Not a business coach

Sharing what I’ve learnt with new and small businesses owners to help them grow. But definitely not a business coach.

Talk to me
Head over to our Facebook group to talk to likeminded business owners and ask your questions or consider becoming a Patreon to get some more hands on help with your own business issues.

What I do
This website is a natural progression of my YouTube channel, where I continue to share my journey as a business owner. Combine this with frustration over self-proclaimed ‘business coaches’, none of whom actually run a successful business themselves!
