This 4-week programme has been developed to help you and your business make those changes, offering you:

- Motivation and energy to start pushing your business forward
- Support to make the changes you want to make
- Lots of frameworks, models and techniques to help you implement big or small changes within your business that will have a big impact
With the chance to step outside your business and work on your business, you can make small incremental changes that will add up to big changes in profits, general organisation and the motivation of you and your team.
What’s covered in the programme:
- Vision and purpose – this is so important for your business – having a sharp, clear focus on where you want to be and how that looks with crave a path for everything else we’ll cover in the programme.
- Developing your USPs and sales pitch – When you know when you are going we can work through how to create a service proposition that resonates with potential customers and clients
- Developing your Team – We all need a team to help us get where we want to be, whether that’s an internal team, external team or just the team in your head. Learning how to navigate this area of your business can often be the most daunting task for a business owner, so we’ll look at techniques to help you manage this
- Systems, systems, systems - Systems make your business and your life run more smoothly. They take away the stress and uncertainty and allow you see how the business and money flows through your organisation. Write them one and you and others can follow them a thousand times.

Organiser of Better your business workshop (4 week course)
Should you be working so hard in your business? As the business owner there is so much interference to deal with; making all the decisions, running your business day to day, dealing with the needs of the team and customers, to name a few. Maybe the harsh reality is that your business doesn’t work without you! Ask yourself if you are enjoying the fruits of your business; does it pay you what it should, do you enjoy the freedom of time with your family, friend or hobbies and do you feel empowered by it or stuck in it?
It doesn’t have to be that way. I understand the frustrations which tend to occur along your business journey. The delays and distractions along the way, that slow your progress, productivity and even profitability. Ultimately hindering the growth of your business towards what you know is achievable and the reason you had the courage to start in the first place.
If any of this sounds like you, don’t you owe it to yourself to take a moment to see if there is a better way? If you’re open to being challenged, I’m going to be able to help. Come along to one of my events to find out how I can help you!
