The Kitchen


We will, shortly-ish, be opening the Kitchen at The Business Bakery.

The Kitchen is best described as an enormous cookery book, for your business.  It’s packed with recipes to help you design and run a profitable lifestyle business.

At the heart of the Kitchen is The Business Bakery Method, an eight-step process designed to guide you through reshaping your business so that it is, by your standards, super-profitable.

Imagine a cookery book. The Business Bakery Method forms the index and each of the eight steps in the process is the heading for a chapter full of recipes. Each recipe contains simple, practical, do-able instructions so that you can, with no special business know-how, master each step of the process.

There is other stuff too. Bite sized tips, tidbits of clever information, kitchen wisdoms and lots, lots more.

But it’s not open yet.

Taste testers required!




To be honest we wanted to open the Kitchen last year but then we also wanted to create a beautiful product and, groan, we couldn’t do what we wanted in the time that we had.

So while we are still in creating mode, we are nearly there! In fact we are so close that we would like to do a small taste-test and trial The Kitchen at The Business Bakery with a selection of lifestyle business owners.

The website is not ready yet so we will do the taste-test by email. Essentially our tasters will receive one recipe from the collection, each workday, by email.  

The taste-test will start with an outline of The Business Bakery Method and then the recipes will start to flow!

We will work logically through each step of the process, so on any day the particular contents of your daily email will depend upon which step we are on.

The taste-test isn’t free. We want to give this opportunity to those of you who really want to improve the profitability of your business, and we know that you are far more likely to do the work if you have paid for the information! It’s not expensive though. It works out at $1 per recipe ($5 per week).

If you are interested in being a taster, please drop us a line at more@thebusinessbakery.com.au. We know you will want more information and we will very happily answer your individual questions there. Alternatively if you just want to dive straight in you can sign up here!

In case you are concerned that you will be locked into this taste-test for years, you won't be! We want you to enjoy the taste-test but if you find it’s not to your liking, you can just stop whenever you want.
