Helping businesses to scale with confidence
“You’re the proud director of your own business, you’ve built something amazing and you’re ready to scale. But when every decision starts and ends with you, things can get a bit lonely. I know this because I’ve been there myself.“
I’m Ian Rummels. I’m a business mentor and I know first-hand the importance of having someone who is on your side while you’re building your business. Someone to share ideas with, someone to ask for advice, even a shoulder to cry on when things get tough.
That’s why I created Your Business Ally. Drawing on my own experience of starting, scaling and selling several successful businesses, I’ll share my big wins AND my mistakes, so that you can focus on what works for you.
My goal is to help companies grow quickly, safely and sustainably. I’m accessible and flexible and I know from experience that finances are often a limiting factor when seeking business mentoring support. I’ll work with you to create a personalised investment plan that fits you and your budget.
Drop me a line and let’s chat about how I can support you and your business on the path to success.
How can a business mentor help me?
I’m naturally empathetic and a great listener. I’m a confidential sounding board when you need advice and emotional support when things are difficult.
If you’re struggling to see a path through the trees, I’ll bring clarity by helping you to identify your purpose and focus on your priorities.
You’re not alone on your business journey. The emotions you’re experiencing are normal and I’ll provide the reassurance and support you need to navigate those feelings.
I’ll always be on your side, championing you and encouraging you to be the best version of yourself. But that also means I’m not afraid to challenge your thinking if I believe you’ll achieve your goals by doing things differently.
I only work with people I trust, people who share my values of honesty and respect. I’ll connect you with good people, leveraging my contacts to create growth opportunities for you.
