Looking to network with business owners from around NZ?

Join us at TNG Online Friday 18 November 10.30-11.30am on Zoom to hear Ross Bymolt from Boss Level (previously Busy Body) delivering “How to perform at 100%”.

Ross believes most people want to look and feel amazing, but aren’t sure which option is right for them. There are so many generic ‘one size fits all’ methods constantly bombarding us. With Genetic health profiling, we create the most accurate and detailed health & fitness blueprint, unique to you. We use this blueprint to find ‘your way’ to hit your health goals, and create a plan that works for your life.

We help high achievers reach optimal performance and get the most out of life.

If you’re trying to perform at 100% but you’re caught up in all the busy-ness of life, you might be feeling tired, burnt out or stressed. Perhaps your relationships have been suffering, and happiness has disappeared from your life.

The reason is that you’re living and working in a way that doesn’t suit your unique biology. We are all created different, and we need our own plan to maximise our inherent strengths and minimise our weaknesses.

The Boss Level Optimal Performance program uses the latest science in personalised lifestyle solutions to create your unique optimal performance blueprint, and step you through your lifestyle priorities to achieve your own Boss Level!

Bio

"Hannah has been self employed for the last 15 years owning her own businesses, so understands the struggles that small business owners face. She has a passion for connecting the right people together, and helping with small business growth.

Currently Hannah owns, and manages, Rapid Exposure Social Media Management & Coaching, and also Laser Plumbing in Kerikeri.

Hannah has a passion for making small improvements in the mental health space, specifically around awareness and suicide prevention, and has made it a focus this year to bring access into the local community by starting wellness events / seminars.

Hannah is an extroverted person, trapped in solo and sometimes lonely jobs. TNG helped enormously by connecting her with like-minded individuals and says "I've found my tribe thanks to TNG. When the opportunity came along to move into the AGM position, it naturally fit with my work ethic of growth and striving to succeed and so, I take on the challenge of growing the Northland networking scene further.

When Hannah isn't working, you'll find her running around after her 3 teenage girls."

Bio

"When entrusting an agent to represent them, sellers are placing significant responsibility in their hands. Elaine Tourangi not only acknowledges this responsibility but embodies it daily while representing property sellers in your area.
Elaine's reputation is built on principles of customer care,
meticulous attention to detail, and achieving three crucial seller objectives: securing a top market result, achieving a sale within a reasonable timeframe, and ensuring an exceptional and rewarding real estate experience for every client.
To attain great selling results, an agent needs robust systems and support to manage every detail effectively. The pinnacle of selling success is reached by adhering to a proven formula.

Here are key points about Elaine Tourangi's approach:

  • Proudly aligned with Arizto Limited, a reputable NZ company.
  • A digital full-service agency with a fixed fee of 2% +GST for successfully selling a property.
  • All documentation is handled online, ensuring efficiency and ease of interaction.

Being a fully digital agency allows Elaine to dedicate more time to working for her sellers. Remember, hope is not a strategy, and luck is not a factor – choose Elaine Tourangi for a reliable and strategic real estate experience."

Jenny Aitken

Area Group Manager

BIO: I am a mortgage broker/adviser based in Auckland. Providing advice and helping you through the process of getting a mortgage, giving insight on your mortgage structure, and accessing the best rates is what I do, whether you are buying a home for the first time, looking at refinancing, or want to purchase a second (or third, or fourth…) property.

I have access to all types of lending. As well as first home buyers and investors, I help owners get money for renovations, debt consolidation, land purchase so you can build your own home, and also 'asset loans' - for when you have the security, but not the income.

Although the majority of my client base is on the North Shore of Auckland, I have mortgage clients nation wide.

I started my working life at Westpac, travelled overseas, and studied for a BA in media. In 2008 I established my own business HUE, and in 2011 it was named in the Deloitte's Fast 50 (as it was then). I was also named Entrepreneur of the Year in the Kitomba Business Awards. Once I sold up, I moved back to finance in 2013, and established JAM in 2016.

​I get what it’s like to want to buy your own place - but not know how to start the process (when I bought my first home, I had no idea!). I also know how to break down the process of buying an investment and making sure you have the correct structure in your borrowing to maximise your opportunities: be that tax, interest or convenience.

I am totally committed to providing individual business owners and corporates with strategic thinking and creative solutions for their visual communication needs. My aim is to provide solutions that work and at a price that provides great value and transparency in working together.

Since moving to New Zealand I have come to appreciate the kiwi lifestyle and the beauty of this country. This is where I re-engaged my love of photography when digital imaging came of age.{{ }}

Photography is now an integral part of my personal and professional life. I provide commercial photography for my clients whether it be products, people or shooting environments for use in print or online.

