About Results With Club Red Coach and Mentor Tony Inman

Results and Experience I Bring to My Clients (And What You Can Expect if You Choose to Become a Client)

  • Tony Inman has a business and life philosophyLeadership and Management Experience – In total I have over 35 years of management experience and I’ve set up around 20 businesses, some of which were very successful with amazing results and some less so, but I learned a lot from both sides of the coin.

More of that story later, though for a quick summary, I have a background in hotels; retail; insurance; other tourist accommodation; hospitality; adventure tours and charters; a vehicle dealership; vehicle servicing; hire cars; vehicle transporting; general cleaning; an employment agency; office furniture relocations; events; contract cleaning and now coaching and consulting.

 

  • Coaching & Mentoring Experience – I have spent thousands of hours coaching, training and developing people – my own staff, then managers, then clients and their teams. I was also a mentor at Curtin University’s Centre for Entrepreneurship.

 

  • Client’s Results -It is through dealing with my own personal and business crises and having to re-invent myself many times, plus helping other people to overcome daunting obstacles to do the same thing, that I became both a creator of change and a catalyst for change.

“Change is constantly occurring around you, so if you’re not changing and adapting on the inside, then you are setting yourself up for trouble. Hence my tagline of ‘The Change Catalyst’.”

My clients experience results such as:

  • Greater clarity around your life and business goals.
  • Greater awareness of what is holding you back, whether it’s what’s going on inside your head, in terms of your mindset, attitude or behaviour; or whether it’s skills and knowledge gaps.
  • Strategic plans and the tools and techniques to make them work.
  • Accountability through supportive coaching and mentoring to follow through and get results.
  • More control of their work/life balance by being more effective and productive.
  • Profitable and successful businesses that will fund their life goals – i.e. more money, more time with loved ones (Most of my clients go on more holidays and with more confidence!)

My Philosophy

“My goal with my business is to help create businesses that are built to last and to help people to enjoy memorable and meaningful lives.”

Tony Inman coaches business owners in how to create meaningful livesFor me, I want businesses that give me that joy of helping others to achieve the above, plus give my family the lifestyle that I want for us. My partner, Jo and I love to travel the world and I get to work the hours I want, by arrangement with my clients. I even get to do the things I love doing, like scuba diving, playing volleyball and soccer, playing guitar and writing books – my list of things is quite long! As an example, in 2014, we travelled to South America, climbing the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, visiting the Iguazu falls, the Amazon jungle, Rio de Janeiro, Argentina and the Mayan temples of Mexico.

I believe that my income is limited by only my ambition or my willingness to invest time and it’s the same for you too. I have put in place a solid, happy team on whom I can depend and I strive to be a great boss.

In short, I DO work hard and conscientiously, but I also aim to work SMART. That’s one of the mantras I teach my clients. Having a great life is more important to me than dying with pots of money. Nevertheless, I aim to make enough to fund the lifestyle I want and to help my family and the causes I care about.

Tony Inman is an entrepreneur, business and mindset coach, consultant and author 

I always had the feeling that I was put on this Earth for some greater purpose and that I was meant to achieve something.

You could certainly argue that I’ve already done that, just by having two wonderful children and by the interactions I’ve had with so many amazing people from all over the world.

Maybe it’s not unusual to have that feeling, but in my case it has driven me to want to learn more, to become more and to contribute more. I always wanted to go into business, but for many years I had no clue what it was that I should do.

Today, as you read this, I am Managing Director of Club Red Pty Ltd, based in Perth Western Australia and founded in 1996. My company currently has two divisions a cleaning business, Club Red Strata Cleaning, where we improve people’s lives by taking care of the strata complexes where they live and work; and a Coaching/Consulting/Mentoring business, Club Red Inspiration, helping owners of small and medium businesses to grow and consolidate their livelihood and lead happier and more fulfilling lives. The company is also a registered exporter and over the years, through Club Red I have operated many small businesses. In fact it’s one of my passions to turn concepts into realities.
