Areas of Expertise

Host of Kochie's Business Builders

Best known as co-host of the Seven Network’s popular breakfast program Sunrise, this follicly-challenged accounting graduate never set out to be a TV star.

His 27-year career began as a newspaper finance journalist and continued to see him become one of Australia’s leading business journalists and commentators. In fact, he was recently named Australia's Best Finance Journalist by the readers of Banking and Finance magazine.

Along the way he became an advocate for small business and it’s a role he still relishes. In 2007 he was recognised as the Small Business Champion by the Council of Small Business of Australia (COSBOA).

Communicating with customers

It’s vital to think about whether the way you’re using technology to link with clients and potential clients is actually benefiting your company or making you seem prehistoric.
Getting publicity for your business

After close to 30 years working in the media, it’s easy to take for granted what a mystery it can remain to those outside of it.
Good help is hard to find

As the old familiar saying goes “good help is hard to find”, and it seems more and more small and medium-sized business owners are battling with this issue on a regular basis.
Good time management skills

The more I think about it, the more I realise that the really busy people I know are the ones most likely to have good time management skills.
Marketing schmarketing

Have you ever been talking to someone in marketing and got so overwhelmed by all the jargon you just gave up? Like any profession, marketing has its own language which doesn’t make much sense if you’re not part of the group.
Revisit your business plan

Established businesses often have plans that are years old; plans which have been sitting in a filing cabinet since the early days. But particularly if you’re seeking to take your business to the next stage it should be updated.
Taking a "bigger picture" approach to growth

One of the greatest benefits of being a small business is the speed at which it’s possible to get things done. Decisions can be made and implemented almost on the spot, often by just one person.
The dream of owning your own business

For many of us, owning a small business is on par with the house-on-a-quarter- acre-block as constituting the great Australian dream. And with property prices the way they are, it’s infinitely more achievable!
What makes your business strategy competitive?

What is a “business strategy”? We bandy the term around all the time, maybe to the point where it’s stopped really meaning anything, or at least to the point where it’s so broad it could be applied to everything.
The benefits of exporting

For a country so far removed physically from trading partners in the United States and Europe it never ceases to amaze me just how prolific Australian companies have become in the export arena… and not just the big players.

And the winners are ...

The Kochie's Business Builders team, in conjunction with our sponsors, has now selected the 14 winners of the NRMA Business Insurance Competition. Find out if you're one of them here ...
Let technology help drive your small business

Technology in business is not about having all the latest gadgets to play with, it’s about understanding and selecting what’s out there that will let you do what you do better, faster, cheaper or all three.
Spring clean your business

Technically it might be a bit early for a spring-clean, but I’ve always thought the new financial year is a great time to tidy up a small business ... in the broadest sense of the word.
Creative ways to distribute your product

As a small business owner, it can be difficult finding easy, cost-effective ways of distributing your product. Right? Wrong. All you need to do is think outside the box, and take a creative approach to distribution.
And the winner is...

The Kochie's Business Builders team has now selected the winner of the 'Win a Coffee with Kochie' competition. We are proud to announce that the winner is:
The engine room of Australian business

The small business sector is often called the ‘engine room of Australian business’, which is why the Rudd government didn’t forget us when handing down its $10.4 billion economic stimulus package last month.
Back in your box scrooge

Despite all the doom and gloom, it’s too early to cancel Christmas just yet. There are plenty of things small businesses can be doing to help boost the company coffers in the lead up to the festive season.
Focusing on new business opportunities

The world has changed and there’s no getting around the fact that the economic drivers in the Australian and global economy have totally changed since the start of the year.
Business intelligence - it's not just who you know

You can have all the networks in the world, but without great data about your most profitable market segments and key trends in your industry it’s impossible to make the right decisions about which areas of the business to focus on.
