Jeremiah Akladious, business strategy coach and mentor.
I've spent 30 years running real businesses: 15 in retail hardware through economic downturns, then 15 operating a B2B franchise that went from the red to Franchise of the Year. Today I work 1:1 with business owners from Sydney, across Australia and around the world, online.

I've been where you are. More than once.
For 15 years I ran a retail hardware business. I traded through economic downturns, and learned the hard way which decisions keep a business alive and which ones quietly sink it.
Then I bought a B2B franchise that was in the red. It had just lost its number one client, half of its turnover. I restructured the business, rebuilt the product range and service offering, and put sales at the centre of everything. Within four years it was named Franchise of the Year. I went on to operate it for 15 years, winning multiple Highest Sales Growth awards across the national group along the way.
I know what it's like to make the big call with nobody to check it against. Strategy Within exists so you don't have to do that alone, and so the next decision is one you back.

Not just a coach. Not just a consultant. More useful than either.
In one conversation I might challenge your thinking, hand you a framework, share what 30 years in business cost me to learn, and build a skill you'll use on Monday. The label doesn't matter. What you leave the room with does.
