It's easy to come up with startup ideas, but much harder to actually quit your job and start a company. I thoroughly enjoy helping people take their first steps – or their 1,000th step – along the path to running their own successful business. With many years of experience in coaching entrepreneurs, I’m well placed to help scope your business idea, help you launch faster and with less risk, or help your existing business flourish.
Some people have always dreamed of running their own business. Others get inspired by their product or service and discover the world of startups almost accidentally. And others believe a startup is simply a more flexible alternative to a traditional job. There is no right or wrong, and all of these drivers can lead to the creation of successful startups. Whether you are wanting to discover your dream business idea, to start a business you have in mind, or to make your existing business more successful, we will work together to create a bespoke, practical action plan to get you moving in the right direction.
Startup Coaching is a specialized application of Business Coaching to start-ups and potential entrepreneurs.

There is no denying it. When starting a business, I cannot think of any individual that I have dealt with that has not lacked confidence or certainty when making at least a handful of decisions each month in a startup.
That is not to say that every time we have the answers exactly, either. As a good startup coach, I can help to weigh up those options and challenge and mediate a thought process. After this, you should have far more confidence in our decision and a newfound rigor to apply to such decisions in the future.
