"[The Regional Experts] has been genuinely life changing for me. I have created a business that I get to enjoy every day. More importantly I have developed a business mindset which is what will help me to continue to grow, while also dealing with the ups and downs of business... all while being a mum and involved in running a farm!"

- Kirsten Diprose, Founder, Rural Podcasting Co

“I was hesitant to join the Regional Experts when I was coming back from maternity leave but it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The community of other women is something unmatched, everyone is so supportive and wants everyone to succeed in business. Tori’s support is next level as well. I’ve never been in a mastermind where I’ve had this level of support. You get support with your copy, social posts, programs as well as the slack messaging support plus obviously the weekly calls with the other members. Tori really gets your business, your goals and creates the roadmap you need to get there.”

- Hayley Dawson, The Rural Naturopath

"When I started with Tori, I was bootstrapping and trying to build my business with no real idea or experience in the business world.
All I had was a plan: “I want to build a business so I can work from home and bring these services to families in their own homes.”

That was it… no business plan, no strategy, no staff, very little funds — just a wild dream and enthusiasm.

Since then, I have:

• Scaled and become a profitable business

• Left my mainstream job to focus fully on my growing business

• Created a business plan

• Added multiple revenue streams

• Built a beautiful network of supportive businesswomen so I never feel alone

• Secured funding from major NGOs to deliver my services

• Delivered workshops and face-to-face services

• Stepped into keynote speaking (and realised it’s absolutely for me!)

• Expanded my team to include a CFO, VA, and new employees

What I Love About Working With Tori

• She gets it. The business life, mum life, farm life, living in the middle of nowhere life… she understands the juggle and the ebbs and flows that come with it.

• She cares. Tori takes the time to understand my business (sometimes better than I do!) and always gives tailored advice and guidance that works for me.

• She knows me. She recognises when my imposter syndrome creeps in, when I need softness and support, and when I need to be called out.

• The Regional Experts community. It’s the best place to meet like-minded businesswomen — they’re the coolest, most supportive group I’ve ever met.

• Slack support. A game-changer. Even when I don’t need direct answers, I have a sounding board to help me find clarity.

• Submissions and feedback. I started by submitting social media posts. Now, I’m submitting $9 million proposals. Tori doesn’t just “fix” things — she explains her thought process so I learn and improve every time.

Looking Ahead

I am so proud of the businesswoman I am becoming and the positive impact my business is having on rural families.

I can say with 100% certainty: I would not have been able to do this without Tori and The Regional Experts.

And the best part? The best is yet to come — I know it!"

- Rebecca Bradshaw Rural Child Health

"My 12 month anniversary with the [Regional Experts] is just around the corner, and I have loved every minute of working with Tori.  Tori has unearthed opportunities that I never saw coming and has been a huge catalyst in growing my business. The accountability that the weekly group calls provide is fantastic-there's nothing like having a cheerleading team always in your corner and this coupled with the 1:1 calls, for me, is a game changer.  Having Tori available in my back pocket on Slack is so convenient when I just need a second opinion, which is so valuable when you're working in your business mostly on your own.

- Sophie Hamilton, Founder, The Bedford Bar and The Bedford Bar Co.

"With Tori’s guidance and support I have taken on an offshore VA in the last few months, which is working really well. The game changer for me was Tori sharing her process and resources with me – this meant I could action it relatively quickly without having to do a lot of legwork.

Being surrounded by such powerhouse women is also incredibly energising. I have real clarity and a renewed connection to my business."

-Enrika Grogan, Mind Your Money

Susan started her business in 2021 and—like you—she had all the skills she needed to work in her business. But she was:

1. In the middle of nowhere with no network
2. Surrounded by non-business owners who didn’t get it
3. Getting through every day with no idea what she was working towards

Susan had a website but no real direction or structure. 

She hadn’t thought much about her ideal clients or what she wanted for the business.

"I joined Tori's mastermind group at the right time for me. I was in the right headspace to grow and be open to suggestion. I would do it again in an instant. My experience continues to grow as Tori's coaching style grows. She is committed to her own professional development and walks the talk, working with a team to help her achieve the best for her clients."

When Paige was asked... What would you say to someone considering working with Tori?

