I KEEP six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.

Why: It's incredibly fun and it matters - when my clients fulfill their dreams, it changes lives, including their own.
When: We talk daily, weekly, monthly... whenever you need me.
Where: Online via phone, Skype, email... Or in person in Toronto, at CSI Annex or at a place of your choosing.

About me...
I've been helping small business owners since 2005 while also starting and running several of my own. I’ve sold a couple of them and continue to run a couple of them. Here are the main ones:
BetterCare.Online
In early 2017, I was wishing there was a way I could speak to a naturopathic doctor on a regular basis without having to pay $150-$200 each time. I noticed that technology was finally helping healthcare come online in a secure way that made it much more affordable and convenient for people, but nobody was doing it with natural healthcare, so I built it.
Smiling Gardener
This is where I run a 12 month online organic gardening course as well as selling organic fertilizers to gardeners and farmers in the U.S. I worked hard on it for the first 3 years, and now it pays my bills with about 2 hours of work on average per week, plus I'm helping people around the world and there is no better feeling.
Gardener's Pantry
I built and sold this business, and continue to maintain the website as well as consulting on marketing. The site sells organic fertilizers. The new owner said, "What I especially like about the new website, besides the solid information, is the nice calm tone, and how your respectful but 100% dedicated attitude is shining through."
Heather Nicholds
I co-founded this business with my ex-wife Heather. She’s a holistic nutritionist who offers cooking classes, meal plans and consultations. Similarly to 'Smiling Gardener', she now generates passive income from the site while helping others improve their health. She's amazing. If you're on a plant-based diet and need help with food, check her out.
How To Start...
My rates depend on how much time we spend together.
But so you have an idea, most clients are in the $350-$650/month range, although it can be 1/2X or 2X these numbers depending on the situation.
I ask all new clients to do an introductory session with me to make sure we’re right for each other. There's no fee and it takes 80 minutes. You can schedule that down below.
Alternatively, you can send me an email at phil@makechange.online, tell me a bit about your needs, and we'll go from there 🙂
