Is Your Business Running Your Life Instead of the Other Way Around?
Marketing & Mindset Coaching for family businesses
Marketing & Mindset Coaching for family businesses
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.”
- Steve Jobs
Your business is doing well, but it's running you ragged. Maybe you're working evenings and weekends and family time is always "tomorrow". You're also dealing with staff dramas and difficult clients. Firefighting instead of building and enjoying.
Most family business owners get trapped by two things:
1. They're working IN the business instead of ON it - every day is reactive rather than strategic.
2. They lack the systems & processes to scale without burning out.
After 30 years in marketing and 20 years in business, chances are, I'll have gone through the challenge you're facing. I help founders build businesses that serve their life, not enslave it.
We'll work on everything that matters, including: the mindset shifts that separate struggle from success, your marketing, client boundaries and priority management (there's no such thing as time management).
This isn't theory from someone who's only read books. I've made the mistakes, survived the tough times and invested serious money learning and implementing what actually works.
Now I'm sharing that with business owners who want more FREEDOM.
"Andy's marketing knowledge and strategic approach are excellent. He's helped me navigate complex business decisions with clarity."
"Andy brings innovative ideas with real passion. His extensive career across industries means he understands business at every level."
"Knowledgeable, responsive and always happy to help. Andy has handled numerous projects for us over the years with professionalism."
This is where I work directly with clients to help them get more out of business and out of life.
We cover marketing strategy but also the bigger picture: protecting your time, building systems that work without you, priority management, your expert positioning, training clients to respect boundaries, dealing with difficult staff situations, and setting up your business so it doesn't consume every waking hour.
The goal? A business that gives you more money and more sanity.
You get 30 years' experience applied to your specific business growth opportunities, plus proven processes to think differently and get more done. I've built businesses through recessions, a pandemic and everything in between - which means we won't waste time on theory or tactics that sound good but don't work in the real world.
This is 1-to-1 work. No groups, no dealing with other people's problems, no generic advice that doesn't fit your situation. Just focused attention on what YOUR business needs to thrive.
Actionable, fluff-free strategies and no guru nonsense.
If you're fulfilled within business but would rather outsource your marketing, I can take care of that too.
Social media, digital ads, content creation, email campaigns... whatever we agree will work best to keep your business visible and generating enquiries.
AI will be incorporated, of course, and properly... not lazy prompts that produce lazy results.
This is perfect for family business owners who want professional marketing without the HR headaches, allowing you to focus on what you do best.
Either way, it's the fundamentals of marketing that will move you forward - not this week's hack to fool the algorithms.
I focus on what actually works long-term in the real world, tested & measured through multiple economic cycles.
N.B. The algorithms always win!
Drop me an email or WhatsApp and we can have a quick back-and-forth. If it seems like there's a good fit, we'll arrange a Zoom call.
If you'd rather jump straight in and get stuff done, book a Power Hour (£349) below. Get immediate strategies to implement yourself. Or, if we work together ongoing, the fee comes off your first month.