"Do it! But only if you are prepared to take advice, to seek out advice and to be open to a different approach. I value Tori's no-nonsense approach and her ability to see things from an outside(ish) perspective. She knows my business extremely well and can help me see opportunities for the future."

-Paige Cross, Cross Country Management

"3 months in and it feels like I have achieved 6 months of work. Having the support of Tori allows me to stay on track and focus on the important things that will make the most progress for me. I sometimes start to question my progress and then I look at the monthly goals we set out and realise how far I have come and how much I have achieved in the short space of time."

- Michelle Hearne, Founder, Michelle Hearne Coaching

"I joined Tori’s mastermind for her honesty, her thoughts, her connections and her shared love for regional women succeeding! 

I had worked with Tori on an ad hoc 1:1 basis over the years on various projects and had been following her for a while before I joined the Mastermind as I was in other groups. 

I knew I needed more tailored support, more access to a coach, rather than having to book a call for 2 weeks time! Tori holds you accountable and she’s so willing to give feedback on things you share with her. 

Marketing has never been my forte, but I absolutely love the way Tori’s brain works. She has a way of breaking things down so they feel easy to do and aligned with your business. 

As a coach myself, I see reflections of my own style in Tori, she’s honest, direct and will challenge you to get the best result for you. 

She also promotes the notion of ‘the best system for you, is one that actually works for you’. She has a ton of resources and insights and it’s easy to take what you need from it, when you need it. I like that there’s no pressure to follow any structure and have everything lined up in the back-end of your business. 

One of the things I value most is how Tori truly understands the reality of rural and regional women- she’s living it too (even more remote than some of us). We’re often juggling a million things, and she meets us right where we are.

The weekly group coaching calls have become a highlight for me – a chance to connect, recalibrate and bring myself back into the room when life and work get hectic. I never let anyone else book in a session for Tuesday lunchtime - that’s ’Tori time’.

Working for yourself can be lonely, but the mastermind community has made me feel connected and supported, and I’ve met some wonderful women. 

I appreciate the connections I’ve made with other women in the group. The regional world is truly so small, there will be many connections you didn’t even know existed. 

I’m glad I’m part of Tori’s mastermind, she is so generous with her expertise and guidance, and I highly recommend her to any regional biz owner looking for a coach who not only knows her stuff, but truly understands the people she works with."

- Liz Fleming, The Grants Club

"I honestly can’t say enough good things about Tori. She’s down to earth, straight-talking, and as fired up about my project as I am – which is saying something! She doesn’t just show up for the big stuff – she’s right there when you need her, cheering you on, asking the hard questions, and helping you keep moving forward.

She genuinely believes in what you’re building, and it shows – she’s always going the extra mile, not for show, but because she actually cares. Tori really knows what it takes to build a thriving business from the ground up – not just to get it off the ground, but to set it up for real, long-term success. Having her in my corner has been a total game-changer, and honestly, the best investment I’ve made in my business was booking that very first discovery call.

- Nikole Schellekins, AgMind Australia

"I've really enjoyed working with Tori so far and I'm only 3 months in, I feel like I have more clarity and direction in my business. The improvements I've been able to make during this time has led to a huge increase in the amount of leads I am creating, and I feel much more in control and excited about where the business will go in the next year. I love the community Tori has created too - we get to have really great check-ins with women running all kinds of businesses from around Australia. Thank you Tori!"

-Penny Wilson, Pip & Co Travel

"Joining Tori Kopke's mastermind transformed my business and life as a multi-passionate businesswoman and busy mum. I knew I needed support to take my business to the next level, but I needed someone who understood my world. With her support and straightforward advice, I scaled one business to six figures within 6 months, added 2 team members, and streamlined my offers and I even began a new business venture that Tori has helped guide me to ensure it aligns with my goals and values. 

Tori guided me to create a customer journey that truly reflects my brand's values and serves the rural women I work with. Her insights brought clarity and confidence to managing my business.

"Joining the [Regional Experts] has given me clarity and confidence in what I offer and how I price my services. But the real game-changer has been understanding the true transformation I provide my clients. It’s completely shifted the way I think and communicate. The [Regional Experts] has been invaluable, and learning from Tori and Martha has been so fun!
