Rachael's course and following mentoring has turned my just about to close the doors workshop into a business that I am now proud to go to everyday. I have been shown how to be the business owner not just a good mechanic. My profits are the best they have ever been and I don't feel tied to my business anymore. My family has enjoyed numerous holidays in the last couple of years that we would never have been able to take. My wife even had this year off to finish her masters degree, and we haven't struggled for money. Rachael taught me how to be a better business owner, leader of my team, father and person and for these things I am ever indebted to her for, if anyone is looking to take their workshop to the next level and beyond than this is the right lady to help you get there!! Cannot speak highly enough what she has been able to do for me and my family

Thanks Rachael Sheldrick

We have been a part of the Engine Room for almost 4 years now. We have also had the privilege of being in the next tier of coaching as Warriors.

Rachael, Dean and the coaches provide industry specific coaching so everything is relevant to your business.

The support we have received has been amazing! It’s not only helped our business to grow, it’s also grown us into better business owners, bosses and partners.

The community is incredibly supportive and you will never feel alone in business again. To be able to talk to other business owners in the same industry, facing the same struggles and have them openly share their knowledge is priceless.

If you’ve been thinking of joining the Workshop Whisperer and wondering if it will help or if it’s worth the money then we can absolutely assure you it is. We recouped our money within the first 6 months.

If you do the work the results will follow, you will be guided and supported the whole way.

We would recommend the program to anyone that wants to make and keep more profit, have more downtime, be supported and create a secure future for themselves.

The 2-day Retreats that the Workshop Whisper Team run are amazing!! They're full of practical knowledge and ways to improve our workshop to be more efficient and profitable. We always leave these events with a really clear picture of what we need to work on for the next 90-days to grow our business. The proof of how much our business has grown the last 3 years really shows the benefit of these events!

So grateful to be a part of this community!

I’ve been a client since 2019, and there’s truly nothing else like The Workshop Whisperer in the automotive space. What I’ve learned has made me a better business operator, and more importantly a better father and partner. The growth has gone far beyond just the business; it’s changed how I think.

If you’re serious about turning your workshop into something far greater than you ever thought possible, this is a no-brainer. I can't thank you enough, Rachael, Dean, and the entire WW team for the guidance, challenge, and belief in me.

Rachael has taught me the the tools to drive my business to the next level. She has guided me through the journey. When I first contacted Rachael I was on the verge of closing my doors, with the systems that she taught me I had reurned my business to profit in the first 12 months.

The Workshop Whisperer’s Engine Room program has been absolutely life changing. This is a long-term, in-depth dive into training you in every aspect of owning and managing a profitable workshop business. Financials, metrics, process and procedure, team culture, leadership - the list goes on. These guys won’t run your business for you, but they’ll hold you up while you learn to fly. We can see the returns in our pocket, our health and our time.

Starting out with Rach and the team in 2018 as a super broke, super overworked business owner, I now run a successful busy and reputable ( and profitable) workshop largely due to the amazing guidance, coaching and cheering on from this amazing group of people. Cannot recommend them enough.

I recently attended a two-day retreat led by the team at the Workshop Whisperers, and it was an incredible experience. The wealth of knowledge and insights shared during the retreat were priceless. They not only provided clarity on our business direction but also helped us create a concrete plan for the next quarter. Their expertise and guidance have been instrumental in our success. I'm truly grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow under their mentorship.

Thank you Workshop Whisperer team for the amazing information delivered to us in the Spring Retreat today.

If you want to move from having a job to being a real business owner then doing Racheal's course is where I would start. Accountability from the group helps you put into practise what you learn and step up to the next level.
