1:1 Coaching: How Peter Boolkah Helped Karie Kaufmann Double Her Business
Client: Karie Kaufmann, Business Coach
The Challenge:
After nearly a decade in business, business coach Karie Kaufmann had already achieved significant success. But growth had stalled. “I had achieved many of my original goals, but I didn’t know how to reach the bigger ones. I had outgrown my structure, and doing more of the same wasn’t going to get me to the next level. I was stuck.” Despite years of experience, Kaufmann felt like a rookie again. “I’d built something good, but I knew I was working below my potential. I needed to create space for new opportunities, let go of certain parts of my business, and step outside of my comfort zone.” That’s when she turned to Peter Boolkah. “I’d known Peter professionally for a while, but once we sat down, he immediately told me I was working below my skill level and that it was becoming inappropriate. He was right. I wanted my coaching practice to look like his, and because he’d already done it, mistakes and all, I knew he was uniquely positioned to help me replicate that success.”
The Solution:
My 1:1 Coaching with Peter provides clarity, accountability, and the tough love needed to move forward. “He’s a straight talker, but also incredibly supportive. He calls things out directly, but in a way that’s positive and encouraging. He sees potential you can’t always see in yourself.” One of the first steps was to reset the vision. “Peter asked me: What do you want your life to look like? Then, what does the business need to look like to deliver that? That process clarified my goals and highlighted the gap between where I was and where I wanted to be. Together, we worked out what I needed to let go of, what boundaries I needed to set, and what training I needed to invest in to become the coach I wanted to be.” Peter also helped tackle deep-rooted patterns. “He called out that I overthink, overcomplicate, resist change, and then eventually take action. It was a lightbulb moment. Once I could see the pattern, I could move through it faster.” Another breakthrough came when Peter challenged the business model. “He said, ‘The problem with you is you’re awesome… but when are you going to start making other people awesome?’ My business was too dependent on me. I needed to build the next level of structure, develop my team, and delegate more, especially tasks that I excelled at but weren’t my true genius. That shift freed me to focus on my zone of genius and scale.”
Key Strategies & Insights:
Vision Before Strategy:
By starting with life goals and then aligning the business model, Peter ensured growth wasn’t just financial, but also sustainable and fulfilling.
Clarity Creates Action:
“The clearer you are on where you want to go, the more dissatisfied you become with the current state. That gap is powerful because it drives action.”
Delegating Beyond Competence:
Peter helped Kaufmann see the trap of holding onto tasks they were excellent at. “Excellence can rob you of genius. Delegating those freed me to focus on the work only I can do.”
BFOs (Blinding Flashes of the Obvious):
From recognising overthinking patterns to reframing resistance as part of growth, Peter’s direct coaching style sparked mindset shifts that stuck.

In Karie Kaufmann’s Own Words:
“You need to consider if you’re prepared to be challenged. The commitment to coaching isn’t just financial; it’s about being willing to grow, stretch, and put in the work. Peter genuinely cares about you and your business. He’s direct, insightful, and won’t let you hide. Even if it’s uncomfortable at times, you know it comes from a place of care and mutual respect. He’s brilliant at seeing things you don’t see in yourself or your company, and because of his decades of experience, he brings a perspective you can’t get on your own.”
