Let’s get into it; you want to learn the practical steps to building and running your business

I’ve gone from inception to raising over £4M of investment for my multi-million pound business here in the UK. I’ve also started businesses that have failed or never even taken off. Alongside my corporate experience, I want to help you learn from what I did and didn’t do so well.

So, maybe you finally want to launch the business you’ve been dreaming of OR you’re tired of bootstrapping your business and are looking for external investment. I’d love to help you figure out your next steps in a safe + open environment to learn. Here are the four areas my masterclasses tend to focus on

#1 Taking the leap

This masterclass is focused on how we go from ideation to execution, including: how to assess the viability of your idea before over-committing (building a MVP), getting a community together pre-launch, finding low-cost ways of executing and how to maximise the impact of your launch.

#2 Financing your business

To begin with, we begin by understanding the criteria for businesses who need external investment vs. those who can sustainably build without, as well as the pros and cons of external investment. Depending on the masterclass, we will then go into different forms of investment and how to secure them.

#3 Building a global brand

This masterclass speaks for itself. It’s the visuals, the marketing, the story-telling, the cult-following; the stuff dreams are made of.

#4 Building your A-team

Moving away from the myth of the solo-preneur, we dig into why it’s important to have a team for the longevity of your business and how to attract the right talent early on.
