About Me: From Corporate to Advisor—Your Guide to Business Confidence

Hi, I’m Chris Mackey, founder of RiseWise and an advisor dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build businesses they’re proud of—I believe your business grows as you grow, not the other way around.

As the Entrepreneur Alchemist, I specialise in guiding business owners through the chaos of entrepreneurship and transforming their businesses into vehicles for success and fulfilment. My role is about more than just strategy—it’s about creating clarity, confidence, and control that aligns with your unique vision.

My career began in the corporate world, where I quickly saw how talented professionals often became cogs in the machine, their individuality and impact lost in the shuffle. That realisation drove me to where I am today and why I created RiseWise, a tailored advisory service explicitly designed for Allied Health and professional service entrepreneurs. My mission is to help you move from reactive to proactive, transforming your business into a vehicle that fuels the lifestyle you’ve always envisioned.

At RiseWise, I focus on the 20% that’s uniquely yours. While many advisors offer cookie-cutter solutions, I take the time to understand your business and your unique capability. When applied skillfully, nothing can hold you back. Whether mastering your financials, building a winning team culture, or breaking free from burnout, I provide emotional and strategic plans that empower you to regain clarity, confidence, and control.

But my work isn’t just about business—it’s about life. I believe that success is about more than just numbers; it’s about creating balance, freedom, and fulfilment. Outside of RiseWise, My partner and I live the lifestyle I help others achieve—spending time downhill snow skiing in Whistler, BC, Canada, exploring the world, constantly seeking sunshine with the odd cocktail, fishing from my boat and having a small circle of really good friends to share time with for growth and inspiration.

Let’s start the conversation if you’re ready to reclaim your vision and create a business that supports your dream lifestyle.
