"I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Premier Business Academy for their invaluable mentorship and support. My business had been struggling, and I was feeling overwhelmed, unsure of where to turn. However, after connecting with Bernard and receiving his guidance, everything changed. Bernard has shown an unwavering commitment to seeing me succeed. His personalized approach, extensive expertise, and dedication have provided me with the tools, strategies, and confidence I needed to turn my business around. The level of service and care I received from Premier Business Academy far exceeded my expectations. Bernard not only listened to my challenges but actively worked alongside me to develop actionable solutions that made an immediate impact. I am now more focused and empowered, and my business is on a clear path toward growth. If you’re looking for a mentor who truly invests in your success, I highly recommend Premier Business Academy. Their professionalism and passion for helping entrepreneurs like myself are unmatched!”
Matt – Sales Manager in a large B2B Company
"Hey Bernard, I really enjoyed yesterday!
I've been on a lot of those sales training sessions in my time, and this was in the top two that I can think of!
So really enjoyed it. The guys have come out really motivated!
You can see I'm trying the voice notes, not usually my style, but I'll give it a go and see how it is.
I really love the idea of doing something different and the unusual guarantees and being outside our comfort zone.
The guys and I are super pumped to try that out!
And the one phone call away from a million dollars idea, that’s really, true for us.
It was good. It was high octane. I loved the approach.
But again, thanks. I really enjoyed it. We're all pumped. We're going to make stuff happen!”
Rakesh – Business owner, NZ
"Hey, Bernard and team, I just wanted to send a big thank you to you again! Our lean journey since seeing you two months ago has been pretty amazing! You certainly helped light a spark amongst my team and myself! We’ve certainly made some leaps and bounds on the two second lean journey or the lean journey! Visiting you with our leadership team really shifted our thinking about lean. In particular there was a couple of guys that were always questioning the lean concept but when they when they saw your passion around what you were doing certainly has made a big difference! Its been a game changer for sure. So hey just a big thanks for that again!”
Nathan Thompson Managing Director
"I purchased four PBA life planners for our sales team as a trial and to try and formulate a common language around time management and planning. They’ve proved invaluable and cleared our heads, but most importantly, they are enjoyable to use which makes consistency a given. One of the game changers, which no one should dismiss as too simplistic is, planned Vs actual columns for each day. Many business leaders and employees will have heard advice going back years about keeping timesheets. A really successful guy I know, he got into the practice of keeping timesheets decades ago – and is ahead of the pack. I’ve had several attempts at recording timesheets, including digital apps, standalone sheets, excel etc – but nothing so far has come close to the ease of: 1. Recording an action list which lives seamlessly day to day… 2. Prioritising it… 3. Time blocking… It into each day 4. Finally, very easily recording actual actions against the plan which then educates and informs as to better planning For anyone who thinks that a digital to do app/outlook calendar is sufficient, I’d say that going back to paper is not a pointless duplication but a powerful joint method that anchors good time management practice but also pulls in activity tracking (yes there’s space for recording exercise as well!), goal setting, journalling and so on.”
Roseanne Way, General Manager
"I’ve been using the Premier Business Academy Life Planner for several months now, and I can honestly say it’s been a game-changer for my productivity, wellbeing, and overall quality of life! So much so that I’ve bought one for each of my team to use this year. This planner is so much more than just a tool for organizing your schedule – it’s a holistic system for managing your time, prioritizing what matters most, and cultivating a healthier work-life balance. Here are just a few reasons why I highly recommend the Premier Business Academy Life Planner: 1. Focus on what matters most: The planner’s prioritization framework helps me stay focused on my most important goals and tasks, eliminating distractions and ensuring I’m making progress on what truly counts! 2. Wellbeing and self-care: The planner includes dedicated space for planning self-care activities, tracking habits, and reflecting on my wellbeing. This has helped me develop a more intentional approach to my physical and mental health! 3. Regular review and reflection: The planner’s built-in review process helps me regularly assess my progress, celebrate my wins, and identify areas for improvement. This has been invaluable for helping me stay on track and make adjustments as needed! If you’re looking for a tool to help you optimize your time, improve your wellbeing, and achieve your goals, I highly recommend the Premier Business Academy Life Planner! It’s been a game changer for me, and I’m confident it will be for you too!"
