Business Coaching for Vancouver Island, BC Business Owners

I’m passionate about helping local small business owners in Victoria, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Comox, and beyond grow revenue, reclaim time, and build a business that fits life on the Island.

"Before coaching I’d hit a bottleneck on my growth and knew I needed accountability and guidance to break through. With Jordy’s support, we have increased revenue from $28k to $62k/month in just 90 days. Now I know the most important work to focus on and feel accountable."

Grow Your Business While Loving Your Life On The Island

You didn't move to Vancouver Island, or stay here, by accident.

You chose this place for the lifestyle. The ocean. The slower pace of life. The community. The chance to build a life you love without the pressure of a big city.

But running a business here comes with its own set of challenges.

Local workforces can be tight, especially outside the major centres.

Seasonal swings affect cash flow and demand.

And while the Island is more developed than people give it credit for, you're still building a business in a region where ambition can feel out of place. Where the cultural pull is toward balance and quality of life, but the financial pressures of running a business haven't gone anywhere.

A lot of Island business owners I talk to are caught in the same cycle: working harder than they want to, earning less than they should, and quietly wondering if they have to choose between growing their business and enjoying the life they came here for.

You don't.

The smartest Island business owners I work with build the kind of business that fits the place. Profitable enough to support a great life. Structured enough to run without consuming every hour. Focused on the work that actually matters instead of the noise that doesn't.

I help small business owners on Vancouver Island simplify, focus, and grow strategically so you can build a thriving business and fully enjoy the lifestyle you came here for.

"I broke through burnout while doubling revenue from $24k to $50k/month. Having a coach who truly seeks to understand before providing direction has been a breath of fresh air and translated into immediate impact. Jordan has guided me through improving cash flow, profitability, scale, delegation, and more."

About Jordan Tait

I'm the founder of The Intentional Business, and I'm based in Gibsons, BC, on the Sunshine Coast.

I understand the West Coast island and small-town way of life. I lived in Vancouver for most of my career and eventually left to rebuild my life and business around what matters most to me: time, freedom, health, and doing work I love. Many of my clients on the Island made similar moves for similar reasons.

My coaching is built on a simple belief: your business should support the life you want, not consume it. Whether you've been on the Island for generations or you moved here recently to escape the city, the goal is the same. Build something profitable, sustainable, and aligned with the life you actually want to live.

I've coached business owners across Vancouver Island. From Victoria-based trades businesses to Nanaimo marketing agencies and consultants. The industries vary but the desire to build a business that works for your life is consistent.

If you're ready to earn more, work less, and enjoy the life you came here for, let’s talk.
