About Practice Prosperity
At Practice Prosperity we're all about creating better businesses and better lives for business owners. We want to make prosperity a practice and not just an aim.
We educate trade-based business owners to build profitable, well-run businesses that give them more time for family, more confidence in their leadership, and more freedom to enjoy life — without burning out.
The principles we live by, lead with, and build business around:
People Matter
We treat people with respect, care and fairness — no matter the pressure or pace. We value team, family and community above all.
Say What You Mean & Stand By It
We lead with candour and clarity. Straight talk builds trust — and our word means something.
Take Meaningful Action
We don’t just talk the talk. We show up, follow through, and take action on what we believe in — even when it’s hard.
Build What Matters
We build businesses that matter — to our families, our clients, and the communities we serve. Meaningful work over meaningless hustle.
Progress Over Perfection
We’re always learning, always growing. We value momentum over flawless plans — because done is better than perfect.
Own It
We take responsibility, hold each other accountable, and do what we say we’ll do. Proactive beats reactive.
Keep It Real & Resilient
We’re grounded, pragmatic, and not afraid to face challenges head-on. When we get knocked down, we rise, learn, and go again.
Live Life, Not Just Work
We believe business should support a good life — not steal it. We champion balance, freedom, and celebrate the wins along the way.
Testimonials
Our project was a complex one making it up on the go and really enjoyed working with someone who understand that and was so dedicated to making our business work.
I'll work with Cindy again anytime. Her inquiry and enthusiasm is hard to find. If you get a chance to work with her you’ll be lucky.
We were working up to 24 hours a day and were feeling quite overwhelmed. We wanted to grow but weren't sure how. Working with Cindy made us look at our numbers and made us more accountable. That gave us the courage to employ and start to take control of the business instead of just letting things roll on. 18 months later, we've doubled our income and multiplied our profit by 10!

Practice Prosperity Founder:
Cindy J Drake
I’ve spent over 25 years immersed in the world of business—starting as a kid in my family’s business, exploring accounting, and even rebuilding micro-businesses in Bosnia and Kosovo. These experiences shaped my passion for helping people navigate both life and business, leading me to become a professional coach after studying in Melbourne.
As an introvert who just gets things done, I’ve carved out success on my own terms—living what I believe prosperity is truly about: balancing life and work while thriving in both.
Growing up as the eldest child, I took on responsibilities early, raising my siblings and facing my own learning challenges. School didn’t always provide the tools I needed, so I had to learn how to survive—and later, how to thrive—the hard way. These experiences give me a deep understanding of the struggles small business owners face, whether it’s feeling “not good enough” or not knowing where to begin.
Getting to my first $1M in business, I’ve faced many of the same challenges my clients experience: navigating who to trust and learning tough lessons along the way. Now, I use those lessons to empower others—helping business owners move from reactive to proactive, from managing to strategising, and from juggling to building sustainable growth.
I’m also passionate about conflict resolution and helping people see new perspectives, finding fair ground where everyone feels valued. Advocacy is important —whether it’s for your business, your family, or your dreams—because it’s what I’ve had to do for myself and my loved ones.
Outside of my work, I’m a devoted wife and mother of two, always exploring ways to live my best life. Since having children, I've been interested in learning more about the family background and culture.
Understanding and celebrating culture has become a significant part of who I am. I’m honored to serve as the Deputy Chair Director for the AUS-NZ Croatian Women in Leadership group, where I’ve played a key role in developing our women's group and creating an annual STEMM Competition to inspire the next generation of Croatian diaspora youth.
Giving back to the community is deeply important to me, and I’ve also had the privilege of working with several Indigenous businesses, supporting their growth and celebrating their rich cultural heritage.
As a time-management and planning guru, I’ve seen firsthand how good planning and strategy can propel businesses forward. Just ask my clients—many have achieved their goals by working together, and I’d love to help you do the same.
Let’s create a roadmap for your success so you can build a life and business that truly prospers.
