Your Local Advisor
Meet Kirsty
Hi, I’m Kirsty Mitchell — Business Coach, Advisor, and trusted partner to small business owners.
I help business owners create the income, freedom, and clarity they deserve – building businesses that work for them, not the other way around.
With over 30 years of leadership experience across business strategy, team development, marketing operations, and customer experience, I bring calm clarity and practical structure to the chaos of small business life. I’ve led corporate teams, championed small business customers in banking, and even run my own family florist business – so I understand both the rewards and the real-world challenges.
Today, backed by the Trusted Advisor Network, I work with independent business owners across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston area. Together, we sharpen your strategy, strengthen your leadership, and create momentum that’s sustainable – not overwhelming.
Coaching with me isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about truth, strategy, and leadership – the real foundations of growth. I walk beside my clients, providing the structure, perspective, and accountability they need to move forward with purpose and confidence.
If you’re ready to step out of the day-to-day and into genuine leadership of your business and future, I’d love to be your partner in growth.
You don’t have to do it all alone. Let’s build a business that gives you the freedom you deserve.

The objective of a client partnership is to meet agreed performance standards to:
Maximise client income…
Rationalise client effort…
Optimise client scale…
Promoting Locals
Every one of our consultants lives in a local community and drives past hundreds of businesses every day.
Since TAN was established in 2014 we have met, promoted and helped thousands of local businesses with this program. Help has taken many forms from Free PR where businesses are promoted on our social media platforms through to assessing businesses for profit potential. Often business owners will simply want a few pointers from an outside perspective.
All our consultants do this on a voluntary basis as their contribution to building business success and supporting their local community.
Planning Sessions
Quarterly Planning
- Every business owner needs to step away from the day-to-day running of their business to think about longer-term issues and opportunities.
- Often the best environment for this is with other business owners who are faced with the same challenge of balancing their operational role with their longer-term role of leading and managing their business towards its goals.
- Quarterly Planning Sessions make this easy where business owners are provided with a structured format to build their plan.
- All planning sessions feature our signature 1-Page Plan that lists out 3 core projects for the upcoming quarter and a scoreboard for monitoring results over the period being planned for.
- Business Owners are provided with a workbook and planning guide to ensure they walk out clear, focused and ready to achieve the projects they have set.

Trusted Advisor Network
Kirsty is part of a dedicated team across Australia & New Zealand.
Our past 18 years in the advisory space has been the catalyst for developing our break-through approach.
Our programs are only offered to clients on an ROI basis after businesses have been analysed to determine the upside available to the business owner. Businesses must demonstrate a 500% ROI to be eligible for a program. This approach has been developed after years of in-field experience of being consultants, coaches, trainers and presenters.
Most importantly, over the last 12 years TAN has developed a deep understanding of working with business owners from every industry imaginable.
It has allowed us to continually develop leading methodologies, systems and intellectual property that makes up our program material. The synergy of working in partnership with our team along with such diverse clients has given us a collaborative culture that has become the most valuable part of the way we operate as a network.
