, precise thinking and innovative ideas, so I can meet these challenges with confidence and ultimately achieve great results.
I look forward to continuing my working relationship with Nigel, as I know he still has a huge amount of expertise to give that will benefit my business.
Setting goals, taking on challenges, and growing from it.
Richard and I started our cleaning business in Ashburton 2 ½ years ago on a very part-time basis. It was only 16 months ago that we registered and trademarked our company under the name of Jan Maree Cleaning Services Ltd.
Being a business owner is not an easy task at the start with so much to learn. That was when we took on Nigel as our business mentor. He comes with a lot of knowledge, he challenges you, and he takes you out of your comfort zone.
