Future Fixers Purposeful Business Start-up programme is different from other start -up programmes in two simple ways:

We start with helping you understand what makes you tick, what motivates you, and how you can stay resilient. (Research has shown that this is the key to a successful business.)

We explore business planning, marketing, sales, and finance but always with a focus on how your business can have a positive impact on people and planet

Perhaps you have dreams to set up an enterprise to help you live the life you want to live, or you need to adapt your current business to enable it to flourish in a changing market. In either case we are here to support you.

Combining their unique skills and interests Dave and Karen set up The Future Fixers Business Start-up programme to inspire and encourage people to launch businesses which have at their heart the essence of who you truly are. We do this because we believe that by understanding yourself first, you will be able to create a profitable business which is an expression of your uniqueness, a business that you and your customers will love..

Who is it for?

• You think you want to start a business and want to do something worthwhile but you’re a little bit scared (understandably) and not sure where to start.
• You have a great idea , even the seed of an idea, but would welcome a bit of support to get it off the ground. (Who wouldn't?)
• You’re in the early years of a new business and feel like you need to re-evaluate where you’re going.
• You like the sound of this programme and want to be part of it.

The Programme

The Future Fixers programme will enable you to benefit from the peer support of others in your group and will provide you with opportunities to collaborate. All participants will be welcome to join our Group Coaching during the period of the Programme, free of charge.

By the end of the programme you will have a clear vision for the future and a focused plan to get there as well as the confidence and resilience needed to carry it through.

What you get:

• Twelve weeks of the support and guidance you need to make your business idea a reality, including an optional private Facebook Group where you connect with other people on the programme.
• An optional one-to-one coaching session
• The multiple benefits of the ‘People, Planet, Profit’ business model, or triple bottom line, for your enterprise
• Purposeful business planning, finance, marketing and time management.
• Encouragement to set goals that will truly inspire you (and get you out of bed in the mornings!)
• The chance to develop your resilience and interpersonal effectiveness, essential to running a successful business.
• The knowledge and understanding you need to ‘get out of your own way’ and make a success of your life.
• Opportunities to sell your product or service and to network with like-minded people.
• FREE access to Future Fixers Group Coaching modules for 3 months.

You will also have the chance to learn about the award winning Functional Fluency Model of Human Social Behaviour and the associated TIFF tool which will enhance what you already do well, and give you the understanding you need to communicate more effectively, and to transform patterns of behaviour that don’t work well.
