Introducing Greg Gunther

Greg Gunther

Greg’s entrepreneurial spirit was ignited from a young age after watching his father build a successful property business. Passionate to emulate his father’s legacy, he became a founding member of the Dalby Agricultural College before building out the largest and most lucrative region for manufacturing corporation Incitec.

 Greg went into partnership with his dad, buying a 50% share of a family-owned car rental company. But he hadn’t completed his due diligence. His lack of research saw the business go bust quickly and he and his father lost everything. It was an important business lesson and one he carries into his work today.

The failure of his first business venture wasn’t going to hold Greg back. He invested in a growing financial services firm and within 3 years expanded his own territory from zero to 200 clients and in less than 6 years merged with 2 other companies to create the largest privately-owned financial planning firm in Australia with $5M in revenue.

His dream, though, was to create a company that did not rely on him solely and in 2006, established Greg Gunther & Associates offering advisory services to business owners.

 In 2014, a former colleague joined Greg’s firm. Within 2 years the pair joined forces, rebranding the business to Your Business Momentum—a consulting firm helping clients break free from the daily grind. In addition, Greg became the Co-Founder and Director of The Podiatry Hive; working with podiatry practitioners to build more profitable and effectively managed practices.

Aim for Work and Life Integration. Make time to relax. Celebrate business and personal achievements.
