Meet Michael Sgarbossa
Why I’m the Person to Help You Get There
I know what it takes to lead and grow businesses. My journey didn’t start in a boardroom—it began on a sugarcane farm in North Queensland, where I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and the critical role businesses play in their communities.
Those lessons fuelled my drive to succeed. I achieved a Mechanical Engineering degree, then spent more than two decades working in and leading major multi-billion-dollar rail infrastructure construction projects across Australia and the UK. I worked with clients, contractors, and consultants, delivering results in some of the most demanding environments imaginable.
Here’s Why My Experience Matters to You:
- I’ve learned how to create strategies that drive success. I know how to map out clear, actionable plans that take businesses from chaos to control and beyond.
- I’ve mastered the art of getting the numbers right. Knowing where you stand and where you’re heading is the foundation of making smart decisions and achieving measurable results.
- I’ve led high-performing teams—often inheriting teams with challenges and transforming them into cohesive groups that deliver. I can help you build a team you trust.
- I’ve implemented systems that streamline operations and eliminate inefficiencies, giving business owners the freedom to focus on higher-value work.
In my career, I’ve seen it all: businesses running like well-oiled machines and those struggling with inefficiencies and challenges that only grow as they scale. I know how to fix the issues holding you back and build a business that works smarter, not harder.
Here’s How We’ll Work Together
If you’re ready to get out of the grind and take control of your business, here’s how I’ll help you:
- Assess where you are. Together, we’ll get crystal clear on what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.
- Map out your vision. We’ll create a step-by-step roadmap to get you where you want to go—without wasting time or resources.
- Prioritize the right actions. I’ll help you focus on what really matters and avoid distractions that pull you off course.
- Build your team and systems. From leadership development to streamlining operations, I’ll guide you in creating a business that works for you, not the other way around.
The Bottom Line
You’ve worked too hard to feel stuck and burnt out. It’s time to break free from the constant demands of running your business and build something better—something that works efficiently, grows sustainably, and allows you to live the life you deserve.
If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start achieving the success you’ve been working for, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll create the business—and the life—you’ve been striving for.
Let’s make it happen.

This means the income made by clients as a result of working with us must be at least a 5 times ROI. We believe fee structures should be transparent and accountable. For this reason we have proprietary software to ensure both client and advisor have an ROI “fit” before starting a program.

The objective of a client partnership is to meet agreed performance standards to:
Maximise client income…

Optimise client scale…
Promoting Locals

Every one of our consultants lives in a local community and drives past hundreds of businesses every day.
Every one of our consultants lives in a local community and drives past hundreds of businesses every day.
Since TAN was established in 2014 we have met, promoted and helped thousands of local businesses with this program. Help has taken many forms from Free PR where businesses are promoted on our social media platforms through to assessing businesses for profit potential. Often business owners will simply want a few pointers from an outside perspective.
All our consultants do this on a voluntary basis as their contribution to building business success.
Planning Sessions
Quarterly Planning

- Every business owner needs to step away from the day-to-day running of their business to think about longer-term issues and opportunities.
- Often the best environment for this is with other business owners who are faced with the same challenge of balancing their operational role with their longer-term role of leading and managing their business towards its goals.
- Quarterly Planning Sessions make this easy where business owners are provided with a structured format to build their plan.
- All planning sessions feature our signature 1-Page Plan that lists out 3 core projects for the upcoming quarter and a scoreboard for monitoring results over the period being planned for.
- Business Owners are provided with a workbook and planning guide to ensure they walk out clear, focused and ready to achieve the projects they have set.

Trusted Advisor Network

Michael Sgarbossa is a part of a dedicated team across Australia & New Zealand.
Our past 18 years in the advisory space has been the catalyst for developing our break-through approach.
Our programs are only offered to clients on an ROI basis after businesses have been analysed to determine the upside available to the business owner. Businesses must demonstrate a 500% ROI to be eligible for a program. This approach has been developed after years of in-field experience of being consultants, coaches, trainers and presenters.
Most importantly, over the last 12 years TAN has developed a deep understanding of working with business owners from every industry imaginable.
It has allowed us to continually develop leading methodologies, systems and intellectual property that makes up our program material. The synergy of working in partnership with our team along with such diverse clients has given us a collaborative culture that has become the most valuable part of the way we operate as a network.