Jared (Jed) Roberts

Area Group Manager

I am Jed –
And here’s why I want to help you achieve your health and fitness goals – I myself was scared to walk into a gym to get fit and look better because I was worried what others might think however this challenge is nothing compared to looking in the mirror and seeing something you don’t want to. Gratefully I now know how important health and fitness is and how amazing it will make you feel. Have you ever seen people running down the road in what looked to be excruciating pain?? It really doesn’t have to be like that! Let’s take a look at some examples… Have you ever been told you must go to the gym to lose weight – well what if you hate the gym? Or you should run for 30 minutes or don’t bother – what if you hate running or don’t have 30 minutes up your sleeve? You might have been recommended a DIEt because it worked for that person – you may think the food in that DIEt is yuck, so why would you? Maybe a pill to help you lose weight (burn fat) – did you take one to gain weight… NOO. You already know the answers to these questions, they’re all just common sense so keep it simple and ignore the confusing jargon out there.

You can find your shortcut to good health in Shirley at 39 Sabina Street, Christchurch, which is very close to The Palms Shopping Mall. Ideal if you need to grab some bits after a session or perhaps just enjoy your favourite coffee.

          Are you considering selling a property in Central Auckland or West Auckland?

          To see if I can add value to you, I'd like to ask you a few questions:
          • Why are you selling? Is there some way in which we can help you to keep this property?
          • By what date do you want to sell? Is there anything pressing you to that date?
          • Who are your advisors (finance/legal/insurance/etc.)?
          • Do you need help in getting your property ready to go to market?

          Here’s how I help people in your situation: I am a licensed real estate agent with over 3 decades in real estate sales, so I have usually experienced most situations that a seller could face.

          The people who find I’m ideally suited to help tend to be committed sellers who are market ready.

          My sellers hire me because of the benefits of my service, which include:
          • I am proudly aligned with Arizto Limited, a NZ company and licensed real estate agent
          • We are a digital full-service agency with a fixed fee of $10,000 +GST for successfully selling a property; all our documentation is online, and we are really easy to deal with
          • Being a fully-digital agency means that I can spend more time working for my sellers
          • After the initial appraisal, every step in the sales process is automated on mobile/PC and fully transparent. The only exception to this is if the property is going to auction, in which case there must be an on-site auctioneer and paperwork on the sale day
          • The deposit paid by a seller always goes to a third-party trust account, never to the agency
          • We make the connect to the lawyer and send them the documentation for review pre-sale
          • A feature of our system is the ability to instantly convert a viewing into an open home
          • I have a pool of trusted advisors and contractors who can be sure to smooth the sales experience for my sellers and we will ensure that the property is fully presentable to the market
          • For buyers, I teach them how to be market-ready

          Just briefly, here’s how I came to be in this business: with a young family I couldn't go back to nursing, so going into real estate was a way to get a business up and running whilst raising my children. I had recently purchased a property and I thought that I could do as good a job. Now, some 3 decades later, I know that I made the right choice, and so do the hundreds of sellers who have entrusted me with the sale of their homes (many of them having done so more than once).

          If you’re interested in learning more, do get in touch for a friendly chat about how I can help.

          I specialise in coaching the owners of construction-based companies to improve their business performance. They include builders, electricians, plumbers, HVAC and other specialist contactors.
          The typical business owner I work with loves what he does, is happiest solving technical challenges for his clients, but feels held back by all the other stuff that is essential in running a successful business. That may be building a marketing and sales system, clients from hell who are over demanding and then slow to pay; staff who can’t come up to the owner’s standard of work and result in too many call-backs, or the demands of all the quoting and administration that keep you up all hours of the night. Many tradies have had extensive technical training in their chosen field, but seldom any training in running a growing business. I help fill that knowledge gap.

          Catherine Cooke

          Area Group Manager

          A business owner turned business advisor and Founder of The Engine.

          I’ve always been fascinated by business and the opportunities to scale to greater heights personally and professionally.

          I built my first company from the ground up, to multiple companies with a staff number of 90. And I almost lost everything when another business venture was derailed by circumstances out of my control.

          It’s safe to say I know growing pains and adversity well and have seen what happens when a business goes well …and not so well.

          I’ve been a business advisor for the last seven years, with an extensive track record in helping hundreds of businesses grow. I was the Business Advisor for the Business Chamber of Commerce covering business problems nationwide in 2015.

          But what I’ve observed in this role is the lack of holistic business advice in the marketplace.

          Sure there are plenty of coaches, consultants and companies out there doing great work to help businesses but it’s often directed to one specific area of business, and doesn’t look at a business as a whole or include the voice of the team and clients. This can lead to all sorts of issues and can really stall growth.

          I’ve also watched business owners try to do it all, wearing too many hats, not focusing on what they’re good at then delegating the rest.
          My motto is “delegate to elevate” and that’s what I’m passionate about helping business owners do, so they can experience true growth.

          But I know they can’t do it alone.

          That’s why I founded The Engine.

          It’s a collaborative community of business professionals from experienced advisors, to a network of specialist business owners personally selected by me.

          Because lets’ face it – running a business is a lonely business.

          Having a team of skilled people cheering you on and offering sound business advice and trusted services is invaluable and a key to business success.

          If you’re looking for access to unrivalled monthly business support that won’t break the bank – you’re in the right place.