Andrew Smith, General Manager
"I recently purchased the Life Planner 2025 from Premier Business Academy and I have to say I am very impressed, I really like the fact that I am going back to pen and paper. It has a great layout to support you in ensuring you find success and growth over the year. Each page keeps you on track with your goals and I am excited with the great balance between work and home life. I have often struggled with learning from my previous day but this planner is set up for that with a ‘plan and actual’ section, perfect for identifying the areas which didn’t add you value for the day and make those small incremental improvements every day to give you more productive time for the next day. The information section at start of the planner has been a great learning tool and I have already put into action one of the tools. Each day I define my priorities into a simple A, B, C system to ensure I have control over my actions. The support from Bernard and the team has been fantastic and I can’t wait to get stuck in to 2025 with some massive life changes planned and the confidence behind me to stay on track with them as I have the Life Planner. Thank you to the Premier Business Academy for sharing such a useful tool for anyone to use and add value to what they do. Many Thanks"
James Hill, Superintendent BHP Operating System
"I’ve seen many leaders across multiple operations rise and fall, and I’ve noticed two key differences between executives who succeed and those who burn out. The first is mindset—successful leaders approach challenges with an open mind and embrace problems as opportunities. The second is time management—they focus on what truly matters, and when their day gets off track, they reflect on why and course-correct. The PBA Daily Planner is a game-changer for managing both mindset and time. It helps you focus on what’s important while also reflecting on those chaotic days that pull you away from your goals. I’ve tried many planners from well-known business coaches that promise to unlock your performance, only to feel defeated after a week because I still needed other tools to plan and reflect. This is where the PBA Planner stands out. It’s clear that it’s been road-tested by people actively managing businesses and leading teams. Everything included serves a purpose—there’s no fluff. Best of all, if you think of an improvement, the PBA team is all ears. They use this planner every day themselves, so they’re genuinely invested in making it as effective as possible."
Joey Mayfield
"Before I signed up for coaching with PBA, I felt alone trying to implement a culture of continuous improvement to serve our team and our customers better. It felt like a daily battle to push the team to new standards and ways of thinking. Now with Bernard’s coaching and joining his incredible PBA community, I don’t feel alone in the journey. I have people encouraging and challenging me to continue our progress daily.
I have had 4 major breakthroughs since starting our PBA journey. First, I started using the Ultimate Life Planner to plan my days more rigorously and track where my time goes. Massive stress taken off when I leave every day with tomorrow already planned. New mindset and new habit unlocked.
Bernard’s challenges have spurred us to new heights in the leadership team, and making videos everyday has changed the way the rest of the company views my team. We are the experts now on culture building and execution because we are sharing our wins in video!
Some of my team have really engaged with Bernard and pushed themselves to grow and lean into our growth journey. I have seen better engagement and leadership from those individuals.
Lastly, I wanted to move my team to doing all the office and bathroom cleaning ourselves, to build a culture of service and humility. I wanted to fire the cleaning crews, but it felt like an impossible challenge. Bernard coached us through it and now everyone is cleaning their area and toilets to a new higher standard. I feel a huge weight off my shoulders.
The difference with Bernard is his follow up. He doesn’t just have a weekly call with you. He sends you voice notes through the week. He texts to encourage you, and he connects you to his larger PBA community. This keeps you motivated and moving forward.
My recommendation to other business owners and leaders is try it out. Why not? I would pay the cost 2x over to get the results I have now."

Hello Bernard, I got your PBA Life Planner 2025 here just a few months ago, and I have been using it. I'm trying hard to use it more. I've watched some of your videos. I've watched the video with you going over it with Leroy, and I'm trying my best to get into it, and it's helped me a lot! I really appreciate you and all you do! And I love this planner! It's made my life a lot better.

Working with Bernard and Premiere Business Academy has been awesome. It feels so good to have someone in my corner. Someone I can just go to, someone consistent, that I can go to with my questions and someone who has my back and not all and not only like someone to answer my questions, but there's like so much beyond that, you know, like coaching and being told what you need to do. It was a good feeling, like I felt like for a long time I've been just going through life one foot in front of the other and not having super clear directions and tactics as well. Like I was weak on tactics and Bernard has totally helped me out with that. So, yeah, give it a go.
If They Did It, You Can Too!
