Are you looking for a growth partner?
Someone who thinks like a co-founder… but actually loves the bits that drain you?
You set the direction.
I make sure the business can keep up.
For many founders, growth isn't the problem.
The challenge is that revenue, team capacity, and leadership all need to evolve together.
That's where I come in.
As a trusted growth partner, I help ambitious business owners build companies that grow without breaking what they have spent years building.
The reality for many founders
If you’ve been running your business for a while, it’s usually because things are working.
Clients are happy.
The team is growing.
Revenue is moving in the right direction.
And yet...
You're still holding far more than you'd like.
Decisions bounce back to you.
Opportunities stall while you make time for them.
Stepping away feels risky.
The business is growing, but it still feels fragile.
I've been there.
I've built businesses, grown teams, navigated acquisitions, and spent years sitting alongside founders carrying more than they should.
Most don't need to work harder.
They need the business to stop relying on them for everything.
The three things I find myself coming back to with founders
Every founder's situation is different.
But after years of building businesses, sitting alongside founders, and helping teams grow, I've noticed that sustainable growth usually comes down to three things working together.
Revenue
Growth becomes much easier when you're clear on who you're helping, the problem you're solving, and how new opportunities consistently find their way into the business.
This can include audience clarity, positioning, outreach, partnerships, sales conversations, pricing, and creating a more intentional flow of opportunities.
Because when revenue feels accidental, everything else feels risky.
Team & Capacity
Most founders don't need to work harder.
They need a business that doesn't rely on them for every decision.
Together, we look at where work gets stuck, what good delegation actually looks like, and how to create enough structure, clarity, and accountability for people to do great work without everything bouncing back to you.
Because growth without capacity usually leads to burnout.
Founder Role
The founder's job changes as the business grows.
The challenge is that most people never get the time or space to redesign their role intentionally.
This is about understanding where you add the most value, what only you can do, and how to spend more time in your zone of genius instead of being pulled into every operational thread.
Because the business needs your leadership, not just your availability.
You don’t need to work harder. You need the other half of the partnership.
Whether you want a partner beside you in the business or a short reset to get your direction straight again, these are the containers that help you move toward the business that grows sustainably.
-
The closest thing to a co-founder - without giving away equity.
I come into your business - thinking with you and rolling up my sleeves beside you, holding the operational and commercial threads. I don’t just help you shape the plan - I help execute it. Decisions, priorities, systems, team dynamics… all the unglamourous pieces that makes your vision real.
You lead, imagine, and enrol - with someone who’s not just advising from the side lines, but equally invested in building the engine underneath so that the whole business can grow.
-
A partnership that helps the business expand without stretching you thinner.
This is an intentional partnership to help you step out of the weeds and help you prioritise, make decisions, and keep moving forward. Together we unpack what’s happening inside your business and support you to grow without rocking the boat.
Perfect if you are ready to prioritise working on the business, not just operating in the day-to-day detail.
-
The reset that turns constant busyness into intentional progress - with a plan built to deliver real results in months, not ‘one day.’
You get my attention on your business for a Sprint - cutting through the noise and turning the swirl of ideas into a direction that finally leads to the business you’ve been imagining.
This isn’t about adding to your plate. It’s about stripping it back, choosing what actually moves the needle, and building a 6 - 12 month plan that feels energising and you can trust.
You’ve been busy. You’ve been moving. But you’re not where you want to be. This sprint changes that.No ongoing commitment. Just clarity, a plan, and the relief of finally seeing how your goals become real.
The Roadmap
One of the most valuable things we create together is your Roadmap.
A visual operating system for the business.
One place where priorities, projects, decisions, opportunities, and growth plans live.
Not a strategy document.
A tool you'll actually use.
"The Roadmap tool is really, really helpful for me."
I don't ever want to lose this resource."
"Everything we need to do, I can see in there."

Visionaries I’ve Teamed up With

Nicola Telford, Views for Change
“I thought I was just looking for some good business connections.
What I found instead was a vibrant relationship - and, dare I say, a friendship - grounded in collaboration, safety, and real support.
If you’re ready to grow your good business, reach out to Sara - and don’t be surprised if it becomes something far greater than you expected.”

Laurence Johnson, Sussex Sea Farm
“Right from the start, Sara got it - the business, for me, wasn’t just about making a profit.
It was about values, impact, and building something I was proud of.
Those weekly sessions became the space where everything clicked.
Working with Sara was, without question, the best decision I made for me and my business.”

Krista Aspiras, Impactswell
“What surprised me most was how therapeutic the sessions were.
I opened up, spoke honestly, and I realised that overcoming mental blocks is just as essential to building a business as any action plan.
Working with Sara exceeded my expectations.
Building a purpose-led business is hard - and I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you want someone you can trust in your corner.”

Alex Delaney, Good Grief Gift Co
“Before I met Sara, I was so unfocused and scattered that I kept trying to fix everything, all at once. I didn’t know what to do first, so I just tried to do everything.
Now I have a clear 12-month plan where I actually understand what to prioritise and how to approach the whole setup.
The sense of overwhelm has eased massively - it finally feels manageable.”

Annie Murray, Edit Sweet
“What Sara gives isn’t generic advice - it’s heartfelt, real, practical, and tailored.
She sees you. She believes in you. And she walks with you until you believe in yourself.
If I hadn’t met Sara when I did, I don’t think any of this would’ve happened - or it would’ve taken years longer.
She grabbed my dream with me and helped me make it real!”

Roxy van der Post, Myosotis
“Before working with Sara, I honestly wasn’t even sure if my business model even made sense anymore. I felt stuck, second-guessing everything, and genuinely questioning whether I was heading in the right direction.
By the end of our Sprint, my whole perspective had shifted. I finally felt back on track - clearer, more confident, and actually excited about what’s possible for the business and for me.”

“Working with Sara gave me the structured, supportive environment I’d been missing - a place to tap into her experience, stay accountable, and learn from the real-world lessons from her own founder journey.”
From Where I’m Sitting
Most weeks, I find myself in a handful of interesting conversations with founders who are in that messy stage of growing their businesses - things are working, but not as easily as they would like.
The challenges I hear, the solutions we talk through - so much of it comes up over and over again.
So I started sharing a few of those moments, in case there’s something useful in there for others on the journey.
You already know where you're taking the business.
If you're looking for someone to help turn that vision into something the business can actually keep up with, let's talk.
