AI is the tool. Purpose is the point.
Look, if you're ambitious and driven and feel called to something bigger, yeah you, then you're in the right place.
Here's the thing. Everyone's talking about AI right now. And most small business owners I meet have tried it, got nothing useful out of it, and quietly gave up, or just found it too overwhelming. Sound familiar?
I spent 25 years in IT and telecommunications before becoming a business mentor. I use these tools every single day. And I can show you how to actually get results from them, fast.
I run hands-on AI for Business workshops, four hours, small group, and you walk out with something working in your business by lunchtime.
If you're a Noosa local, come in person. If you're not, get in touch and I will let you know how to learn AI online.
But here's what I've learned after 10 years mentoring people to build businesses. The tech is only part of it.
If you want to build a business that actually lights you up, you need more than tools. You need to know what you're building and why. You need clarity on what you're offering, who you love serving, and how to keep it simple enough to actually do.
That's what Dream Lab is for.
I offer a six-week program, live online or self-paced, that takes you through the foundations of a purpose-driven business. We cover your passion, simplicity, your inspirational offer, your ideal client, and how to market and run it all. And yes, AI runs through the whole thing, because that's how we keep it simple and doable alongside your real life.
At Dream Lab we have weekly calls, real community, and a place to be honest about where you're at.
To explore where you're at right now, take the assessment below. I'll email you the best next step, whether that's a workshop, the free monthly session, or jumping straight into Dream Lab.
This Is For You . . .
If You Lay Awake At Night Thinking:
"I believe the world could be better and I have an idea for how."
"I'd love to launch a business if I knew it would work."
"I want more adventure, fulfilment and fun"
Then Yeah, This Is For You!
About Mike
I've had a blessed life. Not because everything was perfect, but because I was willing to give things a go.
Built a house in Mexico by hand. Traveled the world with my wife (and kids later in life). Left a 25-year IT career to find myself again in Canada.
Every good thing in my life came from saying yes to adventure, taking on challenges and be willing to follow my dreams, even when I had no idea how it would turn out.
Now I support professionals who feel called to something more meaningful, test their business ideas, build something that matters, in a way that is right for you.
Because you don't have to choose between security and dreams. You just need the right approach.

About The Dream Lab Program
Program Structure / How It Works
What's Dream Lab?
It's like your own personal lab for testing ideas.
You get hands-on training, expert guidance, and others on the same journey. This is about creating a safe, regular environment where you can step away from the everyday grind and really explore what's possible, you know, working through whether this business idea could actually work in real life.
You'll follow a proven framework to identify what's most important to you, and you'll have community support with real conversations to help you decide clearly on your next move.
Dream Lab is a community, with weekly calls, training, and individual support to help you on this journey.
There's a 6-week online foundation program that you can complete online at your own pace, or in person once a week with me, and a maximum of 8 others. This is essential to learn the framework we follow, so you get the most out of your experience.
Dream Lab is a mix of education, coaching, and community catch-ups. Each session focuses on a different part of your business – and you get practical tools to test each piece straight away.
You'll work out what you actually want to do and who you want to help.
Figure out simple systems and strategy. Develop a marketing plan that actually works for getting your message out there. All of this is designed for people who want to make a real impact, especially in their later working years.

Who This Isn't For
Look, we're dreamers who want to live a life of passion and purpose, in a financially sustainable way, so we can keep living a meaningful life. That's what this is about.
If you want to start a business solely for financial gain, there are many other great programs out there that would be more suitable for you. And that's fine! But that's not what we're about here.
Quick Call with Mike?
In 15 minutes I will answer any questions and explain the program, or AI training. Our community is orientated to decisions and action, this is the first step.
You will get a Google Meet link, but if you prefer a phone call, SMS chat or other, that is fine too!
