About Don Pelto
Business mentor. Noosa, Australia. 18+ years. 3,500+ businesses.
Your business works. It shouldn't feel this hard.
I help established founders make better decisions with the resources they already have. Not motivation. Not hype. Structural, strategic input that compounds over time.
I've mentored over 3,500 businesses since 2008. My ongoing clients stay an average of 5 to 7 years. The longest client relationship is 15 years.
I work with founders who are already generating $100K+ annually, who have proven offers and real clients, but feel stuck despite their success. I help them see what to fix first, what to eliminate, and what to stop handling personally.
What I Do
I mentor founders earning $100K+ who have proven offers and real clients but feel stuck inside their own success. I do not motivate. I do not coach feelings. I help you see what to fix first, what to delete, and what to stop carrying yourself.
Some founders come in mid-rebuild. Everything feels broken. Good. We fix what is broken first. Others come in strong. They just need a second pair of eyes. Good. We sharpen what works.
Results
- 3,500+ businesses mentored

Clients stay because every week their business gets sharper. Every conversation compounds.
Background
Â
Before building online businesses, I spent a decade at Mercedes-Benz as General Manager of a Sydney dealership network. I left the corporate world in 2008 to build my own businesses full-time.
I founded multiple seven-figure online businesses including VisionFind. I published Work Less, Make More — a book about building a profitable business without burning out.
Today I surf most mornings, work 10-15 hours per week, and my business operates independently. I mentor a small group of established founders through my Mentor program.
Who This Is For
Â
You run a real business. $100K+ annual revenue. Paying clients. Proven delivery. You are not looking for motivation. You are looking for someone who sees the whole picture and tells you what to do next.
If you are under $100K or still proving your offer, come back when you have traction.

Timeline
The Schramko Name
The Schramko family name can be traced back to 1622, when Paulus Sranko was granted Letters Patent of Nobility by King Ferdinand II of Hungary. The name evolved through Sranko, Sramko, and Schramko over four centuries. The coat of arms shown here was granted in that original royal decree.
