Why is business growth planning so important?
Developing a business plan is a vital tool for any business, yet new research from Barclays Bank reveals that 1 in 4 entrepreneurs don’t have any strategy in place to support their business growth.
Companies that do plan for growth get results - Did you know you could grow 30% faster than those in your industry who don’t plan?
Burke, A., Fraser, S., & Greene, F. J. (2010). The multiple effects of business planning on new venture performance. Journal of Management Studies, 47(3), 391-415.
Fast-growing companies usually have their business growth plans documented - they write it down!
In fact, 71 % of the fastest-growing companies have formal business plans.
Journal of Small Business Management,39(1), 60-72.
Ready to create yours?
Before we tell you about our strategy workshop and how we create your growth plan - let's talk about who this is really for...
- You are a Product Based Business, which means you have physical or digital products to sell.
- You have been running your business for at least 2 years and are now past being a start up.
- You are ideally trading sales of £1m+ or on the fast track for growth.
- The journey to date has been mainly self-funded (rather than VC backed).
As someone who has created your own product or brand you are now seeking:
- A clear plan for growth
- Fresh ideas and new market opportunities,
- More sales and traffic,
- To fix the problems and growth blockers in your business
- To check you are headed in the right direction!
If this is you - then you already know that you'll run a whole lot faster with someone showing you the exact steps required to get that growth.
You want practical activities you can start implementing today.
You need someone who has been there and done it – an expert who already knows what works ...and what doesn’t.
"One of the greatest values of a mentor is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination."
Whether you are selling on your own website and via marketplaces, or exploring wholesale to other retailers and distribution accounts globally,
You are:
- Frustrated at your current pace of growth or in need of a “Revival”
- Experiencing Sales or Product under performance
- Not sure what to do next to get growth
- Not clear what to prioritise and work on first - both in terms of time and investment
- Sensing, but you don’t really know, why Customers aren't buying at the rate or scale expected
- Feeling overwhelmed and slightly exhausted by your business journey to date
But you're not done yet...
You want more from your business. You want to flourish.
You are looking for clear, actionable steps you can follow to get growth. You want a genuine expert to lead and show you the way.
We can see that you're ambitious - that you aspire to be a global brand and have your products selling worldwide. You dream about developing major accounts and being visible in all the major stores and platforms for your industry.
We get that you want to share your values system and mission which sits alongside the reason why you developed the product in the first place.
Yes… that’s right… You want to make an impact.
If this is you - then you are the right place! You are exactly where you are meant to be. This business planning workshop has been specifically designed just for you…
By the end of this Strategy Workshop,
you will have…

" Emma is a growth genius and I am so glad we have received her advice. If we had not taken the plunge, it would have taken us at least a year to get to where we got to in one session, excellent value for money!
Emma is a dynamic and knowledgeable consultant, pulled from her years of experience from both owning and operating businesses and overseeing many different companies growth strategies.
I was concerned that it was too soon to invest in something like this, but it was the best decision I may possibly ever make for our business. We are now set up for success and we have a clear roadmap of what we need to do to achieve our goals.
Emma is very practical and really got to the deep roots of what our business is about, which has meant our messaging is also much clearer, which is going to make a massive difference."

As CEO and Founder, it’s a very lonely job. It is not unusual on the journey to feel a lack of confidence to grow your business or a wobble in courage when making an investment into the unknown.
You should give a business strategy workshop a shot if you are motivated by any of the following:
- You just can't see what's next for your business or what's possible.
- You've come to a tipping point / a cross roads and need to decide what's next.
- You feel you might be lacking the experience or skills necessary to execute at this next growth stage.
- You haven't grown a business before at this scale, you need a business plan and you are savvy enough to realise that don't know what you don't know.
- You feel stuck in the cycle of not knowing how to grow your business, not knowing what will work or what to prioritise or where best to invest their money.
- You are procrastinating rather than fixing the issues or being bold and pivoting.
- You are ready for a step change in how you look at your own business
- You would value genuine help from a trusted business advisor and insight with a fresh, independent point of view.
- You are ready for a revival of energy, and the chance to explore what's possible for you.
A note from Emma:
" I love finding self funded product creators and retailers, who are ready to unlock their business growth, and discover why customers aren’t yet buying their product at the rate or scale they dream of. I help you conquer that lack of growth and create a clear roadmap for what to do next ….
After working with hundreds of clients just like you, I know that you are struggling at this stage in your journey, frustrated, and maybe even starting to feel like a failure when it comes to your sales results – you want to achieve more and I know first-hand, how hard it is to have courage, to keep going and to re-invest your hard-earned money to get next level growth.
Together, on this strategy workshop I will show you how building a business that rewards you for your efforts and for what you are worth, is almost impossible to achieve by putting your head in the sand and peddling harder …
...Or by using clueless advisors and agencies who haven’t actually grown their own business themselves or spent their own hard earned money.
Instead, we have to use practical steps and proven methods that truly work to grow your business.
I can't wait to see you in the Strategy Workshop and show you these proven methods, as we create your plan for growth. It's time to jump-start your product sales and get a clear, personalised roadmap, so that you know what to prioritise and exactly how to achieve genuine growth in your business…
Are you ready to work on the RIGHT things that actually get you results in your business?
We know you are.
