Neil Randell, Magnetic Island Tours

“Big thanks to Josh Oakes. Alaska is giant but small at the same time, help is not always nearby. Josh understands our challenges, the worldwide tourism industry plus has great advice and always looks to the bright side. The positive encouragement alone has been worth it for me, weekly calls, materials and real time support are all bonuses.”

Andy Morrison, Alaska Back-Country Access

“What a brilliant resource you offer Josh Oakes thank you. I certainly benefited from your wisdom, insights and very useful templates last year, and really need to tap into that again.”

Sam Bradley, The Derwent Experience
“Josh is “one in a million”
He’s always available to advise and listen, plus his weekly group calls are an amazing help!”
Mark Hulf , London City Bus Tours
“Great program from the breakthrough session on. The added bonus of meeting great people on the weekly calls was icing!
Mark Aspiazu, New Orleans Secrets
“So glad I found this man, someone who has the knowledge and proven skills to move business in the right direction. Having someone to bounce things off, someone who cares where you want to be and shares that journey is priceless.
Deanne Scanlan, Enticing Asia

“We are really enjoying the guidance, community and support as we take our business to the next level.

Toni Dearle, Pemberton Discovery Tours
“So glad we started with you on the program Josh!
Sarah Bree Cullen, Majestic Whale Encounters

“I came for a breakout session and stayed with the course because the training I’ve received has been immeasurable. I would have simply walked away from a business I had created and poured my soul into for ten years if it hadn’t been for Josh’s help. Now it’s running like it should with minimal effort. There is a wealth of information here. Thanks, Josh.

Judy Narducci, Portage Lake Cruises

“The session with Josh was incredibly insightful, providing practical tips and strategies for entrepreneurs looking to expand their business globally. Highly recommend.
Sandra Martinez, Urban Crawls

“If you’re on the fence, DO IT! In a year from now, you we’ll be so thankful you did.

Cherrye Moore, My Bellavita

“We are so grateful that we found Josh. We had hit a difficult plateau in our business and as soon as we finished our breakout session, I knew we had found the “missing piece” in our business .

After only a couple of months, we’ve made big changes that we never would have thought to make, or felt confident to make on our own!

As a tour operator/ business owner it’s hard to find reliable guidance and not only have we found that in Josh’s program we also are now part of a invaluable community that understands our journey.

If you are on the fence at all, just see all the positive feedback🙌 I wholeheartedly suggest this program to
anybody in the tour operator business. You will not regret it.”

Michelle Ruiz, VIVE
“I’m so glad I took that leap and did that initial session with Josh. It was the turning point in my business. It helped me clarify exactly which direction I wanted to head in and what steps to take to get there. It can be tough running a business and having Josh at the other end of the phone, keyboard or monitor with great advice and genuine understanding is wonderful!
Jess Lothian, Show Me Melbourne
“Josh and his program is a treasure-trove of information, resources, and support. That breakthrough session just gave me a sense of calm knowing that someone knew exactly what I was going through as a business owner. Having worked with Josh over the last year or so, I’ve really learned a lot about the industry, my business, and myself. Having a trusted partner like Josh is what every tour entrepreneur needs.
Chris Paterson, Kailani Tours
“I joined with Josh towards the end of FY 2022. Very quickly he was able to spot opportunities for my business and areas to focus on, especially around proftiability and revenue stream. Following this, We were able to fully take advantage of last years Australian travel boom,
The results speak for themselves. As we enter the last two months of FY23 we have added another 900 guests to our tours and private charters (up 46% on last FY)., FYTD revenue is up 60% and net profits are up 300%. Our best ever year since we started in 2017, And we’ve been able to significantly invest that back into the business.
The templates and support from the coaching calls are worth the price of admission alone, Josh’s knowledge and enthusiasm is priceless.

“Breakthrough call was incredible. Finally, someone listening that understands and gets all the frustration, late nights, spreadsheets, loans, sales problems, and the rest. Getting that call, someone to help navigate entrepreneurship in travel industry is what I needed. Permission to regain control of processes, hire better people, pay for talent, delegate cluttered to-dos, and focus on the important aspects of my business. Josh provides resources, insights, and a workable playbook to customize the business that you want to have. If you’ve got the will, he’s got the way!
