Welcome
THIS IS OUR STORY
I know that being in business for yourself is tough. Full of ups and down, surrounded by people with secure jobs who think you’re slightly crazy for trying to do it all yourself. Even when you have some successes, like I have, there is always that nagging sense of self doubt that you’re about to trip up.
To be fair, that feeling can be well founded. After all YOU are a pioneer. Nobody has ever been in your business, with the skills you possess, at this very moment in time. With so many things to think about in business it can be hard, and confusing on what to focus on.
As an avid skier and I often use a skiing metaphor when describing running your own business. When you start out, you typically seek the safety and comfort of the beginner slopes. Every turn laid out in front of you, the lift off in the distance ready to bring you back to the top. The better you get, the more likely you are to seek the thrill of back country with it’s deep powder, steep slopes and the excitement of the trees.
On those slopes you can ONLY see one turn ahead, and have to trust in your knowledge and skills that you can make each turn, even when you can’t see more than one turn ahead. Marketers, coaches, and consultants like myself and the team we’ve assembled at Win More CLients are like skilled skiers. Experienced guides who can show you the mistakes we’ve made and how to avoid them, show you how to ski those trees and steep slopes, and in your business context, how to fast you want to go.
Whilst i’ve been fascinated with everything about business since I was 6 years old (I blame uncle scrooge golden books), almost the entirety of my adult life has been focussed on how people can use technology better to communicate. Since the advent of the internet, I’ve been involved in some form or other of digital marketing technology to allow people to connect better, faster and in a more leveraged way.
I’m absolutely thrilled to lead the team of amazing sales and marketing experts we’ve pulled together at Win More Clients and now with the addition of A.I. the sky is the limit.

Our Core Team
Tim Hyde
The first one I remember was starting a circus at the age of 6 when my parents first moved to Canberra. I can’t recall now if I just loved it because I was seeing my ‘Uncle Scrooge’ golden book come to life before my eyes, or the resulting sugar rush from all the 1c lollies I was able to buy with the proceeds. I’ve also tried my hand at importing and selling Ugg boots at trash-and-treasure, making wine racks, and doing door to door sales, all before I turned 18.
Oddly enough, I’ve never had a lemonade stand.
I think the most memorable client I ever worked with was a clairvoyant. It was for a 4 hour digital marketing consultation on a project funded by the Australian Government to help businesses in regional areas become more comfortable the use of digital technologies. I still joke to this day that I said nothing for the 4 hours we were together and she read my mind instead.
Way back in 2000 I co-founded a website called The RiotACT with a group of friends to unearth what was going on in our home town of Canberra. Despite only having $600 to fund the venture, it quickly grew and by 2006 we had in excess of 25,000 unique visitors per month. After 2006 I took over as CEO with the intent to underpin our side project with the usual business trappings, the words of one of my early mentors often ringing in my ears “Are you good enough to get better?”.
Back then there were was nobody else to follow however. No Facebook to model, or leading newspaper to copy in creating a digital business. I had to invent it through trial and error, and by studying every emerging technology and trend. Somehow it worked and by 2012 RiotACT was serving over 18 million pages per year to 2/3 of the working age population in Canberra, making it one of the largest independent media sites in Australia.
It’s a toss up which moment was harder. Leaving RiotACT at the end of 2013 after committing so much blood sweat and tears into building it, or the first time I came home to find legal papers under my door threatening to sue for everything I owned because of something someone else had said on the site.
This one is hard to pick. I love spending time with family and friends, cooking and entertaining, arts, travel, and adventure. I’m an intently curious person and love learning new things. Recently a good friend of mine challenged me to look at what relationships and behaviors are serving me and which ones aren’t, which led to an insightful and introspective deep dive into what “serving me” looks like. It’s allowed me to reset and really think about my own personal values which are reflected in our company values too. One of those is to be of service to others. Through THIS company, I am intensely passionate about helping other entrepreneurs succeed and change the world to be a better and more tolerant place for all.

• Left Handed for writing, right handed for all sports
• A foodie, but anaphylactic to Shellfish – no seafood dinner invites!
• Coffee Enthusiast – coffee is life!
• Tried to run a business by almost selling my parents “unwanted” household items. I dragged a table down the front stairs and out to the side of the road and hand wrote price tags and stuck them on all my treasures I wanted to sell. Turns out the old stuff I thought was “junk”, where family heirlooms!
• Youngest Shift Supervisor in Australia for Pizza Hut at age 16. I couldn’t attend the annual managers conventions which were held in a licensed premise for 18+ as I was under age forthe venue!
As someone who loves music, and can find a song for any type of memory, this question resonates with me deeply. I listen to a wide range of music, however my ‘hype’ song that will never fail to not touch my soul is by Rufus Du Sol – any Australian Band (who I’ve seen multiple times in concert/festivals) – International hit song Innerbloom. So much so, for anyone that has met me, they would see Innerbloom lyrics from the chorus I have tattooed on my body to mark a memory forever.
I was a “copy kid” also known as a copy boy for Fairfax media in my youthful days. This was one of my 4 jobs I juggled together when I was 18.
The definition of a ‘copy boy’ from Wiki is “A copy boy is a typically young and junior worker on a newspaper. The job involves taking typed stories from one section of a newspaper to another. According to Bruce Guthrie, the former editor-in-chief of the Herald Sun who began work there as a copy boy in 1972:
Reporters typed their stories on slips of butcher’s paper…then a copy boy ran the story into the neighbouring subs’ [sub-editor’s] room, hence the cry of ‘copy’. Each slip of the story had about six carbon copies…stapled together and it was the job of the copy boy – or girl – to separate the original and run it to the subs, and then separate the carbons for distribution”
By the time I worked there (1998) it was digital ages of email, computers and typed stories, however the legacy of a copy kid lived on more in the form of assistant to the editors, sub editors etc. This was mainly running errands and generally ensuring everyone had what they needed. A core part of the role was sitting a room monitoring police radios listening to the chatter until you found something juicy and this would be dispatched to a reporter to investigate in the hope it turned out to be a newsworthy story.
One of my most amusing and long standing memories of the job was actually fetching huge orders of pies from a Pie shop on Saturdays via taxi. I would have to place an order for 40-50 pies, get in a cab, travel to said pie shop and bring them back and hand deliver each one to the recipient.
I am very fortunate to live a beautiful part of Sydney Australia along the Eastern coastline. I manage to take advantage of sensational sunrise walks in beach areas. I often snap a pic for my socials 🙂 A favourite and regular (popular) walk is from Queenscliff to Shelley Beach in the iconic suburb of Manly. Manly is renowned for it’s beautiful beaches, surfing, restaurants/cafes, stores, weekend markets, nightlife and more. As long as it has coffee I’m good.

Seeing someone feel understood or empowered because of something I did? That’s the best feeling ever. 😊
“Lovely Day” by Bill Withers! 🌞
The moment that smooth beat kicks in, it feels like the sun just walked into the room, gave me a fist bump, and said, “Let’s crush this day!” 🎶 By the time Bill hits that iconic, loooong “dayyyy,” I’m fully charged and ready to conquer anything. It’s like a warm hug and a pep talk rolled into one perfect tune. It’s impossible not to smile! 😄
Grilled squid! 🦑🔥
It’s smoky, tender, and has just the right chewy bite. Pair it with a squeeze of fresh lemon, and it’s a flavor party every time! Plus, it’s light and packed with protein, so it feels indulgent without being heavy. Honestly, grilled squid is like a hug from the ocean—delicious, comforting, and always leaves you wanting more. 🌊✨
