Feeling These Lately?
When you wind down each night, are any of these doubts on repeat?
Unsure Next Steps
Imposter syndrome often leads to doubting your next decision.
Family Time Suffers
When you're home, you're not present. Your dream doesn't seem worth it.
Avoiding Hard Talks
You sometimes avoid conflicts, and then small fires grow into big ones.
Low Productivity
Employees take shortcuts, accountability vanishes, and you’re always fixing.
Culture of Blame
Your team points fingers before finding answers, fuelling toxicity.
Turnover & Mis-Hires
Good staff leave or new hires don't last, draining
your momentum.
IF SO,
AND
The harsh reality? The #1 reason* small and medium businesses fail (25% of them) is the owner never upgraded their leadership skills in time to stop a downward spiral.
Here's exactly why this happens, and how to fix it fast:
Why This Keeps Happening
Most Aussie Workers are Disengaged*
Studies found that 75% of employees are just showing up to work each day with zero passion.
Disengagement Drains your Business*
Stress and anger create a toxic environment, tanking productivity, customer loyalty, and sales.
Everything Falls on Your Shoulders
You make thousands of decisions daily, and when they aren’t followed through, it’s exhausting.
Why It's Hard To Fix
Inherited Bad Habits
Helping employee's fix bad habits gained by their past leaders takes time.
The Hidden Costs Are Massive
Replacing an employee can cost up to $130k in lost knowledge, hiring, onboarding and productivity.
Common Solutions Take Too Long
An MBA(Leadership) costs $60k, takes two years, and leaves you with vague theories, not actions.
IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM
The good news? As a business owner, you have a lot of control (70%* of your team’s engagement to be exact). We help you harness that power and turn things around, real fast.

A Letter From Our Founder
Hi, my name is Anthony, and I’m a recovering people-pleaser. I’ve dedicated my life to simplifying complex things and making them easy to learn. It’s why I’ve also been a private high school executive (at a school with over 550 students) and a 2x founder (both with successful exits).
Leadership has always stumped me as a logical thinker. That’s why I’m on a mission to demystify it; turning what feels vague and overwhelming into something clear, actionable, and achievable. If you’re skeptical, i'm glad.
Most leadership training is packed with fluff, big promises, and little follow-through. That’s why I built Leaderupt: to give small business owners a clear, no-nonsense way to lead their teams and get results.
Here's what I've done so far:
-
I've personally used my methods working as an executive leading a team of 14 to reduce turnover by 63%, increase productivity by 22%, and grow revenue by 16% in 2 years.
-
Taught hundreds of leaders exactly what to say and do with plug-and-play systems, scripts, and frameworks.
-
Devoted years to refining a no-fluff, no-nonsense approach to leadership that’s clear, actionable, and built for results.
I’d be honoured to help you lead with clarity, build a thriving team, and finally reclaim your time for the things that matter most.
Here's To Your Success,
Anthony Bochrinis
Leaderupt Founder
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How Much Does It Cost?If you’re looking for a $1000 quick fix, this ain’t it. Our approach is proven, streamlined, and still about 10x cheaper than an average MBA. Or, you can try doing it on your own: burn time, money, productivity, and even employees. Here, you invest once, fix leadership fast, and move on. The Leadership Forge is application-only, and we don't accept everyone. Only businesses who want to grow. Plus, it’s probably a 100% business write-off.
-
I’m Too Busy. Can I Really Make This Work?Look, we get it, you’re really busy. That’s why we respect your time. You could keep trying to fix culture and retention issues on your own, burning mental energy and maybe even missing out on real family time. Or you could waste two whole years chasing an MBA. No thanks. With Leaderupt, you’ll start seeing results in about a week. After that, you’ll just need 1-3 hours a week (about the time you’d spend scrolling social media) and we’ll make sure you actually put it to use. We specialise in efficient learning, so every minute counts and every step you take really makes a difference.
-
Can I Actually Use This In My Business?Look, if you’re an Australian small business owner with a tight-knit team and you’re struggling with retention, culture, productivity or just leading them like a pro, there’s a strong chance we can help. But not every business is the right fit, and that’s okay. Hop on a quick call with us and we’ll let you know straight up. If it’s not a match, we’ll hand you a free resource for your trouble. No fluff, no wasted time.
-
Will I See Business Improvement?Our secret spicy sauce? We’re masters at teaching. No boring slide decks, lectures, or “guru frameworks.” We skip all that and tell you exactly what to say and do to make your business thrive. We’re only interested in getting you real results. The Leadership Forge is application-only, and we’re picky. If you’re cool with struggling alone, complaining that “no employees are good these days,” and sacrificing your weekends to patch holes in your culture, this isn’t for you. We work with small business owners who are done with pity-parties and ready to fix their leadership now. Once you’re in, we stand by our results. Oh, and it’s probably a 100% write-off for your business, too.
-
How Is The Leadership Forge Tailored For Me?About 75% of solid leadership skills are universal across every industry, no matter who’s in charge or what the field is. The best leaders use the same proven tactics whether they’re leading a team of marketers, lash technicians, mechanics or hospitality staff. Our job is to figure out where you’re at and what you need, then fine-tune The Leadership Forge to hit your goals. We help you play to win, not blend in. And honestly, if you’re just copying the same old leadership style everyone else uses in your industry, how do you expect to stand out, crush the competition, or make your team so loyal they’d never dream of jumping ship? Let’s show you how to lead in a way that actually sets you apart, with no fluff. And the other 25%? That’s where we tailor it specifically to you, your challenges, and your goals.
-
What If I’ve Done Leadership Training Before?That’s great, you’ve got a head start. But here’s how we’re different: we’re drawing on techniques from award-winning high school teaching that's helped thousands of students. We don’t just hand you a theory and wish you luck. We give you actual scripts and step-by-step playbooks, and then we rehearse these with you until it’s second nature. Did we just compare you to a teenager? Yes. Yes, we did. Because when learning is tangible, practical, and actually engaging, the same battle-tested methods that worked wonders for young minds can transform time-strapped business owners, too. We’re not here to coddle or bore you; we’re here to ensure the stuff you learn sticks, so you can become the exceptional leader you’re meant to be.
-
What If I Don’t Learn Anything New?Plain and simple: we’ll refund you in full. That’s how confident we are in our secret spicy sauce. There’s no one else out there giving you leadership training this straightforward and fluff-free. If we can’t show you something new, something that genuinely cuts through the nonsense, you won’t pay a cent. It’s that simple.
