About Colin Richardson
Colin Richardson Founder and CEO of several small businesses.
Global Direction Pty Ltd
I founded Global Direction in 1983 focusing on multi-dimensional database technologies, leading to becoming an InterSystems Caché partner in 1999. In 2002, I also initiated the process to become Australia’s first Certified Caché Expert (a designation bestowed on less than 200 specialists worldwide), receiving certification and subsequently qualifying as an Ensemble Implementation Partner in 2005.
I have developed and sold over $6.7 million worth of software and services to some of the largest hospitals in Australia, the Australian Defence Force, and other businesses from small, private companies to ASX Top-50 Public Corporations.
Combined with 20+ years of software development expertise, I have extensive domain knowledge in Health Informatics that I have successfully incorporated into highly sophisticated medical systems and products. I was one of the early pioneers and implementors in Australia for the use of HL7 communications standards for the healthcare industry.
Global Integration Pty Ltd
I founded Global Integration together with Kat Jays as an InterSystems Ensemble Implementation Partner servicing Councils and Local Government Authorities. The Ensemble Integration Platform is a clear leader in this field.
Professional Memberships
I have been a member of the Australian Institute of Management and the Australian Institute of Company Directors for many years as well as a Bachelor of Applied Science in Biochemistry.
StreetWise Business Coaching
I successfully made the transition from ‘technician’ to ‘business owner’ and understand the problems small business owners face from first-hand experience. I focussed my efforts over the last 5 years on marketing and business development by studying and applying the strategies of Jay Abraham, Tony Robbins, Brian Tracy and Mal Emery and other.
Using my experience I have branched out to become a Certified Streetsmart Business Advisor to help other small business owners enjoy the same success. I’ve become Streetsmart by owning and learning from several successful businesses and was one of the first business owners in Sydney to complete this training. Having paid for both good and bad advice over the years I have inside knowledge of some well known (both good and bad) identities. Because of my intense training from Mal Emery, continuously learning from the best in the world, I have developed the ability to help Small Business owners achieve dramatic improvements in their business in as little as 90 days. It’s a proven system that has worked for hundreds of businesses around the world, and it worked for me.
“When I first heard Mal Emery talk I went away with two strategies on positioning that tripled my income and nearly doubled my conversion rate. Since then I have taken every opportunity to learn more from Mal.”
If you have a complex or technical business environment then I have the skills to cut through the fluff and create practical strategies that can improve your profit, lifestyle and the value of your business.
Internet Marketer
This has to be the best kept secret from most people. Imagine a business that runs on automatic, pays you in $USD, and has a billion possible customers that you can market to for little or nothing. The money just flows into your bank account 24×7 without the need for personal effort. Just keep away from scams. I have developed my skills further to provide SEO and Google Adwords services to my clients.
If you need help with an Internet strategy for your business then I can help you with both the strategic and the technical aspects.
